March 17, 2020 | new | No Comments
I am “lucky” enough to work for a company that is allowing us to work from home during this madness, so I don’t have to worry about finances on top of everything else.
Here’s what my day looked like:
8:00am – Start work
8:30am – Littles wake up. They’re hungry. Didn’t I just feed them yesterday???
8:45am – “Mommy, are you done working yet?” “No, I just started.” “Oh. Ok.”
9:00am – “Can I watch TV?” “Sure, but be quiet while mommy’s working, ok?”
9:15am – “Are you done working NOW??” “Still no.” “Fine.” *storms off
10:00am – “I’m hungry.” (AGAIN?!?)
11:00am – “I’m bored.” *tells older child to read to the younger one
Noon – “I’m hungry.” (OMG!!!)
1:00pm – “I’m bored. Can I play on your laptop??” “Ugh. Here’s a video about giraffes. Learn something.” “OOOH I like giraffes!”
2:00pm – “Aren’t you done working yet??” “Still no.” *rolls eyes
3:00pm – “Can I watch you work?” “Sure, but I don’t know why… this is boring.”
3:05pm – “I’m bored.” “Told you so.”
3:10pm – “Can I use my play-doh?” “Only if your brother helps you get set up.”
3:12pm – “Bubba won’t help me.” “Well, then you need to find something else to do.”
3:13pm – “I don’t know what to do.” “Ugh. Here’s some educational worksheets I printed for you.” “Yay!!”
3:45pm – “I’m hungry”
Do you see why moms always look like they’ve escaped from a mental facility????
