6:30 AM. Woke up with 2 very hungry kids at the side of my bed. After working on the bathroom for most of the day yesterday, I had to be rolled out of bed. Getting old is for the birds.
7:45 AM. Truly feel like I am starting to lose my mind and now my body is going. I walked into the kitchen and my legs cramp, my back seizes up, and I make a little yelp noise. Child #4 screams “moms down”!!!! For the record, I wasn’t down, just holding onto the counter, tight… in a slumped over kind of way. Child #1 “are you ok mom”? Me. I’m good, just give me a min. Child#1 “I told you Mom was old, she can’t stand anymore”! If I could move…..
8:48 AM. Getting ready to go see my Mom. Put on a pair of pants… took off that pair of pants. They shrunk. Put on another pair of pants. They shrunk too, just not as bad. Did a few classic jean stretch moves and can now walk in them.
11AM -3 PM Spent time with my Mommy!!! (I don’t care if I’m well into my 40’s, I will call her Mommy till I die)
3:15 PM. O…..M….. child #2 looked at child #4 and it was a funny look!! At least they chased each other outside.
4:25 PM Thank the Lord we know our neighbors well… we all sound like fools. Being nice, the windows are open and our life is now public! Child #4 telling child #1 to mind her own business, child #3 and child #2 yelling at each other about some stupid show on Netflix. child #2 “I can understand Spanish, so I know what they are saying”. Child #3 ” no you don’t, stop your being a bully”… Lord help us through this Shelter-in-place!!
7:05 PM. After some showings I’m home to tuck my babes in.
Night!
