klw I hope your day isnāt too rough. I woke up not feeling 100%. Hopefully itās just the fact that itās Monday morning This weekend was so busy, Iām looking forward to a three day weekend and hoping I can catch up. I just have to last these next 5 days!

I hope Iām not getting sick. I feel like I am fighting something off. L had a bit of a cough this morning, but seemed fine otherwise. Praying neither of us get sick!

Z has a cold. No fever and he is acting fine, but his lungs don't sound great so we'll see what happens. Hopefully his inhalers are enough.
J was bouncing off the freaking walls this morning. I didn't sleep very well thinking about the logistics of getting him into preschool. I'm reasonably sure he is going to qualify for sped and he could start as soon as next month, but their wrap around care spots are full so I would have to figure out child care. We would be able to start him in the fall instead with child care, but I feel like sooner would be better. I don't know.

So my H just got back from an overseas trip. He was in India and was supposed to go to Manila as well but that leg of the trip was canceled because two people in the office there caught the Coronavirus after visiting China. He came back yesterday after being gone for a week but I hate that they even had to take the trip to begin with. Now Iām paranoid even though he didnāt go to Manila. Who knows whatās going through the airports in Asia! Ugh.
It was a stressful week of being solo but this added to it.

Woke up feeling a little worse this morning so stayed home today. Plus L had a super rough night of not sleeping. I really hope he isn't catching whatever this is. He seemed fine when we finally got up for the day, so I sent him to daycare. Hoping it was just a weird fluke of a night and he sleeps well tonight.

sasam Hope you feel better soon and L doesnāt get sick! cara, My H travels work so he spends tons of time in airports and itās definitely in the back of my mind too. DD seems to get sick more easily and worse than any of the rest of us (I donāt know if thatās because she was a preemie?) so it worries me.

sasam I hope you feel better Iām fighting off something but I think I got lucky. Iām just hoping whatever it is stays away. Iām ready for winter sickness to be gone. Am I weird for wishing the same reaction would happen with the flu as the corona virus?

This week is kicking my ass. I took Z to uc last night because his cough continues to get worse. They're insisting it's just a cold. They didn't swab him for flu. He sounds even worse today. Not knowing whether or not my supervisor would be in today (her daughter had an injury yesterday) and if we would be able to get coverage, I sent him to daycare anyway and feel like an awful mother. Apparently I'm out of line thinking a supervisor should let their direct reports know if they are going to be out.
I have screws in both of my back tires so I woke up to flats this morning. My dad finally found out after several weeks of waiting and tests that he had a stroke and is now going through a full cardiac work up. Daycare's probationary license was extended for six months because they left a sleeping child unattended. The rooms are connected and the kid was within earshot the entire time, but wtf? I have a tour scheduled this evening at the only center close to home. I'm trying to figure out child care for J and preschool next month and it's not working out so we are going to have to hold off on preschool until the fall, which means another five months of him not getting the services he needs.

PennyCandy I agree that it would be nice to tell you if your boss would be in. I hope things work out for your daycare! Can your son get services through your local school district?

We are going through our school district for preschool. I toured the only center in our area last night and I liked it well enough. They provide meals and snacks along with diapers and wipes and are still $500 less expspensive. The preschool has a bus that could pick J up there and take him back. The only problem is there is a waiting list until May for J and August for Z. I guess we'll stick it out until then so there aren't sny other options close to home. I can't find any in homes with openings.

Anyone else who is still nursing, and tagging vvvvvfee since I know this is up her alley... I may potentially need to go on a business trip in a couple weeks. 3-4 days. Could let my male counterpart take the trip, but optics are much better if I go. I nurse DS 2x/day (morning and night). I know he'll be fine without milk/with WCM instead, but how many days can I go without feeding him without needing to pump? I have my pump and everything, but was really hoping those days were behind me.

potatocakes I am nursing 2x a day. I am getting uncomfortable by lunchtime (at least in the one side) if I don't pump or nurse in the morning.

I have my pump and everything, but was really hoping those days were behind me. I would pump once a day while you are gone. Even if you don't save the milk, I would do it just to avoid the potential for blocked ducts/mastitis. If it were just 1 day, I'd say you could probably skip it and be okay, but for several days I personally wouldn't want to take the risk.

A toddler in steroids is the worst. The only time Z didn't cry yesterday was when he was sleeping. I sent DH to urgent care because of his cough too. He got meds and was at least able to sleep. Looks like it's my turn next. My throat and sinuses hurt this morning, but I don't feel too bad yet. Maybe I'll get lucky.

We have DD1s birthday party tomorrow. I had off yesterday so I was able to get most of my cleaning done. I even mopped the kitchen floor already. Which was probably a dumb idea because I still have to prep the food. But I can always spot mop if needed. I brought up some toys from the basement that DD1 has been playing with DD2 so that has been helpful.
This morning, I gave her a cup with a cheerio /puff combo so she just sat in whatever room I was in and munched her snack. Whatever works. Haha
