It’s been 31 days of writing. Eighteen of them have been while social distancing. I’ve learned a few things about myself, my family and even you.

SOL 2020 30: social distancing—probably not almost over
I woke up this morning from my week “off” due to spring break. Today I officially had to be ready to work and available for most of the day. The kids were still asleep when I reached for my phone to check the time.
Just before 7:00am.
SOL 2020 29: social distancing day ???
It’s late and I’ve got nothing to write about. All the days have blurred into one giant cluster of nothingness.
Everything is the same and nothing is changing.
SOL 2020 28: social distancing day…I don’t remember
Like last week, the only thing that I’m differentiated today from any other is that my husband was home. All the days are blending. I’m beginning to see how everyone loses track of days when they are retired.
SOL 2020 27 with Five Minute Friday: adjust
We’ve had to adjust a lot over the past few weeks. A global pandemic with a state mandate to stay-put will do that.
Most adjustments were not the kind I wanted to make.
SOL 2020 26: social distancing day 13
My mom always had this fantasy that we were the type of family that would have a table set up in the family room where we would work on a giant puzzle.
This never happened. Ever.
SOL 2020 25: social distancing day 12
Even before we told the kids that BabyBoss3 was on his/her way, George had a fascination with babies. He pointed them out at daycare or in the store. He stole his sister’s dollies. He talked about them every time he saw one on TV.
Do you think we should get George his own doll?
SOL 2020 24: social distancing day 11
Not much to report. Everything is how it’s been for the last week or so. This kids are as stir crazy as I am.
Eat. Play. TV. Eat. Read. Play. Eat. Repeat.
SOL 2020 23: social distancing day 10
George is screaming from his bed. It’s for no particular reason other than that he wants to be anywhere but his crib. The cry is that fake kind of cry that is more annoying than distressed. McKenna just watched two shows with me before I tucked her in. For 20 minutes. She snuck out of her room 30 seconds later to say goodnight to Daddy who was working in the basement.
SOL 2020 22: social distancing day 9
It was nice to have no obligations this weekend. I enjoyed making meals for my family even though it is going to start feeling like an episode of Chopped in a week every time I try to prepare something.
