Define Normal

We really are trying to get back to normal.
Whatever normal is.
I tend to interrupt people when they say
“When things get back to normal I will…”
Wait. Stop.
Define normal.
We have had a few normal moments.
In between the darling twins arrival, departure, return, departure, return, departure…yes, if you are counting – it means they came home.
AGAIN.
But back to the subject of normal…
We have experienced Scary Baby’s first day of school.
In a brand new school. 5th grade. No pictures. 4th child syndrome. Sorry.
PhilBillPaul had another birthday. That was barely acknowledged because it fell on the 2nd day of school and the day the twins left. Sorry.
This is our normal.
This past Friday after school, Scary Baby had another unnecessary magical elementary school dance.
This one with the theme of Solid Gold 70’s Dance.
Do I really need to tell you that the one with the rainbow afro wig (which doubles as a clown wig at Halloween – I love multi-purpose items) is our precious Scary Baby?
This picture brings us back full circle.
Define Normal?
Hope you have some *normal* moments this week…
One year ago..
Let’s see…. Normal would be what 80% of the days are supposed to be like, and because that changes every year, Normal means constantly adjusting to our new situation!! Have fun finding your new routine this year, and I hope it includes writing to us!!
PS – A dance this early in the school year?!?!?!?! At least the pictures look like the lights are on and they aren’t dancing with partners!
@Karen–We’re working on adjusting! Our normal seems to change weekly if not daily but we’re doing our best most days!
The dance was a fundraiser withe people getting to bring their gold to sell – the new craze to make a little cash – and 40% goes to the school. I think that was the deal…I did read the flyer. Good point. Lights and no partners goes on the positive side!!!
