The Anniversary No One Saw Coming

What kind of cake do you get for your one-year anniversary of living in quarantine with your ex-husband?

Leaning toward the most calorie-filled cake ever — something that says, "yay, we did it," with a hint of this is why we are not married anymore.

I know what you are thinking.

Why in the world would you choose to live with your ex?

I appreciate my ex more than I ever did when we were married

I am assuming he would say the same, or else no cake for him!

Our marriage did not work. And that is absolutely OK. But we now have this amazing co-parenting relationship. He went from being an enemy to a friend. We are on the same team, because at the end of the day, the only team I want to be on is the one with my kids.

So now I am off to the bakery to request a "happy one-year anniversary of living with your ex" cake. I am sure they will think that’s totally normal, right?
