I couldn’t fall asleep last night - which seems to be a common thing these days - and so like a crazy person, I stayed up all night and ordered a ton of Halloween costumes. I also made mental notes of the ones I want to diy and paint, bc I know for certain we are NOT going trick or treatin’ or taking Grey out for that matter. We’ll probably just do something silly and have him treat or treat from every bedroom in our house, bc he’s definitely been practicing 😂
It really is so crazy to think about how much has changed in just a matter of months. I often think about how lonely my mom is, and how she used to spend SO MUCH TIME with Grey, and now all they’ve really got are facetime calls. We visit her but we only go as far as the porch, although Grey did run away from me once and ran straight into the house and into grandma’s arms. So sad. So sad that kids literally have no idea what is happening, they just know that they’re constantly being separated from the people they love. And my family is huge and we’re all super close and we LOVE the holidays. But no doubt the holidays will be different this year. As much as we all want to see each other and spend more time together, ultimately what we’re all trying to do is keep our mom safe. Literally we cannot and will not take any chances when it comes to mom.
The one upside to all of this is that I’ve 100% become a homebody. Me - the person who was always out, would drives hours just to try a new restaurant, always went away for the weekends, took Grey everywhere, trips practically every month, literally the person who bought her groceries daily instead of weekly. About 95% of me loves that I’m comfortable being home and enjoy being home now, while the other 5% of me is still screaming on a daily basis LOL.
