<strong> Last weekend E. and I took E. to the airport: he is beginning his active duty tour supporting the air guard’s COVID vaccination efforts.</strong> While I admit it’s<strong> nice to have some space to breath</strong> -we were both working from home and we only like in 1,200 square feet!- <strong> taking care of a house and an toddler by myself is exhausting</strong>, even with daycare and the cleaners coming this week! I forgot how stressful it is to have to decide on and prepare a meal every day—I guess I’d better get back on that meal planning bandwagon. Thankfully we get a lot of support from our little bubble.<strong> E. misses daddy a lot already and is very demanding when we chat over FaceTime—she is obsessed with seeing the bathroom in his hotel room.</strong> We prepared a few weeks in advance, telling her he was going to go help people; she started too respond that<strong> she likes to help and wanted to go too, so I tell her I need her to stay and help mommy. So far she is satisfied with that answer and she does try to help me</strong> by picking up her toys and getting towels to wipe up spills both real and imagined. <strong> [He] did get the vaccine right away and I’m grateful for that.</strong> Our bubble friend who works out of his home part time also got one, thank goodness.<strong> The county says they plan to start vaccinating teachers at the end of this month, perhaps because our governor has decided in person school must resume March 1.</strong> I hope that means E.’s daycare teacher will get one soon but honestly just looking at the weekly supply numbers and the size of our various priority groups I don’t see how it is possible for teachers to be vaccinated in time.<strong> I am worried for our teachers</strong>—worried for their health, and worried that the great teachers in our country will chose to retire or leave the district rather than risk their lives.
