Good morning, everyone!

What did everyone do for Easter? Such a strange year. We did an easter egg hunt for our 2.5 year old both inside and outside. We also tried to dye easter eggs but it was a disaster. I dont know if it's just my kid but he would not stop trying to grab the cups of dye and rip the eggs out and we finally gave up. I made ham, cheesy potatoes, green beans, and cranberry for dinner. Normally we see both sets of grandparents on Easter.

Heres to another crazy week in isolation!

    We cooked an Easter brunch and video called my mom while we ate. Pictures of our table in spoiler 😊

    Other than giving our little guy a basket when he woke up we didn’t really do anything Easter like. I just wasn’t into I guess. We ordered a ham from Instacart but the order didn’t come until today so I made a pork roast instead.

    @mimser that looks delicious!

    @windywoman it's hard to feel into things these days. I'm sorry your ham didn't come in time! Pot roast is delicious too though. Did you make gravy with it? I can only eat pot roast with gravy.

    @dumbledoredies I did a pork roast. I did a an apple mustard glaze on it and it was delicious. 

    I have been crazy pot roast and gravy (Actually anything covered in gravy!) and I thought we had a roast in our downstairs freezer but we don't :(

    @mimser that looks good! And the chocolate bunny’s laughing made it for me! Haha. 

    We just had the Easter Bunny drop off a basket for DD. Didn’t do much else. Made pancakes for brunch and ordered Chinese for dinner. I am completely unmotivated to cook with morning sickness and plus I can’t go out and shop for myself for the past 3 weeks because DD was sick then as soon as she was on the mend MH got very sick and now I have l a cough. We have been in complete isolation for a long time despite DD’s Covid test coming back negative.

    We had baskets and an egg hunt (inside because we had bad weather) and that’s about it. Skyped the grandparents. Easter isn’t really a holiday that I get particularly into anyway.

    @krystrist2014 I hope you guys feel better! I haven't been into a store in 5 weeks. It's so tough. I've been doing grocery pickup and then MH is running into a store really quick to get what we weren't able to get through pickup. Apparently this week pickup is 2 days behind though so that should be interesting.

    @dumbledoredies thanks! Ugh, yes pick up and delivery times seem so hard to come by!  We have been doing grocery delivery and it started out okay but I am obsessive about picking my produce and having someone else picking for me is making me so upset! A couple of days ago I did an order and a) there was no watermelon - not the shoppers fault but it was the one thing I was craving intensely! b) the second thing I was craving most was honey crisp apples - I am very picky when it comes to apples. What I received was pink lady apples. 😒 c) I asked for a bag of russet potatoes instead I received a bag of red potatoes. My hormonal ass sobbed while putting the groceries away. 😭

    @krystrist2014 I got unreasonably sad when my grocery order didn’t have any bagels or sun chips  the other day 😢.

    @surlyjaneausten I feel ya, girl. I remember being emotional over not getting food I wanted during my first pregnancy, but I really think the stress of this pandemic adds a whole new layer of stress and disappointment. 🙁

    @krystrist2014 ugh I get the frustration! Grocery workers are working their butts off so I try to not let it all bug me. I laughed because the one week I asked for a container of spinach to use in smoothies they didn't have spinach and they gave me a container of spring mix. Yuck! I couldn't put that in my smoothie.

    I really wanted some tostitos queso cheese last week (apparently its okay during pregnancy because it's basically not food) and they didn't have it. So MH grabbed fritos mild cheese. Sigh. Atleast he tried.

    @dumbledoredies ew, yeah, spring mix can’t be substituted in that context! Lol. I am with you though - I still tip well because I know everyone is doing their best right now and now is not the time to be pissed over little things.
