Day 42: #Covid19HomePrison TODAY WAS A GOOD DAY There were no fights, barely any crying, I didn’t have to yell. Thank God. Day 3 would have definitely broken me. We did school work and activities and fun stuff. Yay for today! #iCanDoThis #StayTheFuckHome #IfYouDontThisLastsLonger

Day 43: #Covid19HomePrison as much as I wish it wasn’t raining and cold, again.. today was still a good day. We did our required school work and then we cuddled and played and watched cartoons. And Patrick claimed one of my books for his own.. even tried to read it! Daddy made steel pizza for dinner! And Mama got to talk to her best friend on the phone from 830-1230! However, the phone hung up every 30 minutes!?! Wtf is that?? Who’s counting our minutes!? I have Verizon… Is it you #Sprint? Stop that BS!!! ****For anyone who needs this: please do not ingest or inject disinfectants.. if you do, you’re a dumbass and we will count/cut our losses!**** (Please don’t be remembered for eating tide pods and injecting yourselves with disinfectants ) #iCanDoThis #StayTheFuckHome #IfYouDontThisLastsLonger

Day 44: #Covid19HomePrison so much for it being a nice spring day, it was still freaking cold! Meanwhile, my family in Texas is having a heatwave this week 91-97° … Anthony had about 47 meltdowns today and for LEGIT no reason most of the time… But we were outside so crying doesn’t bother me as much It’s like he’s allergic to fresh air now Patrick had NO accidents! Woohoo! We had some social distancing with my in laws! And the boys really enjoyed seeing them! We ordered Cynthia Empanada-Lady Soto<— wish we had taken a photo… but we just dove right in! Next time #iCanDoThis #StayTheFuckHome #IfYouDontThisLastsLonger

Day 45: #Covid19HomePrison Another rainy day in Quarantine. NJ is the Rain Capital of Quarantine! Today was my MIL’s (Barbara D’Agosta) birthday (wish her a happy birthday)!!! The boys made her cookies and then we brought them over to her along with her video birthday message from so many family members and friends. Majority of our family is born between March and May then July, August and September. There will be HUGE family gatherings once we are allowed to. Soo many cakes and candles and presents & HUGS!!!!!!!! #iCanDoThis #StayTheFuckHome #IfYouDontThisLastsLonger

Day 46: #Covid19HomePrison Mondays, in homeschooling, are the worst days, but we make it through. Patrick was very whiny today, again. At 2.5 Anthony was such a fun and funny kid. The most crying he did was when he had to go to sleep at night – but he went to sleep and stayed asleep all night! Patrick is the exact freaking opposite of him and it’s gotten worse from this whole situation. When this is over, it’ll take half a year to get him back to a better daytime attitude and sleeping habit #iCanDoThis #StayTheFuckHome #IfYouDontThisLastsLonger

Day 47: #Covid19HomePrison We rushed through school work so we could enjoy this beautiful day. And boy was it! The boys both got a little sunburn! We rushed down to Mimi’s house so we could watch the Blues Angels and Thunderbirds fly over, and I mean directly over, Mimi’s house! We made it just in time. The boys got a kick out of that and Anthony told me it was the Decepticons. (Duh) We socially distanced for a bit! The boys were happy they could ride bikes on Mimi’s nice flat driveway and I was happy for the alone time to straighten up her garage for her. It was so therapeutic! I needed this! Tonight, I watched DC’s Livestream: AS SOCIAL AS I GET NOW and gave my husband a haircut. #iCanDoThis #StayTheFuckHome #IfYouDontThisLastsLonger

Day 48: #Covid19HomePrison school work was fun today! We learned the letter O, which is basically Anthony’s favorite letter and he got to talk to Miss Alana virtually! We even have a shrunken Miss Alana to take around our house and go on adventures with now! Update on my husband’s haircut – we’re still married! …(Post edit @ 2:10am… Just when I thought today was uneventful… Patrick decided to wake up at 1:30am… He whined and cried and eventually turned his bedroom light on and had a conversation with himself for 15+ minutes. Now I’m sitting in here. Who’s making me coffee tomorrow?! Anyone have any tips for sleep training 2.5 year old while we’re all in quarantine? I am fresh out of ideas and I’ve tried them all multiple times!! #iCanDoThis #StayTheFuckHome #IfYouDontThisLastsLonger
