Finally focused to get back to some serious work and this happens. It’s like they sense when I need to focus my attention on something else. I’m used to the constant interruptions but my new co-worker aka husband is not. I won’t lie I’m getting a bit of satisfaction seeing him realize how hard it truly is to work at home with kids. Although I’m used to it, throwing in homeschool has been different. Last week was a disaster but this week we are getting into our groove. If you are struggling, it gets easier if you are kind to yourself and give yourself a bit of grace. Let go of the guilt and do what works for you. It’s survival mode right now. There is no right way to do this pandemic life. #WAHM #StayAtHome #StayAtHomeChallenge #WorkAtHome #StayHome

Wait for the end! It brought me so much joy on a day where I started out in a funk! I cleaned the house like a mad woman and then slumped on the couch still in jammies at 3 pm. Chad told me to get my ass up because we were going outside to get some sun! I didn’t want to, but I’m glad I did. I would’ve missed out on Drew’s first solo drive! I also rode a real bike for the first time in years. Felt like I was a kid again. Life looks different now but it’s not all that bad. Hoping I wake up in a better mood tomorrow. What a rollercoaster of emotions.

We busted out TREX today and make a few stops to cheer up some friends! I wanted to visit more but it’s so hot today in Texas! I have a feeling we will be quarantined for awhile so TREX will visit many more friends in the next few weeks. It lifted my spirit and I hope it does others. I’m not great at a lot of things but I do know that laughter is the best medicine and I’m doing my part to help! What are you doing to spread joy in this not so joyful time in our lives?#quarantine #trex #trexlife #spreadjoy #staypositive #6feetaway #socialdistancing

Chili dog picnic on the trampoline and swimming in an inflatable pool. If you are wondering who is coming out on top during this it’s my kids and my dog! They are loving all of this extra attention. Knowing that makes this situation less bearable but I still get worried and have anxiety every day. The fear of the unknown is what keeps me awake. I must not lose hope! How are you holding up?
