Good morning!
My kids are taking turns washing their hands in the play sink with the play soap while I finish caffeinating. What is everyone else doing today?

Bonus of virtual school is no rushing out the door. DD1 and DD2 are coloring while watching Daniel Tiger.

DS has to stay home today bc of a cold. Going to get a CV test in a little bit to confirm his return to school tomorrow. He was like “but mommy it’s just a cold, not the virus!” Ok kiddo well we need to get a test to make sure it’s not the virus and he’s like “ok, as long as it’s not the one they shove up your nosey.” 😬😬😬😬😬😬 sorry kiddo. I’ll keep that part to myself until we are there otherwise I’ll never get him to go.
I’m 99% certain it’s just a cold (cough and runny nose and congestion) and he’s in a great mood so any other year it’d be no big deal. But life in the time of covid..... womp womp.
Mostly I’m sad my morning off from parenting and work has been ruined.

OMG I’M FREE. I’M FREE. THEY ARE AT SCHOOL AND I CAN DRINK COFFEE AND NO ONE IS YELLING ANOUT THE INTERNET CONNECTION OR PLAYING HOT CROSS BUNS ON THE RECORDER OR SNEAKING FOOD UPSTAIRS TO ROT AND STINK UP MY HOUSE. AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! This one is less enthusiastic. She’s following me around and staring, accusingly.

Sitting outside the orthodontist waiting on the 13YO’s appointment to be done so I can drop his cranky butt off at school.
Today’s my first day back at work and I am generally cranky about it. I did manage to get through my inbox in decent time so that’s a win.

STP, our dog was the same way when the kids went back FT - it was a few days of very accusatory stares wondering where I made his boys disappear too. Then the dog realized he had uninterrupted free reign over all soft sleeping surfaces in the house again and all was well.

DS is at school and H had to run in to the office to do an equipment move so I have the house to myself. I SHOULD be working and getting tons of shit done, but eh. I'm sad and moody and unmotivated.

There wouldn’t be an underwear left.

It’s “spring break” here, they postponed March break because we’d only been back a couple weeks due to the previous lockdown. We’re under a new stay home order now, so it all seems very whatever. DS’s daycare remains open for now but they did have their first positive in the centre over the weekend, thankfully not in his room. The two rooms in his building have no interaction/shared staff and keep separate entrances and playgrounds so I feel ok with him going today, but I know the teachers are stressed out. A lot of them are over 50 and not eligible for their shot yet. I’m hopeful the girls and I can get in some quality time this week but I’m letting them watch a show right now while my coffee kicks in. I hate ordering from Amazon but I probably have to because we’re low on art and craft supplies and they are all blocked off in stores as non essential.

I have to be at work a half hour earlier starting this week which is tight with dropping DS off at school; everything has to run like clockwork. I made it this morning with 4 minutes to spare so I am flying high today. At least for now.

Good morning. I’m at work, but I wish I could still be in bed. I can’t remember the last time I got a good night’s sleep. It is supposed to be sunny and in the mid-60s today, so that will be nice.

In other news, since I worked on Sunday today is clean sheets day 🎉
And in less exciting news, my face for the last week and a half has been a freaking disaster with acne. I cannot get it under control and I’m so thankful for masks but also think they may be part of the problem. I’ll gladly take any recs for products to help. I’m so over it.

Nextdoor posts alerted me to the fact that a naked man had been prowling yards and jerking himself off during many nights over the last few weeks so that's lovely.

At first, I was like "oh nextdoor people overreacting..." and then I watched multiple ring videos from multiple backyards.
Fully nude, no shoes, sometimes draped in a bath towel...just strolling through yards and staring in fences.

I slept in and DH brought me breakfast in bed. I’m supposed to wait to eat in the morning because of my medication, but I couldn’t turn down bacon.

The countdown to vacation is on! I took next week off since it's DD's April vacation. We will be spending 3 glorious days at the beach. 😎 Fingers crossed for decent weather!

I stopped at Starbucks on my way home from drop-off and ordered/paid, then their cold brew thingamajig stopped working. This was after I found a bottle of soured milk in the bag B takes to school, and it had leaked all over his things. His room smells awful right now and this morning sucks.

The Body Shop tea tree oil mask, and Sunday Riley UFO oil afterward. Seriously, miracle workers for acne.
