Day 133

So today started off rough. One of our children threw a very huge tantrum that last nearly all morning. Another refused to participate in their class. I had a bunch of zoom meetings and it was obvious from the commotion downstairs that it was going to be a rough day. It was a very rough day.

Late this morning I heard my wife and one of my kids yell out as if they were in fear. And low and behold this was crawling on the couch they were sitting in.

I also noticed a baby scorpion in a spiders web an hour later.


After my meetings finally ended, I tried to help but the kids were already gone. I put a movie on that they hated, but they still watched it. Who doesn’t love The Peanuts Gang? Seriously.

My wife, while I was trying to keep the kids upstairs, made Popeyes chicken from scratch. Complete with red beans and rice, which tasted even better than if we got them from Popeyes. We quickly put the kids to bed early because they were… challenging.


Just as I was about to go to bed, I checked my email and saw that my flights to the states next week were cancelled. I can’t stress enough, how much I need to be in town next week. This made me feel the cortisol running through my veins. Luckily I was able to find flights out and tomorrow morning I will he Ubering to the airport to guarantee I get the refund sent to my atm card. Please pray they don’t cancel the flights I just booked.
