Day 49: #Covid19HomePrison Today was good, last night was bad ! The good first though! The boys and I made (Itsy Bitsy) Spiders Crafts, played, ate food, & read books! After Patrick woke up from his nap today, he got a present because he woke up from his nap DRY ALL MONTH! [Now if we could get to the mornings consistently ]. The bad: Patrick’s night was HORRENDOUS. I got 2 hours of horrible sleep on the floor of his room . Then after an okay morning, he slammed his head into my nose. Not broken, but swollen and tender and every time I put my head down I get a headache. That’s on top of the sore and swollen knee that I have since Sunday when Anthony ninja- jump-kicked me knee sideways. These boys are conspiring against me! Tomorrow is Friday! Ohhhh waaaaiiiitttt. That basically doesn’t mean anything anymore. Onto day 50 and a New Month! #iCanDoThis #StayTheFuckHome #IfYouDontThisLastsLonger

Day 50: #Covid19HomePrison 50. Five,zero. FIFTY DAYS!!! I can’t believe it’s been 50 entire days. Today, my husband had calls every hour from 930-4. Have you ever tried to keep 2.5 & 4 year old boys quiet for an entire day with rain?! Cue the extra screen time and food! Tonight was the first Friday, in probably 2 years, that we haven’t had pizza (I had other food to make before it went bad) and little Anthony was upset we weren’t having “delvivery pizza”. Sorry kid, Mama’s the boss. I can not wait for this weekend! Sun, warmth, fresh air, alone time for cleaning, reorganizing and packing up! Give me that therapy! Have fun! Also, for those that venture out to parks or golfing …. Don’t fuck this up for the rest of us, okay, thanks! #iCanDoThis #StayTheFuckHome #IfYouDontThisLastsLonger

Day 51: #Covid19HomePrison Woohoo! Today was fantastic! I started off the morning by cleaning and reorganizing the garage. Then I joined the boys outside for the rest of the day! We played baseball and rode bikes, collected sticks, rocks and worms. Daddy made the boys jeep faster and have a longer battery. Needless to say, they LOVE it. We were outside for so long we were able to eat snack, lunch, dinner and dessert! We finished our night off with a little fire and some s’mores! I even got a little sunburn today! Soooo thankful for such a beautiful sunny day, looking forward to tomorrow! #iCanDoThis #StayTheFuckHome #IfYouDontThisLastsLonger

May 52: #Covid19HomePrison I used to think of myself as a WINTER person. Now, don’t get me wrong, I still LOVE the winter and snow… But being in quarantine has completely changed my perception on my ATTITUDE towards the weather. I’m clearly a happier and healthier person when it’s sunny and warm out; maybe some of you had it right all along? (I’m not a doctor, just stating personal facts). We had a fantasticly awesome day outside. I did some gardening: raking and bagging leaves. Got a great base coat and the boys had so much fun driving their Jeep and “helping” me. We burned the twigs, set up the water table and got soaked with the hose. If you have read my post this far, then maybe you’ll keep going and answer these questions for me? PLEASE ANSWER EITHER WAY.. Do you know anyone who has had covid? Have you traced it? Have you known anyone to get Covid from groceries or take out food? How did they get it? … I will repost these questions until I feel like I have enough answers for my own knowledge. thanks love you! #iCanDoThis #StayTheFuckHome #IfYouDontThisLastsLonger

Day 53 & 54: #Covid19HomePrison Welp, it took 53 days, but I have to admit, I forgot to post last night. So here’s a 2 day post. I guess that’s because not a whole lot happened yesterday. We did school work and then played outside. And today was basically the same. Patrick was a HANDFUL today. However, I can say that I shortened his naps the past 2 days and he has slept better at night. I will miss my 2 hours of getting things done and a quiet house… But I’ll be able to sleep at night. Anthony didn’t stop napping until he was 3 1/2. He took 3 hour naps until he was 3 and then 2-2.5 hours for the following 6 months. Patrick is now only allowed 45 mins. at most ..and he’s only 2 1/2. Let’s see how this trouble maker does tonight. #iCanDoThis #StayTheFuckHome #IfYouDontThisLastsLonger
