Is it week 1? Maybe 2? I’m not even sure at this point. Trip went back to sea so we were sort of hanging close to home anyways. Then it was Spring Break when we had to start practicing social distancing AND it rained every single day. So, I think this was our first official week in quarantine, but we’ve been home for days (and days and days). All I want to do is go somewhere, anywhere really, but I’m also in a sheltered little bubble here. And that’s nice too.
Landon hasn’t started online school yet. We’ve been doing a little ABC Mouse and practicing our sight words. Other than that, it’s been lots of playing (mixed in with a decent amount of fighting).
My focus this week has been potty training Rhett. It was actually the perfect week, because I forgot how much of a time-suck potty training is. We spent most of the week hanging out in the bathroom and then running to the fridge to get “chips” (M&Ms) after a job well done.
Our “highlight” of the week was getting a Tsunami Watch alert. That will make you stop in your tracks! I was cooking dinner for the boys when I got the message. Luckily, other wives from the boat jumped into action to rally the troops because what do you even do in a tsunami during a pandemic?! I checked our evacuation zone - we are just outside of the main one, but the only way to leave our neighborhood by car is to go into the evacuation zone and cross a bridge that is next to the ocean (so clearly in the evacuation zone). By the time I had set up a plan with a few different ladies (all with husbands at sea), we got the “all clear”. That was a stressful 45 minutes to say the least!
We have another wet weekend ahead of us (what the heck, Hawaii?) so we will have to get creative.
We are holding up pretty well, but I’m tired and ready for life to go back to normal.
