CV-19 - Social Distancing 2020



Are you distancing?

We are distancing.

Here's a bit of an update.

The Boy and I are still living at my parents house. He is 3 and some change. He knows his alphabet. We tell complex stories. I'm seeing a wonderful man. He's an attorney in town. Currently we are all "social distancing". I'm working from home (as is most everyone these days) answering calls for an attorney answering service. Myles is at home full time, thanks to CV19. His dad and I pulled him early.

Let's see what else is happening in life. Boobs: Totally perfect. No issues. Twice in two months they flipped, one on each side. The first time I went to the doctor and they flipped the boob. The second time I did it myself. So easy. *Don't try this at home.

Currently, we are just living life. Our lifestyle just happens to correspond with CV19 and social distancing.

I'm teaching The Boy to write his ABC's and trying to balance working from 10-6 with spending time and taking care of a three year old boy. He's so dang smart, it's fairly easy. Well, some days.

I've been writing a lot, and maybe some of it will make it here. Maybe not. Depends on the copyrighting process.


Otherwise, I'm saving for a house. It's very slow going. And watching, along with the world, the rapid transformation of our society.

Recently I had a conversation with The Boy:



Mom: What's your favorite food?

The Boy: Chicken Nuggets (this is a lie. This child does NOT eat chicken nuggets for me anymore).

Mom: What do you want to be when you grow up?

The Boy: Marshall. (That is from Paw Patrol)

Mom: What's your favorite color?

The Boy: Red. (It was blue last time I asked.)

Mom:  Who is your friend at school?

The Boy: Sally Joe (She gave him a thank you card for her birthday gift and he said, "Awwwww.")

Mom: What makes you sad?

The Boy: Nothing.

Mom: How old is Mommy?

The Boy: I don't know.

Mom: What do you like to draw.

The Boy: A house.

Mom: What makes you laugh?

The Boy: Funny hair!

Mom: What's your favorite thing to do?

The Boy: Play!

Mom: Play with what?

The Boy: With my treehouse!

Mom: What are you really good at?

The Boy: Painting! (Uh... what?)

Mom: What's your favorite place to go?

The Boy: To the zoo!

Mom: What is something Mommy always says to you?

The Boy: She says, "no".

Mom: What is your favorite toy?

The Boy: My treehouse.

Mom: What's your favorite thing about bath time?

The Boy: Playing with bubbles!

Mom: What is your favorite book?

The Boy: Wocket in my Pocket.


He's so - well spoken for a three year old. He talks like a six year old, according to people who meet him. Raising him is the best part of my life.

Caregiving For A Parent

Mom was diagnosed with stage 4 acinar carcinoma pancreatic cancer a while ago. Acinar carcinoma only affects about 4% of the population with pancan. Even after treatment at Cancer Treatment Centers of America, they had only seen a few cases and even with treatment her tumor was growing. She had the whipple in 2019. Fast forward to today, she’s been living with me and my 8 year old son (The Boy) for about 2 years now and it’s been back and forth from Northern Alabama to Atlanta every other week. That stopped when they said the treatment wasn’t working.  They sent Mom home. She did great for a while, but she’s slowly getting weaker and weaker and after a fall last night we made the decision that she won’t be moving around the house anymore. Thank God for Southern Beacon hospice. We’ve got a wonderful nurse and everything we need so she can stay in the bed. Yall, she’s so tiny. I can see every ligament on her poor little body. This woman has had cancer like 4 times. She’s a damn troop...

Losing Mommy Hit Tonight

I had an emotional evening with everything going on with my Mom. I started crying and Myles grabbed my hand and said, “come with me.” He led me to Mom’s room and said, “She’s still here Mom. Go hug her.”  So I did. And cried, and loved on her. Myles said “hold on,” and went out to grab my phone. He said, “ you guys need a picture “. Y’all, it took me holding her and all her strength to sit up in bed.  Then Myles took the photo of me and my Mommy. When I started crying again he told me a joke to make us laugh.  He is wise beyond his years.  Mom, forgive me for posting the photo.

Beginning of the Tweens

The Boy has spent all 5 days with his dad. Thursday to Monday evening. Then he came home. He was so tired he didn’t want to talk.  So we ended up going to bed and reading Harry Potter (Prisoner of Azkaban). He wanted on the internet but no. I told him no. Eventually he fell asleep.  Today we woke up and he immediately asked if he could go to MawMaw and PawPaw’s. I said, “you don’t want to stay home and spend time with me?” He said: no I want to visit them.  Cue the first time my feelings have been really hurt by him. He asked for a hug. I’ve always told him I will always hug him.  I said, “I don’t want a hug right now because my feelings are hurt. But in a minute I’ll give you a hug.” We went into the living room and he was crying. I asked why. He said, “because you are mad at me and you think I hurt your feelings on purpose.” Well, I quickly set that straight. I told him I knew 100% that he didn’t hurt my feelings on purpose and I knew he never would. That I was abs...
