Happy April!
I’m trying to figure out what to do/put in my kids Easter baskets. It’s harder when things take so long to ship and I can’t/shouldn’t go to the store just to browse.
We’re starting “school” soon, god help us all. Lol.
I need ham like water Like breath, like rain I need ham like mercy From Heaven's gate Sometimes ham salad or casserole or ham that’s free range, all natural I need ham
I have been in more of a funk than usual this week, but made myself get up and make the bed, then take the dog for a walk instead of just letting her out in the yard, and just generally not wallow at my desk. I feel a little better, but ugh.
Easter is going to be so weird this year. Usually I do stuff for summer, but now it's stuff to stay busy. I ordered some stuff from Amazon - thinking putty, a HP t-shirt for DD and a Ninjago wallet for DS, and a couple of ATK kids cookbooks for DD and a Lego ideas book for DS. Ordered a set for each directly from Lego too to get the Easter freebie sets. There's a good chance that the unopened bags of Halloween candy we have stashed away end up in the Easter eggs though.

Also, is it wrong of me to judge my friends and reconsider how much I want to be friends with them, when I see them not following stay at home orders? From traveling for no reason other than they want to, to play dates, to playing on closed park playgrounds. I’m just really disappointed in so many people not caring about the spread of a pandemic.
But I am super judge-y about stuff like this and have very low tolerance for people who think the rule don’t apply to them.

I'm so exhausted every day but I can't seem to force myself to go to bed any earlier than I do. I am so stressed out about DD all the time, it can't be healthy. I restarted my Lexapro 2 weeks ago, but it takes 4-6 weeks to be fully effective.
Thank God the sun is out today, I'm not sure if I could take one more rainy cloudy day. I mean, it's April, I get it, it's gonna rain a lot, but this is the first time the sun has been out in days, I needed this.
Leeham Rimes, I'm so glad that my friends and family are all taking this seriously. I'd have a really, really difficult time remaining friends with someone who wasn't.

I don’t think this is wrong or overly judgey at all. You know that saying that when people show you who they are, believe them? Well, these friends are showing you that in a crisis they’re too selfish to think about anyone except themselves (and even then they’re not thinking too critically about their own health). I wouldn’t want people like that in my life.
I finally finished a horrible project that had me working 7am to midnight since last Thursday and most of the weekend. Hallelujah! I'm back to normal hours today and I feel so free! Maybe I'll actually get to go for a walk today. That'd be super.

Nope. I am questioning many people's decision making ability/judgment now. If it is this poor during a life and death situation- what is it like everyday? This should be easy- STAY THE EFF HOME! (Especially since we are a state that has issued an order).

I hadn't bought anything for Easter before March 13 -when we started staying at home. I am putting in books (2 for each kid) and Pocky (my kids get very excited when we get it). We put coins and candy in plastic eggs. I also just ordered Animal Crossing for the Switch - but I might save that for some kind of leverage as we quarantine longer.

I don’t know if it’s “wrong” but I would have a hard time being friends with people like that too.

Last night I had so many stress dreams wrapped into one. I was at a super packed grocery store shopping for an event that I was already late to. My mom was there, alive, which always sucks because then I have to wake up and remember she's dead. Then I got banned from pandce because I posted something about kids without the @ symbol.
I need to make a bigger effort to work out every day. I've been taking walks, but I need to start strength training again. I was doing so well before this started.

I picked up some Easter stuff when I was at the store for necessities a few days ago. It’s not much — some candy, bubbles, a few LEGO minifigure blind bags....just what I could pick up quickly while I was already there. I’ve been looking online for more puzzles and small toys but can’t find much.

Nope. I think especially as an adult, it's important to have friends whose values align with yours. If they can't be bothered to follow directions and protect others, that is a pretty good indicator we don't share values.
I bought a really nice Erin Condren planner and a bunch of stickers this year. It's making me sad and frustrated to even look at it right now. I pulled a bunch of April stickers off of my calendar and used white-out for a bunch of stuff yesterday. I just flipped to May and see multiple things scheduled for May that are likely not happening either. What a waste of pages and of life.
Leeham Rimes, I am judging everyone who can't seem to understand a simple stay at home order. Yes it sucks, but there's nothing we can do.
DH's cousin was lamenting about getting down to their beach house. I put a snippy comment on her FB post that I was pretty sure anyone that rents their house was going to be SOL because that's too many people in/out. It's a lot different than if you just own and it's just your family going there (when the all clear comes of course).
I have a bunch of meetings today and I used way too much dry shampoo. Oh well, didn't feel like washing my hair this morning. Let's hope my kid is quiet.
Leeham Rimes, re-Easter, I did a target order for candy and some other stuff. I'm one of those annoying people that starts buying early b/c her birthday is also this month.
So my almost 7yo is getting candy, my little ponies for the bathtub, a yeti water bottle, some new PJs, hair clips, small lego sets, and books. I try not fill all her eggs with candy and do a mix of "things" and $1 bills.

Happy April! This month is my sisters, my grandmother's and both in-laws birthday I guess we will celebrate in the summer. I live in NJ very close to NYC and I can not see this ending till the summer. I am a school counselor and I miss my kids. Some do not have help at home and its killing me to watch them struggle. These are kids that come to my office at lunch for extra help almost everyday.
Omg y’all - I always feel super crummy day 1 of my period and my poor 4yo thinks I have “the bad germs” because I don’t feel well at all today.
My mom usually does the kids easter baskets and eggs so I haven’t even thought of what to put in them. It is her favorite holiday and I know she will be crushed we can’t come this year.
I bought Easter candy last week and it is taking all of my will power not to break into it. I know if we do there will be none left for Easter.
Also, I have been sober for the last two weeks (no drinking or green) and I am pretty proud of myself considering all the stress we are all under. Getting sunshine and out of the house for a walk are pretty much the only things keeping me sane.
I had a disturbing dream last night that kept me up for a while and left me in a funk this morning.
I dreamt I was on the phone with a student, telling them that they weren't going to graduate because the classes they were taking this semester weren't finishing their requirements. They were getting snippy with me, like, "how is that possible?!", and when I looked at their record, I found that they hadn't talked to an academic advisor in a year and a half - and I told them that, and said that they hadn't been choosing the correct classes.
Then the scene shifted and I was still on the phone with this student, but was outside standing at the top of a hill. And while I was on the phone, I started hearing gunshots and people screaming (not through the phone, but "in real life," outside), and I looked down the hill and saw my student, who I'm still on the phone with, standing at the bottom of the hill with a semi-automatic, shooting into a crowd of people. And I woke up feeling so horrified and guilty and scared.

Leeham Rimes, I'm judging some too. I thought I'd gotten rid of all the crazies on my FB, but a few more have shown themselves. One flat out said she doesn't care if people die, natural selection and all that since it's just old people, but she wants businesses to open back up because it's bad for her household income (her bf is in the food industry). I, and a bunch of other people, let her have it, she doubled down. Unfriend and block!

I don't think it's wrong at all to judge this.
My son woke up this morning with a stomach ache and a low fever. I'm not flipping out yet, because we ordered food a couple of days ago and my husband had a bad stomach ache the next day. He felt feverish, but never had a fever and it went away when he went to the bathroom later. I won't go into details, but it wasn't a regular bowel movement. He tasted the leftovers yesterday and immediately felt sick again so we threw everything away. My son's temp was 99.7, and it's already down closer to 99. He seemed pitiful this morning, and that's not like him. But once he admitted he was terrified he has "it", I reassured him and he seems much better. If a BM doesn't clear this all up soon and his temp doesn't go back to normal, I'm going to call the pediatrician. I don't even know if children are being tested. My husband is still working though, so we need to know if he has it.
I've added this here because I'm not going to have to call a bunch of people if my son has it, because we're not out at the goddamn playground or running around in someone's yard with a bunch of friends. Do they all really think they're not going to get it? That it's no big deal? WTF is wrong with the people who are not following these simple instructions???
Along the lines of keeping friends who aren’t taking this seriously, my DD (4th grade) has an issue with this boy in her class because he always brags. Yesterday during their checkin on Google Classroom, they were asked to submit one thing they miss and one thing they are enjoying about being home. He told everyone he missed them, but he was happy to be on vacation in Florida (we live in upstate NY). DD went off in a mini tirade- “What is wrong with them?” “Who does that?” “What about social distancing?” LOL
I have a 3 hour Operations Management class this morning on-line. Long time to stare at someone lecturing.
I am pretty sore from working out 5 days in a row, lol. So I just did a Peleton cardio dance class this morning because those are more fun and less strenuous.
