@Barb – I now have all four of my big kids in rock climbing classes. This is definitely one of the reasons!

@Nicky – glad to hear the BuJo is giving you confidence to face a re-opening world!

I’ve started a Bullet Journal. Over lockdowns my mind has certainly lacked clarity and I’ve become very forgetful. I always liked the idea of a Bujo but it looked very complicated. The book was 99p on Kindle last week and now I’m away! All my lists & thoughts/projects that were in pads, on post its, on my phone are now all in one place and I feel life is back to being a bit more organised so I can face the next few months of the world opening up again. I have some anxiety about that anyway but the Bujo has made me feel a bit more comfortable about it and hopefully ready to deal with what comes.

They really have to weigh their options, feel their bodies, not rush, and even when they reach the goal of the ceiling, can’t let completely loose quite yet, they still have to “clean up”, reversing the process to get back down to the ground. THEN they can run around in circles. Definite life skills!

Those little moments among the chaos make it all worth it, or at least make it all tolerable. And yes, our remembering selves will focus on that vs the tough parts. Glad you made the best of the weekend!

I manage the kitchen, My hubby the 3 bathrooms, my son the living room / dining room and my daughter the foyer and play or schoolroom!
