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 37 and 38
Hi! This is my round-up of Tuesday and Wednesday, also known as quarantine days 37 and 38. Day 37 (April 21) Tuesday seemed like the longest and stupidest day in the history of days. I had several instances of realizing it was only Tuesday and wondering how that was possible. I actually think I dislike … Continue reading
Diary of a Quarantined Mom: Day 31
How has it been a month of working from home with the kids? It seems like the normal thing now. It’s weird that I can barely remember what it’s like to drop them off at daycare and actually go into the office. Day 31 (April 15) I don’t know if it’s because I was off … Continue reading
Diary of a Quarantined Mom: Day 26
I’m actually writing this blog post on Day 27. Yesterday was a little tough for me and I didn’t feel like writing at the end of the day. Instead, I had a beer and then some wine and watched The Wire and slept for more than 9 hours and now I feel much more human. … Continue reading
Diary of a Quarantined Mom: Day 25
Day 25 seems so much more daunting than day 24 for some reason. Like, we’re almost at 30 days, which is a month. A whole month of staying home and working/parenting. I’m exhausted. Day 25 (April 9) I didn’t sleep well at all last night. We had some pretty intense storms rolling through starting around … Continue reading
Diary of a Quarantined Mom: Day 24
This is probably going to be a pretty short post. Nothing of note really happened today. It was just another day. Kind of seems like all days are like that lately, just blurring together into one super massive day. Day 24 (April 8) Fun fact: When I was pregnant with Rose in 2015 I was … Continue reading
Diary of a Quarantined Mom: Day 23
Hard to believe we are into the third week of this, with many more weeks to follow. Yet here we are! Day 23 (April 7) Today was a pretty uneventful day, luckily. I got up and did a strength workout in my basement dungeon, showered, and got to work. I had a few calls today, … Continue reading
Diary of a Quarantined Mom: Days 20-22
The weekend flew by way too fast despite us going nowhere, and now here we are at the beginning of another week. But first, here’s a recap of our weekend. Days 21 and 21 (April 4 and 5) Saturday was an absolutely beautiful day. We had the windows open all day and spent a lot … Continue reading
Diary of a Quarantined Mom: Day 19
Today was one of those days where I expected to get a lot done and be really productive, but in reality the day was a flop as far as productivity goes. Fun fact, though: Five years ago today was my due date with Rose. She ended up hanging out in my belly for another 10 … Continue reading
Diary of a Quarantined Mom: Day 18
Phew, almost through another week. It’s hard to believe it’s almost been three weeks of this. And since our governor extended the stay-at-home order again today to May 1, it’s going to be at least another 4 weeks. Wheeee!!! Day 18: April 2 The sun was shining today, which was nice to see after a … Continue reading
