Week 11
May 20, 2020
Day 69: #Covid19HomePrison today was the love of my life’s 37th birthday. He is my best friend, love of my life, and perfect fit. To celebrate 10 birthdays with you has been an adventure and full of memories. I’m sorry today was not the usual fun, adventurous or relaxing day it usual is. But it was your day nonetheless. I love you with all of my being. And we’ll just add this birthday present to our European Country/City Tour: Ireland, Spain, France and Italy again, Austria, Amsterdam, Berlin/Germany, Hungary, Australia.. I wouldn’t want to travel the world with anyone else. You are my favorite travel companion.
. Happy Birthday, My Love. ((We’re just 30 & 32, right??!!)) #iCanDoThis #StayTheFuckHome #IfYouDontThisLastsLonger

Day 70&71: #Covid19HomePrison Seventy plus days. Memorial Weekend. The first weekend in more than 12..13..15 years that I’m not in LBI ? I miss my extended family.. haven’t seen people since July, November and right before Quarantine started… WHEN WILL I SEE THEM AGAIN??? I don’t have much to post lately because it’s all been done and said already. The only exception is that I stopped napping Patrick, I think we are successfully RE-potty trained (he’s 2.5) and NOW he falls asleep within 10-15 minutes and only wakes up once a night. This is a quarantine milestone! He stopped sleeping through the night July 2019. I would sit in his room for an hour+ trying to get him to fall asleep. >>The separation anxiety.. and crying until he would get sick..<< 10 months.. TEN… fucking TENNNNNNNNNNN MONTHSSSSSSSSSS and all I had to do was cut his nap time?!?! Are you kidding me?!? …. Well, now that I’m getting some more sleep — I HOPE everyone else has a fantastic Memorial Day Weekend! (Whatever it may look like this year?!) #iCanDoThis #StayTheFuckHome #IfYouDontThisLastsLonger

Day 72: #Covid19HomePrison Welp, this morning I spent 2 hours looking for a piece to Patrick’s carseat that I thought he somehow got off and lost it. I must have asked him where it was about 200 times.. he kept telling me he didn’t know where it was. And he was right, because tonight I found it. Stuck all the way inside as tight as can be. I almost got my hands stuck trying to wiggle it free. So tomorrow, I will be issuing an apology to a 2.5 year old.

Day 73: #Covid19HomePrison We spent the weekend outside with the grandparents, BBQing, swimming (the boys are crazy!), drinking Pina Coladas, getting some color and we slept at Nana and Pa’s. Overall it was a great weekend, I did miss the beach and the rest of the family! One more day off tomorrow and then back to “school”. We’re almost there! #iCanDoThis #StayTheFuckHome #IfYouDontThisLastsLonger

Day 74 & 75: #Covid19HomePrison May 27th … 75 days…. life is and has been reopening. Slowly, thankfully, slowly. We can go to the beach .. we can have 25 people in our backyard… Socially distanced. We see our family. But we miss our friends. I miss going out to dinner and date nights. I miss concerts. And I miss having the ability to plan a vacation. I wanted to see family – TX, VA, PA, FL, OR. I wish we were under construction. I CAN NOT WAIT to travel abroad again. I wanted to head to Spain or Austria or Belgium or Amsterdam… but now I’m thinking maybe just head back to my favorites – Paris, Capri, Geneva and Mykonos.. just to see if the feeling is the same? God, I hope it does. Each city has it own feeling. Each of those feelings makes up a little part of me. I know there is a new normal (coming) but I NEED some semblance of the old to shine through.
SOOOO thankful for my hardworking husband who makes all things in my life possible. I love you!
