Day 76: #Covid19HomePrison Today was such a busy busy day. Anthony had deadlines, IV had 2 virtual classes, also had to take care of Patrick, make a zillion meals/snacks, and had a virtual dance recital from home tonight. Woof. Long long busy day… But I made it. So proud of my students from Dance Dimensions on such a great performance from home! And kuddos to Ms. Annette Romano Merlini for all of her hard work on keeping classes running, employees employed, dancers dancing, changing up the end of year schedule and on a fantastic recital week! I know this wasn’t the celebratory 25th anniversary you had imagined.. but, the show must go on! Bravo

Day 77 & 78: #Covid19HomePrison I have spent the past 2 days making garbage. Yesterday emptied 2 closets in my house. Today I spent 7 hours going through countless memories and years of boxes accumulated from various moves (and multiple family members). It was a long and productive day. Downsizing takes a lot of hard work and I’m very proud of my mom for starting this journey! #iCanDoThis #StayTheFuckHome #IfYouDontThisLastsLonger

Day 79 & 80: #Covid19HomePrison 80 days. No school, no friends, no gymnastics, no parks or zoos, no trips, no parties… Same ol’Patrick. Thought we were in a good place for sleep, buuuut last night he was up every 5-10 minutes from 1230-330. Today, I was not a functional human being. Isn’t it funny how you can survive on no sleep for so long, but when you get a little, the next time you don’t, you’re useless!? We made it through today with the help of a bucket load of coffee, a lot of food and some cartoons. It’s June. In 2 weeks we can dine outside and in 3 weeks haircuts! Thankfully, slowly and surely! #iCanDoThis #StayTheFuckHome #IfYouDontThisLastsLonger

Day 81 & 82: #Covid19HomePrison Quick little update. PATRICK SLEPT ALL NIGHT!!!!!!!! He got a DD donut today! …I’ve gained more weight than I thought. I miss my schedule, my daily walks and all the extra activities with the kids, especially Turtle Back Zooand their hills! I was always doing something and that helped keep the weight off… But now, being stuck home-ish.. woof. Mama needs some freedoms! I want to see my family and friends and strangers.. but gosh, I’m honestly the most out of shape I have EVER been. . Anyway. There’s no segue… there is a whole effing lot going on in the world. I have been trying to figure out my feelings lately, with all that’s going on. I thought that I was doing everything right, but now, I think I wasn’t doing enough? So I promise to do more, to be more, and to talk more. That I can do. #iCanDoThis #StayTheFuckHome #IfYouDontThisLastsLonger
