Self Quarantine Day 14: Keep Going

It’s wildly tempting to give in to the melancholy of all of this and take a day off from writing. It’s funny though, my Lenten promise was to write every day. I’d done a crappy job of it up till this all started. It feels wrong not to write now when I have more timeContinue reading “Self Quarantine Day 14: Keep Going”

Self Quarantine Day 11: Quarantine Food

I definitely saw the food situation going differently when the topic of social distancing and self quarantining first started getting tossed around here. I had visions of home cooked meals every night and tasty, healthy lunches every day. The reality has been vastly different. For starters, The Hubs has been working late a lot soContinue reading “Self Quarantine Day 11: Quarantine Food”

Self Quarantine Day 10: Best Part of the Day

Back when I was in high school my Mom decided that we were going to try and eat dinner as a family. Not long after we realized that dinner conversation tended towards the negative. At some point she decided that she’d had enough and “best part of the day” was born. We do it atContinue reading “Self Quarantine Day 10: Best Part of the Day”

Self Quarantine Day 8: Woooh Buddy!

Alright so today is a big anniversary date in our family. It’s a bitter sweet and emotional day for me. Today makes two years since we brought The Conqueror home from the NICU but it also makes two years since my Pop left this world behind. Pop was a great man and we all missContinue reading “Self Quarantine Day 8: Woooh Buddy!”

Self Quarantine Day 7: Takin Care of Business

I managed to get an uninterrupted day of work in today and it was glorious. My mother-in-law watched the Twins so I could get some work done. I even got to go up to work and rescue my desk plants before they died of neglect. The girls got to play all day. The Hubs workedContinue reading “Self Quarantine Day 7: Takin Care of Business”

Self Quarantine Day 4: Venturing Out

We’ve all gotten very emotional. The reality of the situation is really sinking in and this extrovert is missing interacting with adults. The Hubs is here and wonderful but he’s still working (thank God) so it’s mostly me and the twins with the exception of work calls. The Twins are tired of each other. WeContinue reading “Self Quarantine Day 4: Venturing Out”

Self Quarantine Log Day 3: Veggie Fatigue, Hell Cats, and Important Calls

Today was the hardest day by far. The girls are tired of each other and I’m just plain tired. I’m not cut out to work from home while watching two toddlers. They’re not great at spending all day sharing Mommy with each other and her work. The entire family has had enough of my healthyContinue reading “Self Quarantine Log Day 3: Veggie Fatigue, Hell Cats, and Important Calls”

Self Quarantine Log Day 2: 5 Lessons Learned

Jesus it’s only been two days but it feels like eternity. Technically I haven’t worked in-office since Friday and had the day off Monday so maybe that’s what is making it feel like longer. Today didn’t run as smoothly as our day did yesterday. There were plenty of lessons learned but here are my topContinue reading “Self Quarantine Log Day 2: 5 Lessons Learned”

Self Quarantine Log Day 1

We’re wrapping up Day 1 of Corona Daycare here in the Mom Van. So far we’re virus free and still sane (at least as sane as we’ll ever be). I’m blessed to be able to work from home but I’ve also got the Twins with me. I’ve decided to log daily and hopefully share someContinue reading “Self Quarantine Log Day 1”
