Totally agree about pulling the sand. Or carrying a bag full of rocks.
It IS too much. You’re definitely not alone in feeling guilty – I’ve spent most of this year feeling like I’m trying to do everything and failing at most of it.
Good motto! I keep repeating to myself: The only way out is through.

I have moments where this is all too much. I feel so guilty at my gratitude that the boys go back to school tomorrow and at my fear of the looming return to home learning.
But I try to remind myself of the things we have reason to be grateful for.
Keep going, that my 2020 motto. Just keep going. Xx
