Hello Friday. It’s been forever ...
1/ This week I ordered a box of fish. The label said “use within 3 days.” Normally this would feel like pressure. Right now it feels like my chance at victory.
2/ “Where’s my shoes?” has been replaced by “Where’s my earbuds?” If I didn’t know where your shoes were, you already have the answer to where I think your earbuds are.
3/ To spring forward for daylight savings used to be so exciting. Now it just means we have to wait an extra, super duper long hour to go to bed.
4/ Remember when our kids wore backpacks and sometimes they forgot them at home. We would walk 4 miles, in the snow, uphill to bring it to them now.
5/ Husband to me mid morning: “I don’t have my loyalty card with me today.” I made him the coffee anyway.
6/ Instagram needs a new filter called “Quarantine” which adds a glass window in front of your image, creating a blurred and sad effect.
7/ This crisis has created a whole new genre of hilarious and inspirational video making. What hasn’t changed is what I find hilarious and inspirational is NOT the same thing my children find.
8/ “Oh yeah, Mom. One of my classmates asked during class why you have such weird artwork in your bedroom.” As if a Mother’s privacy needed further invasion.
9/ Right about now wouldn’t it be nice to hear Mr. Rogers reassure us that it’s going to be a beautiful day in the living room.
10/ Since we are all washing our hands now with more regularity, would it be ok if we extended that ask to after you eat PB&J and before you touch my computer.
11/ Is anyone taking a middle of the road wardrobe approach? From the screenside looks of it, it’s glam or glum and glum is winning.
12/ If your children already thought your office job sounded boring, 2020 is not likely to be the year you change their mind.
13/ I wonder if all you gluten free people are chuckling that we can’t find flour. It’s only fair. We all did that when we tried your “bread.”
14/ Many weeks ago I ordered a box of wine from Italy. Its delivery has understandably slowed for not being an essential good. This week my husband ordered and received his shipment of Burts Bees chapstick. The system is rigged.
15/ Running while social distancing in parks is the new dodge ball.
16/ Time heals all wounds except I’m really not sure about some of those haircuts you’ve given your husbands.
17/ Have you come downstairs for coffee, tea, hopes that I’ve made the 5th smoothie of the day, or just the one change in scenery available?
18/ I fear my children for when they return to the public and have forgotten how to hold it in.
19/ To the little girl in one of our neighboring back gardens singing at the top of her lungs: “This girl is on fire!” Honey, your Mom can’t hear you anymore but we can.
Enjoy your 30three day weekend!
