We has that on Tuesday with camp drop off. He was so excited to go and then when we got there he freaked out. They said he was happy once he started playing cars and trucks.
I'm bracing myself for another tough drop off even though he's been talking about camp since he got him Tuesday.
It's awful! They said she has been totally fine during the day, so I hope once I left she was okay. I'm sure of it... or at least that's what I'm telling myself so I don't cry at my desk all morning. I hope your drop off is easier this time around!!
She was definitely ok! I think a lot of them are going through a separation anxiety stage, just based on a lot of recent posts by various people.
Jamie woke up this morning saying "no more camp." Sorry kid, you're going to camp. And you'll have fun. They post pictures on a blog every day and I think they take extra pictures of Jamie so I know he's ok bc he's in almost every picture. He always seems to be having lots of fun.
I'm pretty paranoid about the ebola virus too. They say chances of it coming here are very slim but all it takes is a person on a plane to land here with it??!! aaaaaahhhhhhhhhh

the 90% death rate is horrifying
I thought it was 60% death rate? Either of which is horrible.

If it makes you feel better, the death rate is probably much lower (according to h) bc some people get a milder version of it and it just presents as the flu, and they don't get seen. They just get better, but it isn't added into the statistics bc officials don't know about it

L successfully made me feel like the shittiest mom ever. I'm so big and exhausted and have no patience for his tantrums and crying 99% of our time together. He won't eat anything except crap and he is walking all over us. I feel like I'm turning into a person I don't want to be
I'm scared of Ebola too but I'm glad they are monitoring it closely in terms of airplanes. It sounds like a horrific virus and it's heartbreaking to see what west Africa is going through, so many people I feel more and more helpless lately.
This morning L was sitting with our cat Piper while I was making breakfast. She was talking to her and said "I like your yellow eyes Piper, do you like my blue eyes?". "We are friends and we both have eyes". It was so cute. I'm pretty sure Piper just wanted a treat, ha.
Our vegetable garden is going bonkers, it is so exciting. Beans, peppers, tomatoes, carrots, chard, Brussels (!!!) and so many others.
I currently have 10 zucchini on my counter. Even with zucchini planned for every meal and massive amounts of zucchini muffins in the freezer it isn't going to make a dent. Who wants a zucchini chocolate chip loaf??
Oooh me!
I'm so freaking tired. I need coffee but am too damn tired to get up and make it. I struggled with getting Eli to sleep until 11 last night. He's been having a lot of emotional issues lately and acting out. I'm not quite sure what has changed. John and I stayed up watching a movie til a little after midnight and then Lexi woke up at 6:30. I need more sleep.

From what I'm hearing from non-reliable news sources, it seems like they are monitoring it for incoming travelers. But there aren't really any safegaurds in place in airports in west Africa.

I read that it is 90% for the virus, but 60% for this particular outbreak.
I have been having a lot of anxiety lately I keep thinking V could've died if that was a poisonous spider. V could've died from falling down those stairs. The Ebola virus could give me a full fledged panic attack.

Yes I think they are monitoring it in places like Europe, Hong Kong and the US and putting potential people in quarantine until they figure out if they are infected. I think there has only been one here and they weren't infected. I don't know what kind of safeguards west Africa has and I just saw that a large group of Peace Corps workers were pulled out, so I don't know if they all have to be tested first? I would not want to work in a large international airport right now.

I'm on day 11 of this summer cold/sinus infection. I'm so proud of myself for not going to the doctor for antibiotics! But I still feel so weird. Yesterday, I was praying that my ears would pop. Today they won't stop popping and it is hurting.

C: "where's Let It Go's mama? where is she?" Me: "Do you mean Elsa? Her mama's not there." C: "where's Let it Go's mama?!" Me: "baby, her name is Elsa." C: "LET IT GO NEEDS HER MAMA!!!" ME: "Ok, baby." C: "WHERE IS SHE?!"
It's horrible if you get Ebola but it's pretty hard to get, from what I understand. And supportive care is actually pretty effective if started early. Remember, the death rates are in places where most people have virtually no access to healthcare. If rural West Africans had quick access to good healthcare it would be lower. IRT the Peace Corps vols, the two that are known to have been exposed to an infected person are in quarantine. I'm not sure how they're handling evacuation of the rest. I would be pooping my pants right now if I were a rural healthcare worker in Liberia, but I think the chances of it coming here, spreading, and killing a lot of people are very very slim.
Remember this disease is only contagious when you have symptoms.
Because if you don't have Sx but have the disease, YOU'RE DEAD! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
There is an incubation period between when you have contracted the disease and when symptoms start. During that time you are not contagious. That is a good thing because you know if you are sick and can take precautions.

The morning breakfast fits have returned. D has started melting down about everything. Her vitamins, favorite cereals, pouches, and spoons are now sources of angst. Now we remember that H did this for months. We had blocked it out.
@veronicasawyer I used to shred zucchini in 1-2 cup portions and freeze flat in plastic baggies. Then you can use it in the winter for soups, stews, and baked goods.
We didn't have time to plant a garden this year, but we do have two fruitful cherry tomato plants in a planter that are making me happy
I'm usually not optimistic about health stuff, but Ebola in general America doesn't scare me. It's really hard to transmit, it has to be through contact with the persons fluid, and they aren't contagious until they have symptoms.
I think it is scary in Africa due to lack of health care, and I can see doctors here being worried. But for non healthcare people here there isn't much a threat.
