My poor husband is sucking up the water into 5 gallon buckets with a shop vac and carrying them upstairs. Unfortunately it's right by where my deep freezer is with all of our food for the next 2 weeks. Our city always floods so badly but this is crazy.

Do you live in an old house, is that the reason for no sump pump?

Also, hi, I’m quarantining myself from the main thread because it isn’t doing good things for my anxiety. But I’ll be checking in here for more relevant/local info. I’m legit worried about daycares closing. I just don’t know how I’m going to deal with my very energetic and loud 5yo and always on the go almost 2yo. I barely make it through weekends. Sometimes I wonder if I was really cut out for parenting. I’m going to need to figure something out. Same girl saaaaame. 😭😭😭😭😭 Daycare hasn’t announced yet but I am 100 % expecting it.

HAI.
I usually hang out on the CD board but I've recently started lurking over here.
West of Cbus here. Everything is flooded and our sump pump has been running every 90 or so seconds for the last 2 days.
Our daycare just sent a message that the owners have a statement ready IF they are forced to close, which, DeWine all but announced yesterday that it would be happening today.
DH and I have been working from home since Tuesday, and I'm super thankful that we have that option. But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't terrified of working from home for weeks or months with our 3.5 yo twins. I'm not cut out for the SAH life let alone keeping up on full time work while enriching my children's lives. This is going to be something.

This happened yesterday while I was working from home. Also, DD hasn't worn pants all week and DS is cutting teeth so he's just walking around screaming at all of us and the dogs.

And now half of central Ohio is under water. JFC. I'm afraid to look in the backyard or the basement. There was a fire truck driving around this morning at 7:30ish that got stuck in water and the water shorted out the horn so the horn just...stayed on for 30 minutes until they disconnected it or something. Good times. lordy

What are the rules on linking public FB posts/profiles here? The Columbus firefighter who was diagnosed has made some semi-informative public posts re: his and his son’s symptoms. Neither one of them has been hospitalized. If its public I don't see the harm. I am curious. I tried searching general terms hoping he had info public but didnt see anything. I was actually thinking about texting my aunt to see if she knew a name.

After DeWine, I'm planning on taking the boys for a drive. I'm curious how much is flooded here. I think I'm the only one here from the south east.

I'm so sorry some of you are dealing with flooding on top of everything else! It's rained a lot here but no actual flooding. I'm also not cut out to SAH. After one week of online school/work I seem to be getting a bit of a routine going and it hasn't been THAT bad (week one though, haha). I'm more worried for when my boyfriend gets told he is not allowed to go to work. I love him, he's amazing, I always joke that he's a better mom than me.... but I know it will totally throw me off. I'm worried that when he is here to pick up the pieces and I'm not FORCED to keep this routine going for the kids that I will just let my depression/anxiety take over and I'll never get out of bed. It happens on the weekends a lot. I have a psychiatric appointment next week, I've waited months to get in. I am afraid they will cancel it. I'm taking this social distancing thing very seriously but it felt like an emergency when I finally asked my family doctor to refer me and I've patiently waited, just knowing it was coming has helped me a bit and if it gets postponed I'll be devastated honestly.

So the way DS' schoolwork is laid out, I think our routine is going to be go hard on Monday so that the rest of the week is chill. We mostly got all his work done on Monday & having it trinkle off is nice. Especially now that it's Friday. School is pretty much dismissed at this point. We'll probably just catch up on the GLSC & Cincy zoo videos some point later.

I'm honestly scared about what this press conference is going to be about. With everyone speculating that things are going to shut down, I feel like this is probably where we're heading.
