And just like that, school runs have resumed! To all the mums whose children are resuming school today, I greet you. ❤️
The school drop-offs and pick-ups are back, the morning rush is back, and somehow we are all expected to wake up and function like we didn't just spend the last few weeks enjoying a slower pace.
For me, yesterday was a lot.
I had travelled for a week and only returned on Saturday night. So Sunday was basically my only chance to get D***hima ready for school.
Usually when she is commencing a new class, I like her to begin with them on the first day so it's easier for her to settle in.
So, I had to get her school things in order, wash her school bag and shoes, sort out and iron her uniforms, trim her nails, and then, of course, do her hair.
All of that had to happen in one day, while I was still trying to recover from my trip and attend to the other things that needed my attention at home.
By evening, I was tired o. 🥱
But somehow, we got everything done.
And this morning, there she was, dressed and ready for school.
My baby has resumed a new class. ❤️
I was actually quite happy seeing her leave this morning. It felt good to know that despite how hectic yesterday was, we made it.
So, to all the mums whose children are resuming today, well done!
Whether you prepared everything weeks ago or, like me, practically had a full “back-to-school operation” on Sunday , we made it to today.
Here's to a beautiful new school term for our children. May they learn, grow, make good friends and have a wonderful time💕
PS: we didn't get to take a picture this morning o. So this one will have to serve 😀
