HKG121: Kenneled

today we were stuck in the apartment. all day. i am ready to climb the walls. i feel like i imagine our dogs feel when we kennel them. i don't do the "stay-at-home" part of being a stay-at-home parent very well. i get stir crazy. we were in lockdown today for two reasons: construction and illness. livie now also is sick, so she did not go to school today...her last day for this year. she was kinda sad, but kinda not. the construction took up a good chunk of the day, and unfortunately, the part it did not take up was ruined by a pretty heavy downpour. i had planned to get us out to buy teacher gifts that we will deliver tomorrow, but when the rain just never stopped, i decided not to get us out.

the entertainment for today was dry ice in the sink (from grocery delivery), putting livie's room back together and trying to destink it from the smell of sweaty smoker, and the beginnings of a fun art project where we will use sea shells we collected at the beach last weekend.

i am seriously hoping that tomorrow is better. typically, livie has a crazy good immune system and is sick for a fraction of the time the rest of us are sick. let's hope this holds true for this cold as well.

  1. "Kenneled"? LOL Love the description but am sorry you were stuck inside all day. :( Especially sorry that Livie is sick.

    I would've LOVED the dry ice show too! :D

    I'm SO far behind on your blog but wanted to let you know that I'm here. You will probably be seeing new comments from me from old posts! Sorry, but I MUST catch up. Some I've read but couldn't comment to before because of my arms not having the energy. :)
