There is a big uptick in cases in our county. But "big" is relative in Vermont. We had three active cases here last week and now we have 15. But Vermont doesn't share where cases came from on the regular, so I don't know if there is some giant community spread or there was a single party of swingers.
And there is clearly a cold going around C's DC. 16 out of 45 kids were out with it by the end of today plus some teachers. And that doesn't count kids like C who were out with it and now are back. Both DH and I and a kid there have tested negative for COVID and a bunch more people have gotten tested in the last few days (results pending). So I feel reasonable that it's not COVID. But yikes. Our DC is doing THE MOST to prevent spread. Is this what would happen if a single case of COVID showed up? Or does whatever this is spread differently than COVID? Ugh.

Sometimes it's exhausting having such a strict bedtime schedule for my kids... Like, I get twitchy when other kids the same age (or younger) are up and being loud at 8:30 at night when my kids are trying to sleep. Why can't they be inside of they're going to be up that late? Or ya know, just tone down the volume and stop screeching??

Kids are definitely super spreaders as far as colds go, and don't appear to be for COVID. It's still unnerving that illnesses are still popping up though.

It was just chaotic and some unexpected things to add to the chaos.
But, so you all learn from my mistake: don't schedule a new cleaning lady at 9am on the same day as a dentist appt at 930 and during your son's Google school call from 850-920 and also at the same time as your SIL's lab partner is arriving to study with her. And then mistake said lab partner for your new cleaning lady and rush out to enthusiastically introduce yourself to her. And on a day when your husband is home but after being on call all night and getting zero sleep so he is (understandably) tired and cranky.
I brought this upon myself.

I just bought a really big building. It’s going to have a freezer that’s larger than my house.

My hair hasn’t been crazy colors in a while. Except for a short period over quarantine.
But whenever P draws pictures of me, she always gives me pink or purple hair.
I admit that I love it.

Someone I went to high school with is having a social media (and IRL to the staff) meltdown because she’s having trouble getting Fox News to work on the tv in her hotel room. I am greatly entertained.

You will know it when you see it I just looked and OMG it was like they took footage from my actual life!! I think I finally threw away his hand that had been on the top of my fridge for quite awhile.

So, I may or may not have accidentally pressed "is it still available" when browsing the Facebook marketplace yesterday. And we may or may not be going to look at a vintage GMC motorhome this afternoon.

We decided to try a little melatonin for the girls tonight because they've been taking forever to fall asleep at night. They each had about 1/4 of a 5mg gummy at 6:15. Hugs and kisses is at 7pm... and both were asleep when we checked on them at 7:30! Wut. It's like a miracle. Obv, we won't use this all the time, but maybe for a few days to "sleep train" their bodies.

Well, eff. R came down a few min ago in her typical sleep-walking state (nonsense talk of being nervous, anxious, etc, but not really truly aware or able to communicate). So much for a restful night

They are repairing the HVAC system in our office and I've been sitting here baking in my office as the afternoon sun heats it up and I just realized I could just open the window since it's 64 degrees outside.

Speaking of Melatonin, has anyone taken CBD and melatonin together? J got some CBD/Melatonin sleep gummies and wasn't a fan of them and my sleep has been crappy recently, wondering if I should try them. I've never taken Melatonin before. How long before bed should they be taken?

How long before bed should they be taken? 15 to 20. I'd take it when you are in bed. I take a 3mg gummy if I feel restless going to bed. A gummy will help you fall asleep, a slow release tablet will help you stay asleep or let you get back to sleep quicker.

Dramaphile I take 10mg of melatonin every night. It’s essential for me! I used to have some CBD under-the-tongue drops but I honesty never felt any difference with those.
