I didn’t realize that I had forgotten what normal feels like. Normal is driving the kids to school and then going about your day working or doing chores. It has been a year and a half since it’s been normal. It feels weird. I kinda like it, but it’s weird. Not really sure how I feel. Mostly I have felt a bunch of guilt for the boys being home and me not entertaining them 24/7 with games, activities, and crafts (or whatever). I know one mom who was doing all that stuff for her kids throughout this whole pandemic and posting about it. I felt bad I wasn’t being Super Awesome Mom the entire time. Now the boys are back in school and I don’t feel guilty. Kinda feel guilty I don’t feel guilty. So this is what normal feels like.
