March 2020: “How much weight am I going to lose during lockdown?… I’ll whiten my teeth too… Maybe do some extreme organizing… Bye, bye office, hello sweatpants!”

April 2020: “Learn a dozen new apps to learn how to connect in new ways, why not? … Cancel son’s 5th birthday party and guilt purchase 1000 presents as a replacement, why not? … Pour another cosmo, why not?”

May 2020: “WHY is it snowing!? … WHY are you crying? … WHY am I crying!? … SOS!”

June 2020: “Video call in five? No problem… let me just give my kid a tablet and a pile of candy, lock my door, slap on some dark lipstick, throw on a cardigan and adjust my new blue light filtering glasses. Check on your mom friends, we are not okay.”

July 2020: “Time to venture outdoors to see real people! … why was that so exhausting?”

August 2020: “School is opening! … School is not opening!… School might open in some capacity… Sh*t, we are all F*cked!”

September 2020: “Dear baby Jesus, please let this warm weather stick around long enough for us to see our families safely outdoors a few more times. Why don’t my real clothes fit?”

October 2020: “Setup all the Fall activities with son’s friends… bonus if they have cool moms that can play too. Register to vote!”

November 2020: “Start a blog where you can talk about this stuff!”

Hugs, Caroline
