Try not doing anything when you're home one day and let them learn the difference.

It's actually really hard to really do nothing. 😅 Can never manage to do it, even when I've got the flu, or something.
I'm ill today and the closest thing I can get to relaxing is doing all the paperwork, cooking only one meal, instead of three, and helping my daughter clean up her bedroom.
Like, I'd go absolutely bonkers doing nothing.
It's probably just that I usually am so productive, that my "being unproductive" is still productive, but I have the sense that I came to a complete stop. But I didn't. It's just that I'm used to being so much faster, that it's like I feel like I'm moving in slow motion through a fog.
Sort of like, when I don't feel fit and can only read a couple of chapters in a book at a time, rather than zooming through the whole book, and it feels like I can hardly ready anything.
But that's probably a normal reading speed. But to me, I'm like, I CAN BARELY READ OMG.
