We are all in this together and our heroes on the frontlines need our support now more than ever. If you have extra N95 masks that you would be willing to share, please reach out to your friends/family in healthcare or to your local ERs to see if you can donate them. Frontline staff are working with limited supplies or sub-par equipment in many places. These are essential things our hospital personnel need to keep them safe. You may have heard people talking about PPE (personal-protective-equipment) and/or N95 masks. All over the U.S., hospitals are running low, or even out, of protective equipment. The ER- wife in me worries my husband will feel the burden of this battle in a way I can’t relate to any more now that I stay home with our children. Perhaps they will begin to not adhere to them as need be. And I fear that people may begin to feel like the shelter-in-place and social distancing precautions are an over-reaction. Many parts of our country have not been hit as hard as they inevitably will be. The ER- nurse in me worries people are not taking the necessary precautions to help flatten the curve of this virus. And in turn, the weight that these collective daily sacrifices carry over on to their families (ours included). Every single day – physically, mentally, and emotionally. I worry about the stress of such a huge weight that all of our healthcare providers are carrying through this crisis. Yet I still worry about him getting sick, or any of us getting sick for that matter. He takes every possible precaution to keep himself and our family safe. But true.I worry about my husband who leaves for work every day in his scrubs (and his invisible super-hero cape) to head into battle in the frontlines of the ER.
#Life as we know it movie
Still, I’m betting I’ll forget I saw this movie entirely by next summer. I’m a big crier at movies, and the only thing that elicited any emotion from me was the baby, because the one thing they did right was to pick triplets that will melt you heart with a smile. Sometimes that works out just fine, but in this case, the characters were so benign I didn’t care about either of them. The problem is that I knew from the start exactly what would happen with Holly and Messer, and exactly how the movie would end, despite the writers’ best efforts to distract me with a “twist”, Josh Lucas, and adorable baby antics. It HAS to work!īut the problem here isn’t really the inconsistencies or that I didn’t buy all of the neighbors being total stereotypes (big, sassy lady who LOVES food and bosses her husband around, hilarious gay couple, nerdy babysitter)-or even that Messer is supposedly so hot every single person who sees him wants to have sex with him ASAP. Never mind the fact that “saving money” goes completely against everything else we know about Messer, just throw it in there.

What? Weren’t they both just sitting around saying how broke they BOTH are? Messer didn’t have money to help with the house, but now that it’s for YOU, cool. I know the Director and Writers were probably going for realism, but you can’t have the two main characters complain about money problems off-handedly and then make a major plot point around Messer loaning Holly money to expand her bakery. Months of montages go by while they find their balance, creating an awkward family dynamic that eventually ends up with discovered “feelings”, but it all comes off as completely unbelievable. And then, my friends, hilarity ensues –but you’ve also seen all of that in the preview. Actually, you don’t need to guess, as that part is all in the preview.Īfter brief deliberation, they determine that keeping little Sophie and raising her together is the best option, since all of the friends’ family members are completely incompetent (guy w/oxygen tank, couple with 9 kids, a touring stripper!).

So get this, Katherine Heigl (as Holly) and Josh Duhamel (as Messer) play polar opposites who hate each other but get stuck raising their best friends’ baby together after a car accident and then GUESS WHAT HAPPENS. Yet another effort to turn out a money-making romantic comedy (psst – hey guys? There will never be another When Harry Met Sally), Life As We Know It should be re-titled “Life As We Know It if Everyone Looked Perfect and Had Amazing Houses and Jobs”.
