I honestly just need to vent.

I will be 36 weeks tomorrow. I’m a stay-at-home-mom to my 2.5 year old daughter & I am so tired. Keeping up with her, two dogs, cooking, cleaning, etc is exhausting.. & I’m definitely feeling the effects of this shelter-in-place order.

Typically I meet with other moms at church/playdates 2-4 times a week, but haven’t been able to since the beginning of March. My husband & I have been taking a lot of precautions because of my pregnancy, our daughter having a weakened immune system & him being a diabetic.. Essentially I haven’t had any contact with anyone except him & our daughter in 6 weeks.. so I’m definitely feeling isolated, alone & irritable

This week has been emotionally draining. My mom’s best friend’s dad passed away from COVID-19 this week. My husband’s nana was placed on hospice on Tuesday because her health has declined ever since coming in contact with one of her nurses who recently tested positive. She’s 99. My MIL continuously tries to come over & see us, even though she has been in direct contact with two people who have tested positive in the last week & a half. Every time I ask her not to or offer FaceTime, she tells me I’m being selfish. I also found out one of my close friends has cervical cancer this past Sunday.

Today, my husband found out his coworker/partner at work’s brother & father have symptoms but are refusing to be tested - they think this virus is “blown out of proportion”. I asked my husband to please stay home for the next two weeks (with the option of it all being paid vacation time) just to be safe.. especially so close to my due date. He yelled at me & told me I was being completely irrational & ridiculous..

Oh & as if this week didn’t suck enough, our dog was sprayed in the face by a skunk at 10pm last night & I have spent the whole day trying to de-stink our house between gagging fits.
