My youngest’s school sent me an email. Pods are happening for distance learning days for older kids! He could stay in his district/class and I wouldn’t have to teach him. We have Zoom meetings with the Director the next 3 nights to discuss logistics. It’s more money than I expected, so I have lots of questions of how does the $$ work if this doesn’t work. But I’m really hopeful this happens for us. This would mean my oldest would have actual classroom structure 5 days a week.

you are joking... they couldn't let freaking twins start at the same time? surely they aren't the only siblings at this school. i would so annoyed by this. (yes i KNOW preschools/daycares/etc. have a lot to consider, but this should actually make it easier.) Sorry I should have been more clear. Big brother has to go at an earlier time, but the twins can go together. But I was still a little 🤷🏻♀️ Since we are all from the same family so theoretically it seems like It would be better to have 3 slots for the same family but I also don’t envy them having to do this organization haha. We just got notified about the same thing, I haven't asked yet about how that is supposed to work since they do car line for drop off. Is my husband supposed to get back in line to do the second drop off?

I know this has been discussed already to some extent...I am trying to decide if we should look into hiring someone to come to our house for the two days that we are remote. My kids will be in school Monday/ Thursday and my mom is going to watch them/ help with school on Fridays. I have no idea what someone would charge for 2 full days of childcare that includes having to help with schooling, too. I also need to bring this up to work this week....blah.

My kid is now officially enrolled in a new preschool and we just had a Zoom meeting with everyone. We're still undecided on when we will start sending him but we have up to 7 weeks to pay half tuition to hold his spot. I really hope that by the end of the 7 week period we will feel comfortable enough to start sending him. Our county is averaging under 10 new cases per day and our state's positivity rate is like 0.75%. I really hope that we continue to trend down and make it through tourist season.

We are at the ILs in NYS for the next few weeks. We were surprised to see zero information on quarantine requirements while driving into the state.

They seemed pretty serious about enforcing it but not everyone is going to proactively look up quarantine requirements on their own before traveling.

We are supposed to go to a secluded lakehouse in NC this Fall. NC is still on the quarantine list as of right now. What does that mean for school? Will my kids have to do remote learning for 2 weeks?
Honestly I kind of wish we just weren't going at all 😫

I feel so broken, still no power, wires across the road. Then yesterday I had the brilliant idea to reorganize the bathroom cabinets and I set the contents of the cabinets on the floor as I was doing it. In a matter of seconds my 2 year old had opened a bottle of sleeping pills and crushed some of them in her mouth. She is ok after 6 hours of being observed in the ER and being given charcoal. I feel so terrible. Why didn’t I carry the contents of the cabinet somewhere she couldn’t reach them to organize? How did she get the lid off, did I not properly close it last time I took one? I just can’t stop thinking about how she could have died. I am a freaking mess over here. I’m sure that was scary but don’t be hard on yourself. It happens. (I actually swallowed my grandmother’s sleeping pills when I was 2. Has my stomach pumped!). Your a good mom and there will always be things that slip by. She is safe now and will be fine.

Don’t beat yourself up - kids are the goddamn worst and are absolutely gifted at doing shit they shouldn’t. I caught my then 2 year old CHUGGING a bottle of Tylenol once when I didn’t put the cap back on properly after a middle of the night dose. He was totally fine and very proud of himself. Giving you virtual long distance hugs. Sorry about your power. Are you on LI?

I caught my youngest trying to pry open a bottle of melatonin with chopsticks the other day catspajamas2. That must have been so scary but these things happen and I really wouldn’t beat yourself up. A visit to the hospital is punishment enough.

We're still dealing with the fall out of my 2.5 year old grabbing the moving treadmill belt because I didn't shut the gate. And we have no end in sight after 8 weeks of shit surrounding it. Toddlers are fucking monsters, man.

That’s really weird. One of those is my district and I know the parents have been yapping on Facebook as if there’s a plan. (My kids are in private school so idk). 2 others are very wealthy nearby districts that definitely have their shit together so I wonder what their deal is. I’m off to stalk Facebook.

One of the largest districts in my county is on that list. I know the plan is on the website and the parents had to make choices by last Friday.

There is a district in Syracuse on there that is very over the top. I'm sure parents are calling and yelling at them
