I Just Need Twenty Minutes

Published by

On the way to the grocery store, Zaya (5) was watching Bluey (season three, episode eleven) on our minivan DVD player. The episode was about Bluey’s mom Chilli needing a twenty-minute break.

Chilli says to her husband Bandit she needs “20 minutes when no one comes near me.”

I chuckled when I heard this line because, as a mom of six kids, it is very relatable. Bluey always has the best teachable moments for parents kids don’t you think? 😉

And as it turns out—today has been one of those crazy, busy days for us (Tuesdays usually are).

But the craziest part of our day? First thing in the morning, I found a squirrel in my basement! 😱🐿

It was just chilling in our basement looking at me while sitting on one of our storage shelves. We think the squirrel came in through the dryer vent.

So, yeah—I just need twenty minutes! 😫😂

Here are a few moments from today.
