Day 90+: #Covid19HomePrison Welp, it’s been fun.. but this is it. My daily/weekly updates are coming to an end. Day 91.. we’ve had our good and bad, our funny, loving, trying and sad days … The days when we thought everything was ending and the days when we were completely over everything that has happened. But we did it. We made it through, together, as a family. Still in love with my boys and our life, no matter what it looks like or what comes in our way. A pandemic can make or break you (is that a saying yet? It should be). I’ve learned and accomplished many things during these 3 months: I’m not cut out to be a school teacher but I became one and completed PreK3 and speech. Somehow I had more time before we were all stuck home, but I still potty trained and re-potty trained my 2 year old, I searched through poop for a week because said 2 year old “swallowed monies”, I took naps away and Patrick started sleeping through the night (after 10 months). Learned my boys are little crazy Tasmanian Devils and although they drive me crazy – life isn’t boring. And most of all, I realized that my own self-care is important. I found a skin routine that I enjoy and stick to morning and night. I need time to exercise to feel happy, I need alone time to feel sane, I need family to mellow out and I need my friendships to ground me. Thank you to my true friends who have continued to stay in contact – I love you. Today, we saw friends, like, actually hung out with friends. It was the best day. Soooo normal! I love them and I loved everything about today! . Dear New Jersey, Don’t Eff this up. I’d really like to NOT go through this again. Let’s be smart. Limit contact, mask up in stores and wash your hands! Please be smart about your life and your actions. As for myself, I don’t trust the general public (yet), sooooo I’ll be keeping my circle tight. Stay safe! #iCanDoThis #StayTheFuckHome #IfYouDontThisLastsLonger
