Yikes lahdeedah. I hope your H's job continues to remain safe and that they'll be able to play in the spring, as planned. Do you think he'll put out feelers to other programs just in case, or is he pretty confident he'll continue to be retained?

vino glad J is on the mend. lahdeedah fx everything stays good for you guys. I remember how anxious I was when MH’s boss was let go in the winter. Today I ran a bunch of errands while C napped. Now I’m thinking of all the things I need to do before I go back to work tomorrow. This is the least prepared I have ever been because I gave up trying to prepare when everything kept changing. My goal is to get up early and get back into a routine of working out before work but I have been sleeping until at least 9 so 6 is going to hurt tomorrow. I did buy lots of new clothes to get myself excited to go back.

Well, the first day was a success. Of course trying to get details out of B is like pulling teeth, but he seems happy. He was most excited about the news trucks outside his school this morning, ha. One of his classmates sat next to him on the bus this afternoon so I'm glad he has a buddy. For their part, his teachers seem extremely well-organized and like they will be great communicators, so 2 thumbs up for that. Golf was cancelled today due to rain so now that he's had his snack I'm hiding out in my room for a bit Quarantine habits die hard, apparently.

Do you think he'll put out feelers to other programs just in case, or is he pretty confident he'll continue to be retained? After hearing from some people that Mh trusts for info, we think we will be safe, but I also know it’s not a guarantee. Until we know who the next coach is and that situation, it’s always a small chance. The AD likes Mh and the work he does, so that’s always a positive.

Cadence is asking for bath bombs with toys inside. Anyone know of a good brand for those? The kids love these. I just get them from Etsy or Amazon. Poor J, vino. Glad she’s on the mend.

We had OT for X this morning, and then he has Floortime therapy this afternoon.
I had my own neuropsych evaluation this morning, and go in the testing in a couple weeks. Can’t wait to hear exactly what’s wrong with my brain.😳
Just another busy week here. X and P both have runny noses that are probably nothing more than that (no fevers, cough, etc) but I am thinking they might need to stay home for a day or two so we can keep an eye on things.

N’s back from her first day! She said it went well but got a little sad that she couldn’t play with some of her friends in other classes. Actually made me tear up, but then she said it was still a great day.
H was “so very bored” approximately 10 minutes after we dropped her off, so we went ok a hour long walk /bike ride with my sister and niece and then hung out at her house for a bit.
Pickup wasn’t as bad as i expected. But it helps that they are hybrid so only half the kids, and they had the teachers park in the parking lot next door which helped a lot.

Oh, everything. Literally. 2020 is nuts. Really? Are you good? That it is. We’re good, it’s just been bananas trying to cobble together all X’s therapies since school shut down. Dude is having major anxiety and now they’re evaluating him for ASD/ADHD/OCD. We started equine therapy for now.🤷♀️ Tim and I have been working on getting our own 💯 outdoor, inclusive forest preschool established. Supposedly, our park service will be allowing use of public spaces again as of 9/19. Idk what else. Pete is being helpful, divorce is dragging on forever but Co-parenting has been mostly a breeze thus far.

Yikes vino! Glad she’s ok now! lahdeedah glad he still has his job. It’s so tough to watch those around you losing their jobs. I’ve seen a lot of it in my industry and even though I’m employed, it still stinks.

Glad to hear it’s going well and you’re good. 💙 That is amazing about the school! My little one’s preschool has moved to all outdoor. So if you want me to send you any of their marketing to see how they’re doing it, I’m happy to share. But something tells me you have it down. Sorry to hear about the anxiety. Did it start after quarantine? Equine therapy is amazing regardless. I used to volunteer at a farm that was used for therapies as a teen and I found a place by me that did it as well. But then Covid happened and my plans fell apart. But, regardless, I’ve seen amazing things with it. Is he taking to it?

Josie’s first zoom went well. They read a book and talked about first day jitters. Her teacher called this afternoon to explain some things, and I feel comfortable with the remote schedule for now, but I know we’ll be back soon. She did say recess was hard and that it’s tough to have kids sit in their desks for so long so she’ll try to incorporate some mini exercise and dances next to their desks so they get a movement break!

Are you guys completely remote? Did you have the option? I know you’re not that far from me, so It’s interesting how it varies.
