Interesting. DS (8) had his check up last month, and his curve was similar. Gaining more than usual. I was slightly concerned, just because my mom's side of my family has weight problems, but it's interesting that it's an overarching thing. We tried to keep him fairly active at home, but maybe I am underestimating just how much he moves at school. As a special area teacher that sees a lot of kids I definitely think it is an overarching thing. A lot of kids look bigger than they did even a year ago.

I'm certainly no expert but I'd hazard a guess that the constant undercurrent of stress (and the resultant elevated cortisol) played a part as well. This year has been hard.

We saw our pedi for the first time since before covid and she motioned to DS’s BMI curve and said “yeah, pretty much everyone’s looks like that this year”. She also said she telling everyone (kids and adults) to add vitamin D this year because of the lack of natural sunlight exposure last year. We were told the same thing about vitamin D at DS’s well check.

We tried to keep him fairly active at home, but maybe I am underestimating just how much he moves at school. We could not replicate how much movement DS was getting pre covid. He was in after care from 3-5:30/6 every day and I think 80% of that time was pure running around playing sports and chase and whatever else. We tried so hard to get him to move but there’s no way we could match what he did before. He’s definitely picked it back up since being back in school full days (even without after care right now) and having a sport back. He’s sleeping better and his mood is better. He’s just not a kid that moves of his own volition but he needs to. He happened to grow up through two sizes this year too so that helped the ratio a bit but yeah, I’m hoping he’s back to his ratio by end of summer. Me...wellllll...maybe by the end of the year. Lol.

The appendicitis was in adults, it was pre-kids being vaccinated. Interesting it’s being seen more in kids though. PDQ: Yeah, nothing to do with vaccines, but is there a link to Covid or to reduced exposure to germs d/t masks and distance learning? I’m throwing darts here, but the next 5-10 years of research will be very interesting. I’m volunteering to give vaccines at my daughter’s middle on Thursday. 🤞 we get a lot of kids wanting vaccines! Hey, can you delete my PDQ when you get a sec? And thank you for volunteering! It's so needed right now.

And his diet became more limited without the peer pressure of school lunch. But now that we’re starting to rejoin the world, I see him getting stronger, more joyful in his movement, and more flexible about trying new things. Cortisol plus comfort eating did a job on my health this winter, so I’m not surprised that it affected my kids as well. Physical and mental health are so closely intertwined and this past winter was so hard. It feels like an uphill climb now to try to get back to feeling good again, but we’re slowly getting there.

"But Omar is still able to create legislation, Margie was stripped of her committees!!!!!" as though MTG doesn't have a huge batshit following and isn't raising million of dollars.

My eyes just rolled out of my head 'McCain was referencing a handful of tweets for which Omar was widely condemned and criticized in 2019; tweets that McCain cried on-air over because they were “scary” and she took them “personally” because she has Jewish friends.'

Senator Scott proposed a change in qualified immunity that would allow people to sue police departments, just not individual officers. Jen doesn't say whether POTUS will accept that bc negotiations with Senator Booker and Rep Bass are ongoing.

KW: why isn't potus using the bully pulpit to call for action on police reform today?
Jen: he did, in his joint address. Negotiations are ongoing, the negotiators have said they are making good progress. He's proceeding in ways he thinks will be most constructive.
