Good morning everyone!
So, S had that headache yesterday that lasted about 45 minutes (basically started 1/2 way to the airport and lasted till he got home). He was fine all night, complained once of a tummy ache 2 separate times but literally 1 second later said he was fine (and he's a complainer). Ate a normal dinner. No fever. He seems fine this morning as well.
Do I test for that headache, even though it's gone? Do I just watch him and test if any symptoms come back?
As you know, MH was home and he was sad he was leaving, AND he was playing the switch in the car, so I'm wondering if the switch gave him the headache? He's played in the car before and never had an issue, but who knows?
Have I mentioned how much I hate this?!?

jewels I feel you. It all sucks. If he doesn’t complain anymore and has no other symptoms I wouldn’t test. I mean a headache could also be ‘just didn’t drink enough that day’ or as you said all the emotions. ETA for me, I tested the kids plenty of times, but some sort of fever has to be combined with a cough/headache/runny nose etc (one not all of those).

Thanks guys. I guess I just freaked b/c he never gets headaches. I just called the pediatrician and she said the same thing. If it comes back, or if anything else happens, then I should go get him tested.
I just want to bring him places this week too and I'd feel awful if I did that and he was sick. But literally as I am typing this he is bouncing around in the other room telling me he's starving and I didn't give him enough to eat.

Also morning. Kids were of from school (plan day or whatever) so we baked cookies, played games and tried to keep the house together.
Dd has her first swim class today, not looking forward to another two years of runny noses ear aches etc. especially during these times…
Dh is picking up some fried fish on the way home and we’ll have English evening, fish, chips and peas.

trtlcrzy how's H this morning? Also, I don't know if I mentioned it but the kids have no camp/day care this week so I am off with them. I'll be partially attempting to work from home and partially doing fun things with them. Except it was originally supposed to rain all day today and I told the boys it would be a movie /stay home day. Now it's not looking like rain till dinnertime but I can't get them out of the house lol. Tomorrow and Friday look like the other nice days. I think tomorrow we'll go to the zoo then the pool (assuming S is healthy). tgrimes, I hope his test is negative. And that he acts better than S does when we test him lol.

jewels I spiral a lot. But kids under twelve can now go to school if they have a mild runny nose and no other symptoms, so I’m anticipating lots of runny noses at home to and I cannot test them every single time, for their sake. I think I tested each kid at least 3/4 times and they are brave and all, but it’s taking its toll on them. I mean dd looks frightened every time she sneezes and will exclaim ‘I don’t have a cold, I’m fine!!!’ breaks my heart a little.

tgrimes hope he’s negative. The small toy we let the kids pick out afterwards helps a little, but it’s still no fun.

I have tested the boys 2 times and the second time S was a mess. I literally had to hold his flailing body down while they tried to stick the thing in his nose. Thank goodness he's a tiny 7 y/o. The last time was back in February when B was exposed at school.

Morning. Glad S seems fine. jewels Hope you all can have fun this week. I also totally get it. At bedtime M came to lay in my bed then proceeded to say he couldn’t breathe out of 1 nostril because it was stopped up. This is normal for him when we aren’t diligent about using the Flonase, but of course that made me spiral about it maybe being more than that. I kept feeling his forehead for fever. He’s fine, but I agree that I hate this. tgrimes Hope H’s test comes back negative. tallb Hope J has a good first day. Sending you calming vibes because I know this is hard.

Right now I’m not scheduled to work at all this week, but that could change. Today I need to make a list of things that need to be done while I have time to do them. Going to the gym later and M has karate tonight.

jewels, like others said I wouldn't personally test I don't think but if it's going to cause you that much anxiety maybe it's better for you to test for peace of mind?

Morning! I'm home with the kids. Please send good thoughts my dad's way please, his latest blood work and MRI don't look great but waiting to hear from the doctor. He has also had a couple of weird episodes of not making sense when talking which is concerning.

Nothing exciting here, just at work, trying to find the motivation to get something done, but so far, it isn't happening.

Morning. I still have not heard back from the school about H. Speaking of H, her headache is gone but she still has a fever. Last night before bed she said her tummy hurt, but she never threw up, and I heard her cough a couple times. So far no symptoms in anyone else.

Morning! I’m home waiting for the appliance repairman. Our ice maker is on the fritz, the fridge warranty expired 3 months ago, and we have the Samsung model that has a class action lawsuit against it, lol. Yay, adulting. This is a busy week; I keep checking my calendar bc I’m afraid I’m going to miss something. Fingers crossed for good results tgrimes. wineallthetime I’m sorry to hear about your dad, prayers for him and you guys. jewels I personally wouldn’t test for a relative ‘blip’.

I hope your dads okay, @wine! Fingers crossed for a negative test, tgrimes. I think I would test S, if the headache came back, jewels. Both kids are at school. I get Charlie at 1 and Josie at three. Charlie was definitely a little sad this morning, extra snuggly. He made me promise to play with the new cat while everyone was gone.

I left as soon as the kids were on the bus to go to Costco. But they weren't open so I ran into target for a few minutes. As soon as I got Mallory out and shut the door I realized my keys were in her seat. So I spent 1.5 hours at target. 3 officers came to help and couldn't get in. My mom brought me my spare key but by that time I didn't have time before jack got off the bus to go to Costco. So I'll go tomorrow... I'm waiting on his bus now then I need to figure out lunch and get some work done. It's finally raining here so an inside day for us.

Frustrating morning with the pup but I’m moving along now. So much complex work stuff at once so I’m taking a quick breather before my head spins. Not much else happening.

Got to work and the building's power was out. I sat in my office and read for an hour. Fine by me. Then they got the power back on, but our server wouldn't boot up and none of the partners were willing to push the button for fear they would break something. One of them called the IT guy who said, push the damn button. So now, we're up and running again. Although, I wish we weren't so maybe I could have just gone home. Smokey isn't here. she sent an email saying she is having a recliner delivered...idk if that means she won't be in at all or just late.

She keeps saying she has a new song. Does her weird noises into her fists and then starts screeching like a monkey.

Morning! Thanks for the good wishes, he was pretty excited and drop off at before care went fine. We used to have to do a pincode and everything, and now we literally pulled up and they took him.
The girls can start today apparently - I thought it was 9/1. We may start with N and get used to the new place before K starts. She asks hourly when she starts, so I think we need to send her asap.
