I woke up pretty early today. I realized I didn’t write the letter form the elf. #OhSugar I know…I know…I got a lot going on. We have been trying to make this time as normal as possible. It isn’t the kids’ fault, so why should they suffer.
I get the letter typed out and print it. I texted the hubby to make sure he got it off the printer and put it with the elf. See, he moves the elf and I write the letter. Together, we gets it done. Well, I didn’t get a response and Thing 2 was starting to stir. Then, Thing 2 was up.
I raced downstairs to get the paper off the printer, but before I could even get downstairs I saw the elf never moved. #PISSED Now, I get it. We have a lot going on, but the gaming night owl had ample time to get Zylo (the elf) moved. Thing 2 noticed right away that Zylo didn’t move. This is the second time…the first time was the night Thing 1 tested positive.
Eventually, the hubby got Zylo moved on the sly. Thing 2 was like, hole up, hole up. hooooole up??? Where did Zylo go? She eventually found her, and read the new letter. She was tickled pink that she turned her head for one second and Zylo got away from her. #ThatWasClose #StillPissyThough
We spent a good amount of time on FaceTime with Nana today. Thing 1 needed a bit of time to wake up and return to her normal, silly self, but she eventually came around. We also spent time FaceTiming with Grandma. FTing was so much better today. Because we were each on our own device, the girls were forced to be still and truly engage in both conversations. We all got a chance to laugh and connect, and it was much needed. #GirlTime
The rest of the day was spent getting Things 1 and 2 in the shower, playing Roblox, and watching the season finale of The Masked Singer. We re-tested Thing 1, just to see if she would still be positive, and she was. The line was a bit more faint, and I took that as a sign that this virus is on its way out. It may mean nothing, but I’d like to think I’m right. #LookingForHisSignsEverywhere
I have just one more day of work for the year, and then I am off! Not, the company is off and I may still need to work off. No, I…AM…OFFFFFF! I have given far too much of my life to my work. I am going to enjoy this time off with my family, virtually and all!
Another day down…
