Social Distancing Diaries: Day 25

Dear Diary

Today can be categorized under “Days When Mom Lost It.” I’m an introvert. I recharge by being alone. Yes, I can go into my room and I might even get an hour to myself. But it’s not the same as Being Alone. Couple that with incessant demands and requests and responsibilities and well, it can get ugly. I apologized. The day ended well.

Do it.

I asked Eden what I should write about in my blog tonight. She said to mention that we finished the book we were reading together. Uh, can’t even remember the title but we finished it off tonight. She read aloud while I cut out more masks!

And she said to mention my button (pin). I had to put on my Button today. Ellen made it for me last year. It says, “Take a step back.” I say that a lot. People all up in my grill! Ellen and I were keeping a list of sayings that should be on buttons. “I know my Apple ID”  “Did you check the laundry?” What would you put on a button?

Update on the Fly Saga: Lily proudly killed her first fly Bare-Handed!  Am I a proud mama.? No, actually I’m grossed out. She wanted to show me the guts on her palm that proved her prowess but I refused to look as I ordered her to the bathroom to wash her hands. What else did people ask me to look at today: A dirty belly button and a zit. I refused vehemently. I pointed to my Button. They are persistent. Do you really begrudge me pining for that time alone??
