This one is about soccer
Because life is so surreal lately I haven’t known what to write about. However, in my Facebook memories, this popped up from 2016: A major blowout for the Sabertooth Pack this morning. So major that when the score reached 5-0 I told our two best players that they weren’t allowed to take a goal shot…
We Need to Do Better
Last night I forgot to turn on the heater so when we all woke up, our home was a frosty 60 degrees. It was heating very slowly, so when it was time for school–online distance learning–I wrapped Poppy up in a blanket to keep her warm. Shortly afterwards, she reported that she had gotten in…
The Kids Are Not Going To Be Fine
Whenever I think or talk about school, I’ve been saying “we’re going to be fine.” I’m thinking, we are an upper middle class family who has everything we need–a safe place to ride out the pandemic, food on the table, a single income that supports our needs, a stay at home mom to supervise learning,…
The School Bell Is Ringing, Kind Of
Honestly I think we are the last people in the country to start school. That is, it starts next week. So. Here are my school woes. Poppy’s school is entirely online. Yay. However, they have been very stingy with information so we don’t actually know who her teacher is or what their daily schedule will…
It’s July Freakin’ 31st And We’re Still Here
Hey guys. What’s up? I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling like it’s July Freakin’ 31st and we are still here. Like, my last blog was in the beginning of May and I thought “Oh, we’ll be out of here by the end of June, tops! Then the kids will all go back to…
Escape the Room!
Oh my gosh, the girls and I did the funnest activity on Zoom–a digital escape room! We had originally thought that we might split up into two groups each with their own Zoom chats, and race each other solving the room, but then Pollyanna was brain fried from work (at the hospital, we cut her…
A stranger in my own home
When the quarantine started and we packed up for the cabin, Cal said he was packing for 10 days. Ha ha I thought, such an optimist! I’m going to pack for 2 weeks! Yeah. After more than 5 weeks up here, we decided to go down as a family to our actual home Friday to…
It’s been so long!
I cannot believe it’s been so long since I last blogged. I mean, it’s not like I had anything else to do with my time being on quarantine. Seriously. Actually earlier I posted an entry that was overshare. So much TMI that I decided to take it down. Sorry. For the 2 of you who…
I made an art!
Remember how I was complaining about what a terrible artist I am? Well guess what? I made art! Thanks to Veronica and the crew for walking me through it with plenty of positive reinforcement (nobody asked you Klara), I feel quite accomplished for having created what will be a beloved Easter decoration for years to…
Where were you?
It’s funny because everyone has a story about 9/11. It was such a pivotal moment in American history it’s burned into our consciousness. We vividly remember where we were, what we were doing, how we felt. So when future generations ask “Where were you during the quarantine?” it’s going to be extremely disappointing for most…
