Back to normal, back to school <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It was with a collective sigh of relief that restrictions lifted and the children went back to school on March 8th after the best part of three months at home. Juggling work, homeschool and bandwidth was a pressure on us all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

School life isn’t exactly ‘back to normal’, but it’s a huge, happy step in the right direction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Restrictions lifted – April 12th<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Back<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

It’s been brilliant having some normality resume and more freedom. We’ve enjoyed alfresco dining, went away<\/a> for five nights, met outside with a few friends; and it’s been nice to go into non-essential shops again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since April 12th, school clubs and external ones have resumed. The children have been so excited. My own weekly exercise group Totally Mama<\/a> also started back (although I’ve kept up with weekly online poker nights<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shock to the system <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We’ve had many pretty inert weeks and our world got a lot smaller for a period. Then suddenly all activities resumed in unison and it was a bit of a whirlwind. I’m not complaining, but it’s been quite an acceleration in pace: swimming until 7.30pm, early morning netball, kids’ club, gymnastics until 8.30pm and Saturday morning netball… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s certainly more hectic again and coupled with renewed social engagements and doing things ‘in real life’ once more it’s requiring a bit of readjustment. <\/p>\n\n\n
