How did you survive the frigid temperatures this week? Do you find yourself constantly stuck in the “my kid is sick again” cycle? Can you relate to the feeling of “the days are LONG” but also feel good knowing you’re not alone? I’d love to hear from all of you!
As to how we survived the cold: We left the house only briefly on Monday to go to the pediatrician, and did a pickup Target order for some groceries on the way home. I didn't even let husband or kiddo get out of the car for that one.
I relate to this post so much!! I was in eternal sick kid land for a good chunk of Nov-Dec but luckily my child’s current stuffy nose is under the threshold for “can’t go to daycare.” Every time the phone rings this time of year I am terrified it’s a daycare pickup request!
It’s in the 60s in my part of the US (Southern California), but I have been stuck inside for wildfire smoke and heatwaves plenty of times and my heart goes out to you.
We all had COVID at the end of September so spent 10 very long days inside - I remember the exact feeling you describe of not remembering how to human the morning I could finally drop off our son at preschool again. My husband found me cleaning and was like (in a loving way), “this is what you want to do?!”. I think I then immediately went to take a nap. Thankfully N has had only one other mild cold but it’s still the middle of winter. We live in NC so it’s cold for here but not cold enough to avoid being outside too terribly much.
