Summer Fever – 19 - a podcast by Ellen and Bonnie

Remember when spring meant a million end-of-the-year school events, figuring out who would watch the kids for the summer, and a frantic dash to get their summer activities selected, booked, and organized? We used to complain about the headache of it all but now we'd give our right arms—both of 'em—to be facing the summer schedule gauntlet again.

Instead, the Washington state lockdown continues. This week, Washington's governor announced that public schools will remain closed for the rest of the year (cue Alice Cooper's "School's Out for Summer"). And parents everywhere are muttering to themselves, "I shouldn't have had kids..."

Who knows where we'll be come June, but while we wait and wonder, stay right here with us. We'll keep you company with ridiculous stories of our parenting, eye-rolling antics of older kids adulting, and Shy Guy's search for any kind of normality as he comes of age alongside Covid–19. 

All we can say is, what the actual fuck?
