6 Months Later...

There hasn't been a lot going on in my kitchen these last few weeks.  Nothing new anyway amid this very challenging time in our country's--humanity's--history.  That's right...coronavirus/COVID-19.  Our family began social distancing sometime in late-February.  D began keeping up with the worldwide news of coronavirus and predicted/anticipated our (the US) situation with closed schools and businesses shutting about 2-3 weeks before it actually happened.  Personally, I have been an emotional wreck for a couple weeks, but mostly since the schools closed.  Normally, I'd be out shopping or making play dates with mama friends, but instead, I stay in the house and try to talk myself out of being freaked out.  It hasn't worked.  I decided last night to turn OFF Facebook on my phone so I can't see posts or information about the virus unless I go searching for it.  My emotional well-being needs the break, and I need to practice infusing JOY into my daily activities.

I look out the window and see neighborhood kids outside riding bikes together. 

[And in true mama fashion, my train of thought has been interrupted by my 2yo who just told me needs a poopy diaper changed.  so maybe I'll make it back to finish this post...  sometime.]
