Oh it's the weekend! And it's almost finished...
Wait...are weekends still a thing?
Oh, it's also Mother's Day around the world. Everyday, I think, ever since the various stages of lockdowns in the world, most of us have been in touch with our mothers -- perhaps for some like me, even more often than in the past few years. So Mother's Day today is not only celebrated in quite a limited way -- social distancing for us, but still in isolation for other parts of the world. But has also sort of waned in excitement as we may have been with our mums -- albeit virtually -- for many weeks leading up to this day. Or maybe it's just me. There's really no shopping for presents or anything like that, and we just had simple breakfast at my in-laws house.
I am a mum to a young child (who actually told me to add here that we didn't give him time on the iPad today! hahaha). And everyday with him now has really been like Mother's Day. He will no longer go back to school for the rest of the year as we have registered him with the Home Education Unit. At first, it felt weird having him around and stressfully trying to "school" him at home. But now that we have moved forward and moved away from "school", the three of us are just learning and living. And we are all learning with each other! Time spent as a family is really priceless! And we are just happy that we get to do that everyday now -- mother's day or no mother's day, weekend or no weekend. ;-)
