How are you? Yesterday felt like it was played out in slow motion. I wasn’t really down, but it felt like I was spinning my wheels. Low grade anxiousness?? There are projects that I’ve wanted to complete for months. However, they are the type of projects that need momentum. Instead, Henry and I changed light bulbs. I established a 9am start time for the large teen in our house. He didn’t rise out of bed until 11:45am. Nothing is normal inside our home because nothing is normal outside our home. Around 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon, I went for a REALLY long walk. Listened to podcasts and came home to cook dinner. We argued at the dinner table (thank you teen boys) and then we played a rousing game of Exploding Kittens. It just is! How are you? Is there any bright side to this? Can we find it?

IDEA: Mo Willems the author of Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus and Elephant and Piggie books, is hosting Lunch Doodles every day at 1:00pm ET. The videos will also be available to stream after each session. I love Pigeon! This is a great thing.
LINK: This article about a photographer taking photos of her parents waving goodbye made me smile. We should all take less selfies and more pictures that will matter to us!

Thank you Denise! Love reading everything you’re going thru as a mom during coronavirus and this strange and unsettling time. Keller’s start 2 week quarantine and school schedule adjustment tomorrow. No symptoms but it’s time to isolate and get a structure that works for us.
The great debate for us anxiety riddled adults, “drinks or walkies?”
Love and health,
