HELLO Friends! I unexpectedly decided to take a break from blogging last week, each night as I thought I should sit down to write a post I decided to take time to read or watch a show with my husband instead. It felt good to have a little break but it also feels great to be back! On Friday I shared A Day in The Life of us on Instagram and it was really fun (hoping to put it together as a blog post this week), we kicked off the weekend pretty well videochatting playing games with some friends 🙂
Saturday was GLORIOUS! We spent a lot of time outside, cleaning up the yard a little and getting in some garage time. Plus walks with the dogs of course!
Sunday was more of a rest day, while it was warmer it was also quite windy! We played, walked, and rested up for the week.
I hope you are all doing as well as you can be! Last week was just very blah for me. While it feels nice to not have plans or have to be anywhere it is also hard to not be able to make future plans to look forward to, just feelings of uncertainly. Taking it day by day as things continue to change & unfold and trying to make the best of it. I certainly do not hate the extra family time, especially with Ro as he is growing & learning so much every single day right now, will be tough when we have to start transitioning back to work! More than anything I just miss family! My mom watched Ro every single Friday, it breaks my heart to know how difficult it is for her to not be with him every week right now and while I usually only saw her for an hour or so each Friday when she came to our house to be with Ro I so terribly miss that time too! Hopeful that we’ll be reuniting soon <3
I have a lot of blah too. I feel like it’s really hard not knowing what is going to happen, especially with summer plans.
Yes, the not knowing is so hard!
It’s totally okay to admit feeling ‘blah.’ I have felt that and then some. I think especially because we’re both Moms of young babes, we are missing out on some of the most fun days with them. I keep thinking of Summer and how devastating it will be to not take Ella to the beach, parks etc. We won’t get these days back, so that is hard.
I can’t wait till your Mom & Ro can reunite, and the rest of your family of course. There is a light at the end of this veryyyy long tunnel! Hang in there xo
Yes, not being able to take our babes out is the hardest! You’ve been doing a great job of still creating the fun for Ella at home too though 🙂 Can not wait to reunite with family!
Happy new week Rechelle… I was concerned that you were sick since you didn’t post last week. Relieved to find out you are doing fine, doing family care and had a great week/weekend. I’m missing personal contact w friends and family – texts and zoom can only satisfy so much. I’m on week 7 of shelter in place… supposed to expire next Sunday, but it’s still unknown here. I’d like to prepare myself If I need to return to work especially the 5am alarm clock! 😟. Enjoy your week…
Thank you for the concern Laurie. Yes, the texts & videos just aren’t the same! I want to hug my people lol!! Our stay at home orders were extended 2 weeks last Friday, which will make 10 weeks of us staying home. There needs to be a slow transition back to work too lol, I think it should be shortened weeks or something because it will be so hard to go back! 😉 We’ve been keeping a mostly similar routine at home because I knew it would be harder with Ro to get back in to a routine if we fell out of it too much. We’ve got nicer weather in the forecast this week so hoping that helps make things more enjoyable 🙂
Yup lots of blah here too but yeah for outdoor time! Praying it just keeps getting warmer because being outside definitely helps the mood
