8:00 am – I very reluctantly roll out of bed. I don’t need to brush my hair or do makeup because I already know I won’t be leaving the house today. The sweatpants I wore to bed will do just fine until at least mid-afternoon. 8:15 am – I, hilariously, use Alexa to play “The…… Continue reading A Day In The Life Of A Pandemic Mom

Distance Learning, Toddler Terror, And The Comfort Of Saying ‘F’ It
It started today. Distance Learning. Courtesy of Rona. My third grader crushed it. The kid barely needed me. I found myself tiptoeing to his bedroom, where he sat at his desk completely enthralled in his new learning platform. I kept assuming that any minute he would call out for help, but instead, a floor board…… Continue reading Distance Learning, Toddler Terror, And The Comfort Of Saying ‘F’ It
Things I Didn’t Miss During Lockdown
The whole COVID timeline is beginning to get a little fuzzy for me now. My days have been running together since March and I have been wearing my husband’s boxers as shorts daily since April.

Slowing Down
So, my family and I tried something different this past week. Different for us, at least. We have been living at our campground for 10 days now.

Why I Cry All The Time
I cry all the time. I know that my dry, sarcastic personality makes that hard to believe – but it’s true. I am, in fact, one giant blubbering bitch. And what’s more – I ugly cry. I cry over everything. Sad – cry. Mad – cry. Happy, overwhelmed, frustrated, joyful, hopeful, laughing, proud – cry,…… Continue reading Why I Cry All The Time

It’s OK
Today is the 36th day that my children and I have been in Isolation. The 36th day of no school, no in-person shopping, no parks, movies, or gyms… Really though, ask me how upset I am that Make Believe and The Jump Yard are closed…I hate those places anyway.

Dining in Style During Covid-Isolation
Last week, we had a Fancy Dinner Party. Because, why the hell not? To be clear, it wasn’t an actual party. Just Mommy & Daddy, plus three kiddos.
