And so the cycle continues. Another working week done. Another weekend to look forward to. The only thing that seems to be changing is the tolerance levels of all 4 of us. The kids are pushing our buttons and if you ask them I’m sure they’d say that we are pushing theres. I’ve seen a lotContinue reading “DAY 94 – 19 June 2020”

After getting over the hump yesterday we are heading downhill at great speed. Often, getting to the weekend quickly is a good thing but things are getting ever so slightly strained in the Low household. Despite everyone appearing to sleep well, the lockdown exhaustion is definitely kicking in. Either that or last night’s furry chickenContinue reading “DAY 93 – 18 June 2020”

Over the hump! And over 13 weeks since the Low family lockdown started which means we’ve now spent a full quarter following the rules and staying at home as much as possible. Things have been pretty good recently but today ended up being a really tough day. I think it’s because everyone is exhausted, especiallyContinue reading “DAY 92 – 17 June 2020”

So there we have it. Another day ticked off, or in my case another line scratched into my bedroom wall as I tally mark my way through lockdown.Today was a strange day. The kids seemed full of the joys of spring and were bouncing with energy whilst Mammy and Daddy both felt exhausted and atContinue reading “DAY 91 – 16 June 2020”

So how was everyone’s Monday? It’ll come as no surprise to you that the kids had a whale of a day, as they seem to do every day. Daddy had to go into the office and once again I really missed them. Mammy was in charge and didn’t seem to love the hyperactivity as whenContinue reading “DAY 90 – 15 June 2020”

Well there we have it. Yet another lockdown weekend completed and everyone is tucked up in bed. After the excitement of yesterday, today was a slightly more sedate affair. E had some difficulty letting go of her “I’m the boss of the house” role and ordained this morning that if she couldn’t be in chargeContinue reading “DAY 89 – 14 June 2020”

A wet weekend is underway but lots of excitement in the Low household! Despite a later than usual night last night, including an impromptu midnight visit from E, coupled with an early start from M, we couldn’t ignore the fact that E has had an amazing week doing her schoolwork and we are so proudContinue reading “DAY 88 – 13 June 2020”

Love a Friday. Such a good day and some would say the best day of the week. It’s been a hard week for lots of reasons but everything has felt manageable as when bad news has arrived I could just walk down the stairs and my three rocks are right there. Maybe #RemoteWorking is the way forwardContinue reading “DAY 87 – 12 June 2020”

Thursdays seem to always be really happy days in lockdown for some reason. The week since M’s birthday has flown over and only 51 weeks until his next one. It started with Steph and E going out for their latest Couch to 5k run early doors and weirdly it just seemed to set all ofContinue reading “DAY 86 – 11 June 2020”

A wet and windy Wednesday in lockdown and a stark realisation has come over me this evening. Since Steph was furloughed I’ve been able to work more normal hours but in reality that just means more hours. And it means I’m hardly seeing the kids at all – we’ve not even been out for ourContinue reading “DAY 85 – 10 June 2020”
