Quarantine Confessions {4.27.2020}

The last round of confessions I did was last August, and we were all blissfully unaware of what was to come in just a few short months.  Today I’m sharing a new round of confessions since it’s been so long, and these are all from the quarantine era…

I confess…

… that out of the 45-ish days we’ve been quarantining, I probably didn’t brush Olivia’s hair about 20 of those days.  We finally have a routine, and I’m now brushing it almost every day.

… that during the first week of quarantine, I ate an entire box of Thin Mints all by myself.  Self-control went out the window during quarantine, apparently.

… that my roots are officially 2-3 inches long in some spots.  You know how I know?  I actually measured just for the sake of this post.  By the time we come out of quarantine, I’ll officially be a brunette again.

… that I’m SO SICK of cooking!

… that I have to do clothing checks before all Zoom meetings because our kids mostly just run around in underwear now.  I do make them both get dressed every morning for school, but once their Zoom meetings are over all bets are off.

… that for the first couple of weeks of quarantine, I’m pretty sure our kids didn’t brush their teeth in the morning.  We were all struggling (and failing) to find a routine and everything was just crazy.  I’m happy to say that they’re back on track with it now.  Most mornings.  I think.

… that I’m definitely reaching for the wine bottle more on weeknights than I used to.  We typically save the drinking for Friday – Sunday evenings, but we have definitely been popping the tops on random weeknights during quarantine.  I mean, why not?  It’s not like we have anywhere to drive.

… that I’m SO SICK OF COOKING!!

… that until about two weeks ago I didn’t even have the urge to organize.  Or work on projects.  Or get stuff done.  I was pretty much just living day-to-day for the first few weeks and not working on any projects or stuff that usually makes me happy.  I think my project mojo is back now, though (much to B’s dismay), so never fear.  I pressure-washed our driveway a couple of weeks ago and I just started revamping our laundry room and now I want to DO ALL THE THINGS!

… that I’ve been eating way more junk for lunch than I used to.  During “normal times” I typically eat very healthy lunches every day – avocado toast, salads, green smoothies, Greek yogurt with fruit, lean proteins and vegetables – but now that everyone’s home?  Grilled cheese sandwiches?  Yes please!  Mini pizzas?  Don’t mind if I do!  Chick-Fil-A?  You don’t have to twist my arm! 

… that I’ve made breakfast for dinner more times than I can count.  #NoShame

… that I’m SO SICK OF COOKING!!!!

… that my creativity for the blog has been sapped ever since we started quarantining.  The only creativity I have been able to muster these last six weeks is for my essential oils Instagram account.  Styling pretty pictures is the only thing I really feel like doing (and have time for) creatively right now.

… that I had a totally different post planned for tomorrow, but it was going to take too much time that I now don’t have (because – homeschool) so I scrapped it and here we are with this one.

… that I really miss going places, but I’m also worried that once we are finally allowed to go places again, that I might not want to because I’ll be conditioned to stay at home.  We’re all going to be shell-shocked when we finally get back to reality!

… have I mentioned that I’m so sick of cooking?!

Happy Monday, y’all!
