Re: Randoms w/o 3/9
Considering that I’m still having the exact same issues and my app is update to the most recent update they have released, I call bullshit. This is seriously a great community but such a shitty app.
Anyways, I hope your little ones, and yourself, are adjusting to the time change. We actually did pretty well, which I’m shocked by. But let’s see how tonight plays out.
Today, they both took seriously long naps (D1 doesn't often take them anymore, just has quiet time with toys, even though I tend to think she still needs them), so I hope that helps.
@gomillis I also stayed up to late watching Love is Blind 😅 it's so cringey but I can't stop watching

I'm so tired and mad at myself for still being awake.

my university has gone completely virtual after spring break. They are encouraging students who go home for break to just stay home. They will re-evaluate in mid-April, but I suspect it will just end up being virtual for the rest of the semester. wild times....
It's raining here. Again. At this point I think we will just have every river flooded for the rest of forever. We had 4 sunny days in a row and it's supposed to rain for the rest of week. I'm so tired of it.
@wildrainbow Sorry about the sickness. I hope he starts feeling better soon!
I had a professional development day so rather than going into school, I stayed close to home for a meeting. It was nice to mix it up and I got to sleep in a little. My husband handled daycare drop off and pick up today so I am taking advantage of the opportunity to get an oil change without wrangling a toddler. Feels good to get this checked off my to do list AND gives me a little me time to sit and scroll through my phone while I wait.
Well give my kid a seat on the struggle bus. She's been falling asleep way late, and then I'm having to drag her out of bed in the morning just so we don't totally get off our whole routine. Yesterday she fell asleep in her high chair after lunch! poor baby.
My provider had mentioned that I should keep an eye on ACOGs (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists) website for their guidance around travel and so I was looking at it this morning and noticed they have their big annual meeting happening in Seattle in April. As of today are continuing to say that the conference is happening. As someone who just cancelled a large conference (and w/o giving too much personal information away, I work for a national health organization), I know that cancelling conferences is a tough decision b/c they are not easily rescheduled and it can be quite costly to do so. That said, it was important to us not to ask providers who work with vulnerable populations to travel to a place where they may risk exposure. ACOG is a reputable organization, but it still makes me wonder if their measured guidance around travel is at all colored by their decision to hold their conference and to not have two conflicting messages out there. I do realize this makes me sound like a conspiracy theorist lol, so I was a little hesitant to post, but I do feel like this gives me more information as I consider whether or not I'm comfortable traveling in the next month or so.
@lachnessmomster de-cluttering is quite the process but it feels good to get organized
@riatortillaxo Glad you had a productive day and didn't need to go all the way into the office. I need my oil changed too, but am putting it off lol
@lachnessmomster Yay for going through and organizing all the clothes! That must feel so good! I love organization, just don't have enough time/energy
@BusinessWife Aww, poor thing. Hoping today and this week gets easier for her. I'm struggling too with the time change and usually take close to two weeks for me to adjust, ugh.
@rivercitynik When is the next trip you have scheduled? That is very interesting and I totally see where you are coming from. It's strange times we are living in now. I tend to agree that organizations can/tend to have their own agenda which may dictate the message they put out to the public. Stay well!
@fitandnerdy I'm glad you won't be too impacted and that they are being precautious with the health of the campus. It is tough that kids may be impacted as the quality of the instruction will decrease. Perhaps you guys can videochat?
@blackgirlmagic Thank you for much for the tip! Unfortunately, the room is completely empty right now with the exception of a spare dresser. So regardless, we will need to do something to stage the room. Our realtor mentioned bringing in one of those nicer inflatable type mattresses. I just read that the guys delivering the furniture will actually assemble it as well as it is included in the delivery fee! I think we may just leave them assembled and have movers take them in one piece rather than breaking them down again. I also want to be sure that the pieces don't arrive damaged.
AFM... I'm now working from home full-time. I spoke with my boss yesterday about the cases of covid near me and the state of emergency, etc. and he was totally cool with me working from home. He even pitched it to the team that it was his idea to send me home first to test it out. He's a great guy. Felt so bizarre leaving not knowing when I'll be returning!

Ds2 who's 1 is now sick. Seems this spring virus is fast and furious. Goodbye sleep, I will miss you so much.
@rivercitynik the bachelor was def a wild ride. Yikes. I am left very much unsatisfied, but also ready to just move on from pilot pete and his journey haha.
We are still transitioning to this time change...I have been off of work since Sunday so there was no motivation for us to get on track right away but I am regretting it now. I do like this change more than the fall back one....that one sucks more in my opinion.
first two diagnosed cases of corona in my state are in my county and the county i work in, yay. No TP at costco or target when I went to get our normal (i havent stockpiled!) grocery shopping done. Cheers.
@maelove Stay well! TP was gone from the stores around here beginning of last week. Can you order any online?

But actually, I have been doing choir practice in the evenings and on the way to my MW appointment now, so not totally isolated...
Congratulations to the ladies who get to WFH now! I still don't have my FMLA paperwork all square, but I don't feel even a little bit bad about the timing of it all at this point. As far as I can see, I got getting while the going was good! :#
@maelove YOU'RE STRESSING ME OUT ABOUT THE TOILET PAPER. I just stocked up a bit, but now I'm feeling like I should go buy more!
I work in a school district and they sent out the course of action in case COVID spreads here. Right now we have one case in the county. They will possibly be shutting down buildings that have had contact with someone who has COVID.
Is anyone changing travel plans? We are supposed to make the 15 hour drive to Florida next Saturday (22nd) for a 6 day beach beach vacation. I'm torn now.

I also work in a school so working from home really isn't an option. We haven't heard anything official but I am getting ready in case we are asked to prepare work for students to do at home. There are no confirmed cases in our county but 3 in a county close by. Our union president is talking with administration to take a look at our contract and see how this will all work out. I'm not sure if we can just treat the time off like snow days, but then we will likely have to make them up at the end of the year. This is all so crazy!
My husband's entire office is being instructed to work from home tomorrow as a "test run" but his boss said prepare for this "test run" to be something that leads to more working from home. We've had some schools near us close for cleaning after last week a teacher was taken out of a school on a stretcher, they tested positive for the virus. We're taking precautions very seriously. We're completely isolating except for my husband going to work when he's not working from home and him going out for supplies. My kid has stopped attending karate lessons, the I'm hoping the teachers understand that it's present in my community and that since I'm pregnant we aren't taking any risks, they've sent emails out talking about new rules they are enforcing and pollen and allergies are already in full swing here so we risk being sent home for the runny nose we have anyway. I feel a little bit crazy for locking us down as much as we have but I'd rather be able to say we're doing everything we can than risk one of us getting sick right now.
But I'll be curious to see what the hospital policies are by the time we are ready to deliver. As of today, my hospital announced they will only allow one support person / visitor. We are not sure what they will say about the doulas yet, but they've closed the waiting rooms. No photographers, no other visitors until discharge. :#
@lachnessmomster Don't panic, im sorry! I think there are lots of places I can still order from. I was just taken by surprise to see it out at both of those locations!
@RedBaramid why on a stretcher?! What happened??
I feel like a crazy person... honestly. But I just want to do what's best for my family and my community and I am desperately hoping others do the same.
