Guys, did we just all forget to post our “first day of quarantine school” pics?!? I think this is a moment worthy of documenting. Even if (especially if?) this is not how you ever thought school would look. Snap some photos of your unexpected online school day and tag it #firstdayofquarantineschool. Even if it’s your 11th. (Does anyone actually know what day it is anymore anyway?) We’re all in this together.
My girls have been doing my friend @timree‘s online painting class. It’s totally reasonable and the finished results are so cute!
We could all use some levity right now. My friend @JenHatmaker and I will be doing a coffee chat on Monday. What should we talk about?? Besides the obvious questions like “how did you get so good at hat modeling?” Join us March 30th 10am PST on @theriveterco. Check my stories for the RSVP link! https://mailchi.mp/beaba3691e11/cl6fajt7mx
My body’s superpower: ready to create psychosomatic symptoms at a moment’s notice.
Online learning vibe fail. #assholeparent
4 of 4 kids mad at me for making us go to the beach for a picnic dinner. Whatevs. We needed a change of scenery. #onedaycv #assholeparent
I know there have been many resources circulated on how to keep kids occupied, but moms need structure, too! Today, I’m sharing a sample schedule from my own life that I’ve been following for the past week. Hope it helps!
10am wake up, check on children who have already watched 3 hours of tv, eat a handful of pretzels and a chocolate bar from your emergency supply cabinet for breakfast
10:15am peruse twitter and facebook, argue with that one friend who refuses to stay home
11am google new cases of COVID-19 in your town
11:30am yell at children from your bedroom to ask if they are doing their schoolwork, go back to Twitter
12pm eat ice cream and chips and salsa for lunch, direct the children to the hot dogs and the microwave
12:30pm do a google deep-dive of a specific symptom of COVID-19 (your choice!) 1pm lay on bed and cry
1:30pm check Instagram, regram some motivational posts about social distancing
2pm break up fighting children
2:30 delete 127 emails from companies telling you how they are handling the COVID-19 crisis
3pm cry in the shower
3:30 sit on the edge of bed in a towel and stare at the wall
4pm put on a new set of pajamas because you have nowhere to go
4:30pm mid-afternoon snack
5pm stress-shop things you don’t need from Target online
5:30pm scramble to figure out a meal you can cobble together with your dwindling groceries
6pm sit down to yet another dinner surrounded by the people who’ve been all up in your space the entire day
7pm let the kids watch a movie that is probably inappropriate
9pm yell at the children to go to bed
9:30pm commence bad reality tv
11:30 go to bed
11:35pm do one final check on every social media and news platform for any new info about your impending death
1am finally fall asleep
