It has been about three weeks I think since the schools were shut down in Michigan (it was just announced today that they will stay closed for the rest of the school year) and a week and a half since Noah started working from home.
We're all feeling a bit out of sorts with our normal routines being disrupted.
Everything seems so surreal right now. The days are melting together and suddenly it's the beginning of April.
I have been tired all day and not sleeping well at night. My face is breaking out. I think I'm stressing out more than I think I am. I have been feeling a little more "normal" the past couple days though, a little less stir crazy, a little more rested. Oliver has been sleeping through the night more often, so that must have something to do with it.
I miss going to church and the library. We have watched our church services online for three Sundays in a row now. And knowing we won't be able to attend church for Easter makes me sad.
We have dinner with Noah's parents pretty much every Sunday and have missed getting together with them. We've Skyped with them a couple times and I think Adeline has really enjoyed that. She was talking the other day about driving in the car to grandma and grandpa's house.
Adeline seems to be spunkier than normal lately, or maybe it's my tiredness that just can't handle her. I looked up ideas on Busy Toddler the other night and wrote down a list of new activities for her to do. So far painting a block of ice and playing with water in the kitchen sink have been her favorite new activities.
Oliver's nap schedule has been thrown off for some reason and he has started grumbling and throwing little fits when he doesn't get his way.
Our oven is broken right now. We can still use the stove but we can't bake anything. Hopefully it is the ignitor causing the issue and the new part arriving this weekend will solve the problem. Then I can get back to baking for comfort.
I'm concerned for our grandparents and for friends and family who already have poor health. I'm concerned about all of us staying safe and healthy.
Honestly, I haven't read much news for myself. Pretty much everything I hear is secondhand from Noah. I learned long before this pandemic began that I am better off not reading sad, scary news. I know it's important to be informed, but I just can't handle it. I guess I'm too much of a "touchy feely" kind of person.
Stay safe, everyone. Stay sane. And spend some time in prayer.
