Captain’s Log: Day 3, Social Distancing

No one seems to be wearing pants anymore. One is in the hot tub at 8:30 am and is starting to resemble a Frat Boy. One is eating chocolate doughnuts. One is carrying a plunger around and hitting anyone who he comes in contact with.

The remotes are missing. Every device is on max volume. Which is almost as annoying as my husband screaming, ‘turn it down, for the love of @#$’, every 30 seconds.

The three little ones are always hungry. Always. But seem to hate every food I offer them and pick foods that we don’t have to scream for. They also can’t seem to finish any food either. Which infuriates the Dad. He is currently yelling about cereal.

Every cup in the house is dirty. There are wrappers in the couch cushions and fruit loops on the floor.

I am hiding in my office. A couch has been pushed into the dining room to block the hallway to said office so I can actually work. I hear screaming out there. I refuse to look until I finish this cup of coffee.

As the middle little says, ‘this doesn’t feel fun anymore.’

God speed from Minnesota.

How is everyone else faring?
