How is everyone doing? I can't believe how different the US is just since last Monday. 😞

I’m hanging in there but am feeling a little anxious. I’m working from home which is so weird. I just feel so amped up with not knowing what else is coming. What will we look like a week from today?

[sasam]

Lots of anxiety here too. DH and I are both WFH until further notice. L’s daycare is open but with modified hours and modified drop-off/pick-up procedures. We decided to keep him home though. Not sure how this will work long-term. DH was able to take today off, which helped, but we both have work that has to get done somehow. L still had a ton of screen time today and I imagine it’ll only increase as time goes on!

I'm still just covering day to day operations at work. I feel like I'm not contributing much, which I don't like.

Z had a really good day with our new child care provider yesterday. J's fever broke so he got to go today. They both did great with drop off. I realized this morning that after Z getting bad diaper rashes for a long time, he hasn't had one since we pulled them out of the center. One of my complaints to the state was that they weren't changing him enough. DH wants to let it go, but I'm not there yet. He was bit 11 times so yeah, I'm still angry.

I did my home sleep study last night. I tossed and turned so much that the unit slid down my chest. I'm just hoping they got the data they needed.

Just to be random, I did keto perfectly for 4 weeks and today I allowed myself a cupcake and it tasted so damn good. I decided I will allow myself a treat once every 4 weeks. Lol

[PennyCandy]

I have mild sleep apnea.

I admit it’s been a struggle since I ate the cupcake. Not to mention the stress going on right now.

But maybe I will go back to work after all this and people will be like wow! Looks at how much weight you lost.

Idk, the world events are making things much harder.

Yes and no. I have a lot of symtpoms like headaches and fatigue, but don't really snore.

Our clinics closed so I'm working from home until I'm called for the covid response. We have a blizzard coming today and tomorrow so I don't think they will activate me until next week. All of the uncertainty hit me hard yesterday.

My H and I Are both working from home right now. I’m getting slammed at work with questions related to the virus and our company policy. My H’s workload has been pretty big too. We’re trying to juggle all of this while having the kids home with us. DS doesn’t have school and we pulled DD from daycare.

It has been very stressful.

[klw]

What vaccines are given at the 18 month visit? H is scheduled for Tuesday morning. I'm trying to decide if I should keep the appointment or postpone for later?

The appointment was actually Tuesday afternoon, but they asked me if I could come in the morning as they are saving all of the afternoons for sick visits.

[PennyCandy]

klw, just Hep A. The first dose is highly effective so I would be fine with postponing.

The nurse just called me back and said the same thing. I just canceled her appointment and we will wait until her 2 year appointment in August. She said the doctors are going to talk tonight about postponing all well visits for kids over 18 months

I have a little vent. Please bear with me. We had both kids in daycare this last week. I definitely couldn’t have gotten the work done that I did if I hadn’t because due to school closure my job went extremely busy.

But I think my job is at a level I can maintain and have my kids home and that’s what I want to do. The problem is I am feel such levels of guilt that the daycare is losing business and won’t get money from me during this time. Heavy heavy guilt and I don’t know how to release it. I have have a small fear that I could lose my spot in the daycare if I take them out, but I don’t know if that true.

I hate when decisions that are best for me family plague me because I still have concern for others. Ugh.

[PennyCandy]

I feel guilty for sending my kids, bur DH and I both have to be in the office a few days a week so here we are. It's a small in home though which makes me feel a little better.

I’d feel a little better if it was a small daycare. But my husband and I are able to work from home during this time so I should be keeping them home.

I would do the same. I have some friends who are wfh, but still have to send their kiddos because they would not be able to get anything done
