I am also scared. I am frustrated. I am anxious. I am nervous. I am stressed. Aside from S knowing there are "germs" keeping us home, the boys don’t really realize what’s happening (thankfully). So, they sometimes tantrum and fight, as usual... adding to our stress about the current events, and causing me to wish under my breath that they’d give us a break during this time.

And everyday I realize, now more than ever, that what is most important is them, their health and their wellbeing.
The outside world may be full of uncertainty but of this I am certain: 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝.
If they’re okay, I’m okay.
