Coronavirus Log: Day 6
By Laura Behrens
7:39 AM. The natives are up and in full swing of being LOUD!! Breakfast begins.
9:23 AM. “I’m bored” and “there is nothing to do” begin to cry from the mouths of the children. The natives are restless.
10:45 AM. A large crash comes from the kitchen. Child #5 (18 mos) has gotten into Child #4’s beyblades. If you don’t know what a beyblade is, consider it the evil sister of a lego. Biggest difference is beyblades are 1 to 2 inch metal death traps I rush into the kitchen and step on a minimum of 6 said death traps before I see where the incident happened. Every….. single….. beyblade now spready in a 200 square foot area. Child #5 just laughs. We may need to watch his dark sense of humor.
11:30 AM Beyblades are picked up and the house looks decent.
12:15 PM. FOUND ANOTHER BEYBLADE!!! UNDER MY FOOT!!!
1:01 PM. The makeup is out. I repeat…. the makeup is out!!
1:46 PM. My girls prance out in fashion show form. They look like (pardon the language) street harlots who got their makeup done at Dollar General. Child #4 walks in mid-show, turns around and walks away. Smart choice son.
2:50 PM. 5 clothing changes and minor makeup changes later, the fashion show is complete. I’m going to need more than makeup removers to get this off.
3:15 PM. Another $%@##!@@&! Beyblade!!!!
3:40 PM. Its official! We have set a new record for time-outs per child!!! Another trophy for the Behrens household. Man, I am so proud of these kids!
5:12 PM. Trying a new game. Uno DARE! It’s the Cornovirus nightmare!!! Also if you are a germophobe (me), this is not ok!!! One of the Dares was to hold your cards in your ARMPIT until your next turn. Another was to hold them between your feet….. yes, feet!!! I just can’t.
5:45 PM. During the tail end of dinner, Child #1 managed to fall out of her chair. Don’t ask how. But very loudly landed on the floor. Child #4 runs in the kitchen to inform us his floor shook. “Is that what an earthquake feels like?” Child #1 chases child #4 and… oh look…. WWE again in my playroom!
6:15 PM. Rented our first “still in the movies movie”. They are quiet!!!! This is what life is about!! Watching a movie, in my pajamas, no bra ( sorry but true), no shoes, feet up, bathroom breaks where you can still lean forward and not miss a minute…. this is the life!
7:50 PM. 3 fell asleep before the movie is over. 48 hour rental!! We can waste another 2 hours tomorrow!! Mom for the win!!
