Today my beautiful mother turned some age between 68 and 70. I won’t tell you more! She and Dad were supposed to be here with us right now, so that they’re not really blows. But, we FaceTimed and sent presents which arrived today (go, USPS), and I’m giving her a huge shoutout here because she is really awesome and has great joie de vivre and is a wonderful friend, cusser, partier, mom, and grandmother, in no particular order.

Today was the same as pretty much all other days: distance learning, corralling the kids, feeding the kids, nagging Oliver, and running yet another load through the dishwasher. Jack mowed three lawns (that kid is really doing well during this quarantine), Ol made it through another full day in pajamas, and I put down another few bags of mulch. I LOVE mulch.
