Quarantine Log Day Five

We went to Disney World today! It’s been a dream of ours since, well, the small child told us it was. But, alas, airline tickets are always over priced, and I don’t do crowds. So today, with all of us in quarantine, we finally went…

Okay, we watched some videos on YouTube and pretended. You can find those here: https://www.romper.com/p/while-disney-world-disneyland-are-closed-take-your-kids-on-virtual-rides-22622893

One of the best things to come out of this quarantine period is the plethora of digital outreach! We went to the zoo in Cincinnati this week, Disney World in Florida (California? I don’t know… I don’t keep track), and we listened to a friend of mine read stories in her living room. Also, via YouTube so we don’t share germs. Sharing is definitely not caring in all cases!

Oldest is pretty sick today, the fever is gone, but so is everything in her stomach. Ew. Good thing we bought barf bags last road trip…

Smallest is just gross today. You don’t want to know. Girls are gross.

Small child and I watched a great movie on Amazon today, Troop Zero. Wow. In this world of chaos, we needed a kid named Christmas, and a kid named Hell-no to warm our hearts!!

I finished a book today – Where the Crawdads Sing. Oh goodness. I don’t like books with too much hype. They disappoint me. This did not. If you need a beautiful, human story, please read this book!

But not from your local library. They’re closed.

Libby and Overdrive are excellent solutions for free ebooks and audiobooks from your local library though, because librarians are superheroes.

Seriously.

It’s beautiful today.

Not a lot of humor today, but definitely gratitude.

I’m tired.

But our kitchen is full, it’s a gorgeous day, and my husband is sleeping…

Go figure.

Oh, I also ate Nutter Butter cookies. Heehee…..

We are surviving this, and we are rocking it!

Though on payday, I’m risking the otherwise germy restaurant industry and ordering delivery. Living on the wild side!😉

Sweet ending to a beautiful day, though … In my banishment from the basement, I’ve been completely displaced from all things “mine.” My bed, my clothes, my couch, my TV, my snoring husband… So I’ve been sleeping with small child. She’s tiny. But fierce. Last night, she woke in her sleep concerned about something on the dog and started picking at my side before she woke up and giggled, then went back to sleep.

So tonight, I was fully prepared to relocate to the couch.

Pillows stocked, living room cleaned up, just missing a blanket, then she climbed up.

Why are you here, child? Why?

I just want to sleep wherever you are, Mama.

Dagnabit… I’m sleeping in her bed again. Weird dreams and all.

I hope she isn’t hungry in her sleep…

End transmission.
