I haven’t posted in a few days, partly because nothing of note has really happened. It’s rained most of the week, and when it hasn’t been raining it’s been cold. Hoping that the nicer weather forecasted for the weekend will actually happen! Days 66-69 (May 19-22) As I already mentioned, we got a LOT of … Continue reading

Diary of a Quarantined Mom: Days 61 and 62
It’s the end of another week… week nine, to be exact. It’s really weird to realize that it’s been that many weeks of working/momming from home, especially when we first started I figured it would be 4-6 weeks max. But here we are! Days 61 and 62 (May 14 and 15) On day 61, the … Continue reading
Diary of a Quarantined Mom: Days 59 and 60
Holy cow, it’s been 60 days! It feels like it has been much longer than that, and yet it also seems like the time is passing quickly. Kind of like when you have a baby and the individual days seem so long, yet after what seems like no time at all you have a one … Continue reading
Diary of a Quarantined Mom: Days 56-58
In today’s episode of Cat Signs Up for Weird Virtual Running Challenges, I just registered for the virtual Old Glory Marathon All-American Challenge. What is this, you ask? Why, it’s a challenge where I will run a 5K, 10K, half marathon, and full marathon alone in the fall. Because I am crazy, and because I … Continue reading
Diary of a Quarantined Mom: Days 54 and 55
Another week is over and it’s Mother’s Day weekend! I know I have a real gift waiting because there is a large box in the hallway I’m not allowed to open until Sunday, according to Rose. But she did give me a seed from her apple today and told me it was a Mother’s Day … Continue reading
Diary of a Quarantined Mom: Days 52 and 53
So far, this week has been fairly good. Probably the best thing is that is has gone quite quickly and we are somehow at the end of Wednesday. The weather has not been fantastic but it’s not awful so I guess *meh*? Days 52 and 53 (May 5 and 6) A lot of people celebrated … Continue reading
Diary of a Quarantined Mom: Day 47
I’m starting to sound like a broken record, but today was hard. This week was hard. Tomorrow is the start of a new month and there’s no end in sight for our current situation, and that is hard. I’m just exhausted this week: with my kids, with work, with myself, with life. Day 47 (April … Continue reading
Diary of a Quarantined Mom: Day 46
After a tiring start to the day on Tuesday, I was happy to wake up well-rested Wednesday morning. Though I did have a strange dream that I had to go back to the office and couldn’t remember my routine and couldn’t find my face mask… and when I did find it, it had extra elastic … Continue reading
Diary of a Quarantined Mom: Day 45
Today was good, and then today was bad. It was a mentally draining and exhausting day. I don’t have too many of those, so I often don’t know how to handle it when I do. Please don’t feel bad for me; I didn’t write this to get people’s sympathy or to try and get people … Continue reading
Diary of a Quarantined Mom: Days 39-44
And so another five days went by. It’s hard to believe I am writing this on day 45. How has that much time passed? Sometimes, it seems like it has been much longer and we have always been in this routine. But other times it drags and I wonder how much longer I can cope … Continue reading
