I am up, fed, and lunch is packed. I think I left something essential (special shoe straps) for our first student on the bus. My kids that go to Hillsboro still are not back in school, so I do not go early and ride. I may stop and check for the special shoe straps before I go in to school. Life is pretty much the same here. Go to work, pay some bills, see the doctor, come home and work on things.

Actually there are reasons that I cannot.

I do hope you found the shoe straps. I prefer routine and schedules much more than craziness.

When he took off his shoes, I picked them up and put them in his back pack. At the same time I also put the straps in the back pack. I am just glad they came back. Many things do not.

I guess I'm still asleep: I thought you started your post with "I'm fed up"

Life is routine even if we're adjusting to new normals

The routine, at this point, is that everything can change at a moment's notice.

I hope you find the shoe straps. There's a calmness in routine.

We have no routine, however and due to other, personal issues, I am extremely stressed. I put the straps in his back pack.

Some weeks can be pretty routine but routine is good compared to dramas.

With my students there is often a variation away from routine.

Well. Life is not what they show in movie or tv

You are certainly right about that.
