For the last week and half, life has just thrown us curveball after curveball after curveball. As a result, it’s thrown EVERYTHING off kilter. For a household that runs on routine and schedules (because that’s how we work best when we know what to expect when), it’s gotten REALLY rough.
Things are now starting to go to the wayside. There may be individuals routing for us, but they’re all doing it from a distance. There is absolutely NO ONE here with me in the trenches. No one to help look after the sick kid so I can do household chores. No one to take care of the house or the kid when I get sick. No one to help to with the overflowing dishes when your child is sick again and needs your help falling asleep. No one to step in when you get SO OVERWHELMED that you just start letting things go. This isn’t just one thing; it’s multiple.
So, here we go another night of letting dishes go. They were done last night, but it was only the bare minimum and must to clear off some counter space. Another attempt will be made tomorrow. Unless another curveball is thrown at us…
