Day 62: #Covid19HomePrison Today we had a surprise visit from Uncle Evan. I’m a firm believer in putting a little fear into your children, so it was helpful he was in uniform (state trooper). I told the boys that if they don’t listen, Uncle Evan would have to take them away to the police station. It worked for like 5 minutes, but they brought up “uncle police officer” ALL day … So the seed has been planted. ….and no change today. (I think maybe he’s all out ) #iCanDoThis #StayTheFuckHome #IfYouDontThisLastsLonger

I will be thoroughly enjoying the next couple of days and the nice weather.. because, Tomorrow will be better! #iCanDoThis #StayTheFuckHome #IfYouDontThisLastsLonger

Day 64: #Covid19HomePrison 64 days of Quarantine. 5 years since the most epic party we have ever thrown….. And then we walked “home”. Yup, feels about the same amount of time .. so long ago, but wait, wasn’t that just yesterday? I love this man more than words can say. He’s my everything. 10.5 years ago we met, after NOT meeting for 6 years prior and I guess all you can say is, it was Fate. Timing is everything. There’s no better fit, baby. Also highlights from today: Patrick confuses Aladdin with Jumanji.. so he chased me with the Aladdin book asking me, “mommy, you want to play-read Jumanji?”. –kid, don’t you know we’re living in that game right now?!? We played outside in the water and there were only 47 timeouts today. #iCanDoThis #StayTheFuckHome #IfYouDontThisLastsLonger

Day 65: #Covid19HomePrison We spent the entire day outside, playing, fixing toys, pruning, eating, swings, bubbles & Mimi came over for dinner outside. Today’s weather was perfect, absolutely perfect! It was the first Saturday without an agenda. I just did whatever I wanted, most of which was sitting. Such a nice, long Saturday! #iCanDoThis #StayTheFuckHome #IfYouDontThisLastsLonger

May 66: #Covid19HomePrison Today we traveled to Lyndhurst to water my blueberry bush. We keep it there so that the deer don’t eat it up here. It was a nice lazy Sunday! Tomorrow is Monday, but only 5 weeks left of school!! #iCanDoThis #StayTheFuckHome #IfYouDontThisLastsLonger

Day 67&68: #Covid19HomePrison So far this week has been pretty uneventful. Monday, I was just in a weirdo mood – no motivation for much of anything and I had a list a mile long. Nothing got done, including my nightly post. Today was a better day, although extremely windy! Anthony had school and then we tried to play outside. The wind was blowing, little twig branches were coming down and we were getting stuff in our eyes.. so the boys had movie day instead. I cleaned and did laundry! Thinking about it now, the past 2 days have felt like an entire week! Tomorrow is only Wednesday, but it’s my Love’s birthday! Send him happy greetings tomorrow! #iCanDoThis #StayTheFuckHome #IfYouDontThisLastsLonger

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
