For when we can all bust out of quarantine?
I’ve had a lot of time to think as I’m sure we all have and I was just curious what you all want to do first.
1. Visit my parents. They are not local to me and I already hadn’t seen them for a month before we had to go into quarantine.
2. Visit my cousin. She had a baby in September. Even though she is only 45 minutes away we haven’t visited them since before the baby was born. Now I’m wishing we had made the time before this.
3. Get a massage. My mom got me a gift card for my birthday which was February 1. The first time I called they were booked on Saturdays for weeks because of Valentine’s Day. I can only go on Saturdays because h has to watch the kids. Then I called again end of February and got an appointment for Saturday March 21. Obviously that didn’t happen.
That’s all I’ve got for now. I’m sure I’ll come up with more.
Take my boys to the zoo, hang out with my mom, hold my baby nephew, go to happy hour with my work team (who are also my good friends), go to the library, take an Orangetheory class...I can’t stop at one! I miss a lot.

See my parents! They live 20 minutes away and just moved to a new place that I haven’t even been to yet. We have many plans for when we regain our freedom: walk to a nearby winery for lunch, beach trips, a dinner at a fancy local steakhouse, zoo trip, I’m sure I’ll think of more.
I’m basically planning enough end of quarantine celebrations to last for as long as our shelter in place will. My kids are going to be begging to stay home by the end. We have a whole family list ongoing titled “Things Coronavirus Ruined” of everything that’s been canceled so far so we can make up for all of it later.

Oh yes beach definitely. But we do that every summer since my parents have a house. Praying that we can be there over Memorial Day.
Have DS’ birthday party, which was supposed to be today. He says it’ll be in June so it can be a joint party with DH, as his birthday is in June. Let’s hope he’s correct!!

Fly to San Francisco with the kids to see my parents. I'm sad my kids haven't seen them since Superbowl weekend. We're used to seeing them every month.
1. Hug my mom. 2. See my friends. Have my DD see HER friends. 3. Go out to eat dinner. 4. Take a vacation. Anywhere. We all agreed last night the second this is over we will plan something. Even if it's just driving to a nice hotel with a pool.
I have more. I definitely want to hug a whole bunch of people, starting with my mom.
I think I will take a day of PTO and go places. A pedicure, an independent bookstore, a restaurant for lunch, and then random shopping at all the places I miss, starting with Target.
Send my kids to daycare/summer camp/whatever is open when things go back to normal, and sit quietly in my house by myself.
This.
My birthday is at the end of April and I asked my mom for a gift card to a local spa so I can get a series of facials. I’m very much looking forward to taking myself out to lunch and getting a 75 minute facial every other month.
Go to the park, zoo and beach with H & DS see all my friends and family hopefully be able to have my H at my delivery AND have him stay overnight to help
I have already told my boss when this is over the first day preschool is open again I am dropping off my kids and taking the day off and going to lunch/drinks with friends and getting a pedicure!

Have coffee with friends!
Get a massage since I have several credits built up and was supposed to have one on Friday
Actually go to church and hug my people there! I serve in an area where I see tons of people and I was scheduled to start back up this month after having taking 5 months off and this all happened. It's one of the biggest things I missed while I was on mat leave and not ready to send L to the nursery yet.
Aside from those things, my life doesn't look much different quarantined. We're pretty boring people lol.
Being about to workout with my friends again. For DD to continue PT/OT therapy To still be able to go on my 40th birthday trip in July. I am already considering rebooking for 2021.
Going out for my birthday dinner we missed this past weekend. I don't even care if we get a sitter or not, I just want my darn burrito and margarita!
I have tickets to a concert on June 12th that I'm hoping will still be on. I am going to a tiny venue with my sister in the city she lives in, so I am staying overnight with her after the concert and we have sister bonding time planned for Saturday before I head home. If the concert is cancelled I will be so sad!
We have plans to get together in July with my entire family to celebrate all the birthdays (me, my dad and sister are March and my mom and brother are July) that we didn't get to celebrate yet. DS and I were up visiting my parents on the 13th before this started really spreading through WI, but my H, as well as my sister and her husband weren't there, so I'm looking forward to us all being together. DS LOVES his grammy and puppa and has been asking for them almost daily, so I also can't wait for him to see them again!
ETA: we had planned to visit my grandma when we were there earlier this month and I decided against it (she has pulminary fibrosis) so I'm looking forward to seeing her. She wants a picture of the 4 generations-her, my dad (her son) myself and DS for her wall, so I'm excited to do that for her.
Definitely hug my parents, and my grandma, and witness the joy from them and from my kids when they are all reunited.
Meet my nephew (due 5/11), and niece (due 6/5) who will likely be born while we are distanced.
H and I were supposed to go away for 2 nights next week over spring break. We joke that as soon as we're all let out, we're preying on my parents' desire to be with the kids after their absences and skipping town. We'll see...
Visit my dad. His nursing home went on lockdown a while ago, so I haven't been able to visit. This has been the longest I've gone without seeing him since he's been sick. I hope he remembers me by the time we get to the other side of this. (dementia)
Go to the beach/park/zoo with my kids.
Date night with DH. With an overnight at a hotel & a nice dinner. My aunt is itching to see my kids, so I don't think getting a babysitter overnight will be too hard of a sell, lol
Girls day with my BFF. Hopefully on the first day of daycare/school/summer camp and I'll take the day off of work.
Move to my hometown, sell our TH and buy a SFH.... we were supposed to load up the uhaul and move this past weekend.
See my family (parents, sisters, BILs, nieces, nephews). I haven't seem any of them since the week before Christmas. April is usually when we all converge on my parents' house and see each other for a week after my parents get back from snow birding in Utah.

I do not want to touch anyone for a long time after this is over. No way. I do want a pedicure though and a day all alone where I don’t have to hear my name.
