#StayAtHome hour one:

The six year old has had his fingers in his nose and/or mouth all morning.

He’s also wasting food frequently.

Six year olds suck at this. I need to make it a game somehow.
#StayTheFHome hour two:

6 yr old is preparing Leprechaun traps for tomorrow. There are diagrams first, then application, then trial and error. And let’s just say, he’s been inspired...
Mama Bear drew this yesterday. Now he wants to enact it. Smdh. Image
Day Two.

Called the 3 yr old a butthead this morning.

Wife: it’s day TWO! You can’t call him mean names until WEEK two!

Me: you’re lucky I didn’t cal him an asshole. THAT is a week two name!
They’re hunting Leprechauns on this lovely #StPatricksDay while we #StayHome ☘️

The big one ALWAYS makes the little one open doors and “go first.” Proper delegation of authority if you ask me! Image
Hours later: the most beautiful thing I’ve ever made.

The boys are cute. This was better. #stayhomechallenge on #StPatricksDay Image
Hit the pharmacy drive thru for little man’s medicine. Then drive thru at @Wendys for lunch. Nice being out for a bit.

Side note. Hey, Sun... it’s ok to come out and rid us of these damn gray skies. Goodness the grays 😕
Later that night:

Big one is making his own board game. Lord help me.

Little one... he’s ready for war. He may or may not have killed Blue. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Image
For real. Wtf kind of board game is this??? And he’s gonna be pissed when I don’t understand 😂 Image

Three hour zoom PD. Wife is out of the house at work.

3yo fell down steps. Both kids hitting. A few nerf shots were fired at a non-willing combatant.

Somehow managed to add to the conversation & take 3 pages of notes.

This setup is untenable for the long haul. #LessIsMore
Two loads of laundry. Made lunches. Cleaned the kitchen. And three more zoom hours upcoming.

Kids have been in front of tv all day.

It’s fine. This won’t lead to multiple melt downs. It’s all good.
btw, THIS is why parents are demanding in class school to resume. (Well, not all, but many/most.)

Trust me. This ain’t the life. I want normalcy again too. But it ain’t about kids falling behind. Believe that.

Doing yard work.

I’ve seen the mailman’s truck breakdown and struggle to start 2-3x so far.

I hollered, “damn man, Trump won’t even give y’all gas?”

He laughed and shook his head.
Some of this is true. Some of it is not true.

It’d be funnier if it was all true.
Oh man. He’s still stuck. This part is very true lol

A tale of two #Ohio senators reacting to Trump bashing Goodyear.

See if you can guess who is who. It’s gonna be tough, but you can do it!

1) actively pushing back
2) pretending it didn’t happen.

PS Don’t you LOVE when the president seeks to harm an American business? ImageImage
I know what you’re thinking.

Democratic senator pushing back. GOP senator ignoring it. Hyper partisanship. Yada yada yada.

But look...

You’re right. That’s exactly what it is.

@SenSherrodBrown advocates for his constituents while @senrobportman will say he missed it.
It’s almost as if I should be surprised??? 😮 ImageImage

When I woke up, I didn’t think this was going to happen. And yet, here we are... Image
And it just so happened to be my best! #RecordSmashed Image
It’s funny how the first time you do something, ever, it’s a new record. I’ll take it though.

Also, I need you younger folks in your early 30s and younger to realize that your joints are going to be shot way earlier than you think. #OuchAnklesAndKnees

1) mommy stuck her hand in the pee-filled toilet, of course!

I ran downstairs to find gloves or a bag. I’m not sticking my hand in that fiasco - disgusting!

“You probably have pee on your hands every time you go to the bathroom,” she said.

Wtf does she think I do in there?
2) “oh no, I’m going to die,” was Patrick’s words.

How was this particular event going to be his demise? Idk. Somehow toothpaste in the toilet is a killer tho? Kids are weird.

I accidentally dropped the kids’ toothpaste in the pee filled toilet - bc the 6yo didn’t flush and left the lid up.

1) who stuck their hand in the pee-filled toilet to fish it out without waiting for a bag or glove?
2) Who screamed “Oh no, I’m going to die!” after seeing the toothpaste in the pee-filled toilet?
3) Who was terrified to get anywhere near the pee-filled toilet?
