Not sure about all of you but I am feeling like I have legit gone crazy. Early this morning I was hiking with my dogs and having a full conversation with Lefty. Lefty, is my very old completely blind dog that is slow as heck on our hikes. But as slow as he is I carry on a full conversation with him so he doesn't get lost. Sad to admit I have lost the poor pup a few times. Pretty sure he would need a therapist if he could communicate back after listening to my nonsense all these years.
This whole social distancing, stay at home thing we have going on at first felt like a blessing in disguise. I was not running the kids around like a maniac living a hectic life that we typically do during the spring season. We have caught up on projects inside our home, organized everything possible and certainly exercised more than normal. Today we started tackling some outdoor projects that hopefully we can complete with the warmer weather. I have had moments where I dream about blowing up video games or launching my kids airpods far into the woods because I am asking them questions and they are not even hearing me. Family time has taken on a new meeting and well we are honestly sick of each other. I have totally allowed my kids to say things to me that probably no other Mother does but shit this is all nuts. Actually, even today Molly was screaming at me to start supper while I was digging up an overgrown shrub outside. She was full out yelling and I kept digging along as if she wasn't even there. I mean if they choose to sleep in and have breakfast at 1:00pm then skip lunch it's not my duty to make them dinner at 5:00pm? Old people eat that early for godsakes! Funny part was there was a couple walking by that neither of us noticed who witnessed our battle, whoops that was an ear full. Shane called us both dummies and laughed as he headed inside. For real though, who am I to judge what anybody is saying or doing right now including my kids?
Our world as we thought we knew it has completely changed. I truly feel that 2020 is shot, it's going to be a year of challenge and uncertainty and I don't care who you are nobody knows anything. I mean I ran into our local grocery store today and had my temperature taken and while that was happening I was holding my breath. I feel like all the times my brothers held me underwater in our pool has helped my breath holding skills. Who knew they were preparing me for a pandemic?! Like my brother said to me earlier we will probably never hear anyone say again "that will never happen" because it can and it will.
This week I am really missing my fricken friends and interaction with other adults. It has definitely been more of a sad week than normal and I am a glass half full kinda girl. My nights consist of finding someone live on Facebook singing acoustic music and internet shopping. Which then leads me to making a list for a new project I think I should tackle. As a single woman I even miss the weird guys that strike up conversation with me. Heck I would probably say yes to a date with someone just for shits and giggles to get out of this house. I can't even imagine what it will be like when we are all let free. I wonder who will let loose and go crazy verse stay at home some more due to paranoia? As for me I want to go on a real vacation as soon as physically possible. It will be somewhere secluded and hot as hell. I want to lay on a beach, sleep past 5am and have a hot guy deliver me fancy drinks with umbrella straws. For years I have put off vacations for work and said no to fun trips and for what? I am going to resort back to a time where I was more out-going and start saying YES! I think we should chuck responsibilities right out the window and party for weeks. Shit lets re-create Woodstock! Well there we have it, my new mission is born.
Put aside the candy Easter Bunny and bring us some drinks already.
