Long Time No See

Hellooooooo….

Anyone out there???

I feel like Rose in that horrific scene of Titanic, when she is laying on the board in the middle of the ocean (that clearly was big enough for her and Leo to share but she was too selfish to allow that, and let him die…) but that’s a conversation for another time… anyway, she grabs some other dude’s whistle to let the rescue people know she is alive. Like, I’m here! I’m here!

Anyway.

Just checking in to make sure everyone’s doing all right now that the world is officially coming to an end. Thought I would go ahead a dump the last vacation (aka meeting) pics up from a few weeks back, just to let y’all know that we are alive & well over here and that “Rona” has not got us… yet. We are social distancing as I’m sure most of you are, and we are going on day 8. So far it’s been quite normal for us especially since the weather here has been absolutely beautiful!! Not much of our time has been spent inside, luckily. Bennett had spring break last week and was supposed to start back at school tomorrow- so tomorrow will be my first day as a PreK4 teacher…. Lord, keep me sane. His teacher has sent me all of the workbooks, and eLearning info, all I have to do is implement…

ummm…. ok.

I’ll keep y’all updated on that nonsense. But in the mean time, here are the pics from California. We went for Husband’s meeting in Laguna, decided to take the kids and a nanny, and after the meeting was over we scooted down to Del Mar and took the kids to the San Diego Zoo, which is my favorite. The trip did have a looming cloud over it knowing that things were changing rapidly with this virus, just felt a little off… but the kids really have no idea what is going on, we have kept them pretty sheltered so far. I don’t turn on the news hardly at all anymore- too depressing and slightly annoying- so, I decided to take a different approach and control what I know I can, and that’s my household. I’ll start updating the blog with things that we are doing- school and fun activities- and hopefully inspire some of my readers to let go of what they cannot control. We need to take back our lives by enjoying the present moment even if it’s not the way we had thought it would be in these unprecedented times. Stop obsessing over the numbers and ridiculously wrong/ lagging data they plaster all over the media, and enjoy this special time with your family. Is it an inconvenience in our lives- yes, absolutely. But we can do our best to try to make this tolerable. And for the LOVE OF GOD!!! STOP PREACHING TO EVERYONE ELSE ON SOCIAL MEDIA!!! Everyone has already heard the #flattenthecurve motto- so just stop. FYI: Your manic energy is not going to control people. They will live how they want until they are forced to do something different. That’s just my two cents- off my soap box now.

For now- enjoy these cute pics of my babes and pretty scenery.
