STAY-SCHOOL ADVENTURES, Unraveling in Mud, Quarantine Day 18 from Cat Cutillo on Vimeo.
Today I left my kids in the backyard for an unsupervised 30 min. Their matching yellow rain suits have become their homeschool recess uniform now that we’ve hit mud season.
When I opened the door to check on them they were literally rolling in a mud swamp at the bottom of their slide laughing hysterically. Their yellow rain suits were now caked with mud. To top it off I had just bathed them.
I felt something in me unravel and my heart skipped a beat at the momentary shock of how dismantled everything was becoming. It was a Tuesday afternoon and all the rules of normal had been shredded and thrown into the air like confetti around me.
But instead of cleaning up the mess all I felt like doing was admiring the chaos. And unraveling further.
