I accomplished a ton this morning so I’m going to chill most of the remainder of the day. I took Lola to the dog park this morning and it wasn’t as busy as it normally is so she didn’t get enough exercise. I’ll have to coax her for a walk. She hates walks but also won’t run in the yard so too bad.
There’s no school tomorrow so I get to sleep a half hour later and I can’t wait. I’m just exhausted. I’m so close to the end of the fiscal year though so I just need to hold out and then take a little time off.

kim22, oh man. I'm sorry. That has to be so frustrating. Or course it's rolling through your household so it takes it's dear sweet time. Stupid Delta. I'm annoyed at your school's policy. As far as C's schooling goes, that's basically what the girls' school said they would do--no formal remote learning, just worksheets. I guess since everyone turned in their Chromebooks last year it's an access to tech thing. So basically quarantine = no real learning. Ugh, sorry for the crappy workdays for so many of y'all. Struggling to get over the hump like that poor camel. klong11 you have every reason to bitch. Your coworkers suck and your bosses suck more for not recognizing how awesome you are and putting a stop to the shenanigans there. Are you going to look into the school district again? I hear you on lotto dreams. I wonder if you could find remote work since so many places are changing up with the pandemic, may not be a dream job, but at least be good on the work/family balance. Unrelated, but I got this book from the library for Cass. She is obsessed and I'll probably get it for her birthday. I think your C would love it.

That is a really stupid rule kim22. So if you are exposed at work and your kids have to quarantine they are not able to get the same education?

C has covid, waiting on T’s results. Excuse me while I start day drinking. MotherF!! Didn’t he just test negative over the weekend? I’m sorry. T will be out forever, poor kid.

Oh jeez kim22. I hope it is a super mild case. How long will your total quarantine be? How area all the rest of your feeling? Back to normal? I won’t know quarantine until I get T’s results. I knew C had it last week when he was crying that he couldn’t walk. DH said the nurse Friday didn’t do a good job swabbing him. Now he just has a runny nose, I think he’s over the worst of it already. I don’t know if they will count his quarantine from when symptoms started or from the recent test. Everyone else is fine, this won’t change quarantine for those of us who were already positive so DD can start school Friday and I can start Monday. Our school has a rule you can only be remote if you are exposed at school. I’m feeling a way about it now that we are going on 3 weeks for T and I’m not impressed with the random few worksheets his new teacher gave his friend to drop off for us with no note or directions whatsoever. That’s BS. I hate that they are making the kids suffer. So many are going to struggle catching up from quarantining.

inthekitty nice! I'll need to see if our library has it. Cadence saw this one on Amazon and wants it. She likes all the lift flaps and pop ups.

Hi ladies, just trying to get over the hump as well. Got a lot of admin stuff done but struggling to go further so I think I'll take a workout break. Already took doggo on a big walk so she shouldn't give me judgmental stares. Updating student loan forgiveness forms and dreaming of one day not having 6-figure student loan debt.

Random, but I'm offended that my phone's AC does not recognize "rollerskating" and changes it to "Rollerblading." That's ageist!

Hi. I’m home alone. It’s blissful. L is spending the day with my dad so I had a solo target trip and got a little work done.
I just made the mistake of watching a video that has been shared by a few people from an someone who’s dad recently passed from Covid. It’s incredibly sad but also sad that she created a second account yesterday so she wouldn’t get banned and already has 60k followers. I won’t go into details but it’s so frustrating and I feel so bad for healthcare workers who are being called satan and being sued because they won’t treat patients based on google searches from family members. And suddenly I’m feeling a less blissful and just angry. Grrr.

My kids school basically did nothing for while my kids were out. H got 4 math worksheets, and that’s it. S did get a little more, cutting and name practice sheets.

Hey. Low key day here. V and I ran to get a couple of necessities but otherwise just hung at home. S came home from school with a runny nose, cough, sore throat and she feels warm so I’m getting her tested for Covid after DH comes home. I know it’s not allergies because she takes zyrtec daily.

Oh my gosh, kim22. I am so sorry, and shocked at how ridiculous that system is. We had open house tonight (virtually) and they said they're going to send us details on something called Knight School that will replace remote learning when kids are quarantined. I was only listening to open house and I didn't have my phone in front of me so I thought they literally meant Night School, and I was so annoyed that they were waiting until the school day was over to run a program.

They are supposed to be having after school virtual drop in sessions for quarantined kids if they need help but it wouldn’t be their teacher, just whatever teacher signs up for it. I don’t think they are set up yet. They would help older kids maybe but for T, it’s not like I can’t do 2Nd grade stuff with him, it’s just he will literally be alone in a room all day next week when I have to work and he’s basically been alone with C for over a week already. He’s cool with it because he just plays Xbox all day but I don’t think he really gets that everyone else is at school. I think they set it up this way to encourage vaccinations and discourage travel but my family did everything we were supposed to and we are feeling kinda punished. We turned down every party invite, the kids haven’t been in a restaurant, it just sucks. Also, I’m not allowed to take off to take care of my quarantined kids so it’s good I just got covid and had to be off.

kim22 I'm so angry and sorry this is still going on for you. I don't understand how people expect things to go back to normal with these rolling quarantines. Hoping this is the end of it and it's a mild case.
