Don’t bloody blame you! Our household finished isolating last week and we were going crazy too.
Could you ask the kids what activities they would like to do and let them set the schedule for the day (whether it’s family time, or individual?) They might enjoy having the power to choose and you might enjoy the mental break from planning and entertaining!

Also order an online shop to surround yourself with great food! That’ll take the edge off (again kids could help choose the treats or meals they’d like). YouTube has loads of family and solo workout videos to burn it all off again!

Go for a long early and late walk, somewhere quiet.

Lock yourself into your room, headphones on, dance

Sounds mad, but it got me through

Esp this song by Sia (Flames) spoke to me:

One foot in front of the other babe
One breath leads to another yeah
Just keep moving, oh
Look within for the strength today
Listen out for the voice to say
Just keep moving, oh
Go, go, go
Figure it out, figure it out, but don't stop moving
Go, go, go
Figure it out, figure it out, you can do this
So my love, keep on running
You gotta get through today, yeah
There my love, keep on running
Gotta keep those tears at bay, oh
Oh, my love, don't stop burning
Gonna send them up in flames
In flames
Don't stop, tomorrow's another day
Don't stop, tomorrow you'll feel no pain
Just keep moving, oh
Don't stop the past'll trip you up
You know, right now's gotta be enough
Just keep moving

I’d go for a walk in a really isolated place if you can.
