Mixed Feelings

Glad
That the girls are in school, getting social interaction with their peers and learning in a proper environment under the guidance of trained teachers and not this pseudo Mama-attempting-to-be-a-teacher-while-half-distracted-by-work person.

Half-worried
The virus is still out there and veiled in some asymptomatic carriers. Of course it's worrying. At the back of my mind, there's a niggling thought there. And I believe most parents have this thought as well. We can only keep our fingers crossed. Some parents seem to be intent on keeping their kids at home and home-schooling them for the time being. Can't say it's right or wrong. I can only remind the girls not to touch their faces, and to stay clean and sanitise or wash their hands regularly. But kids being kids, they may say "ok" now...and then forget about it 5mins later.

Glad
That I can work or take a break in peace now and not get distracted by not-so-tiny voices seeking my attention, or their shenanigans..

Half-Emo
Yeah, part of me is glad they are out of the house. And the other half of me is missing them. Missing their hugs and kisses and affections and mischievious grins and pretty smiles. Oh, the irony.
