I am totally exhausted, mentally depleted, and really sick of it all. I am SO grateful my family is healthy and we were lucky enough to get the vaccine (aside from our toddler), but we can’t really go back to normal life since we still have an unvax toddler. Now that delta cases are rising, we’re needing to be super cautious again and I’m so tired of constant risk assessments....every day and multiple times a day. Balancing full time jobs AND childcare is way too demanding for my husband and I, but that’s what we chose to do to keep our daughter’s bubble a bit smaller (and I recognize the privilege in being able to make that choice for us).

I want my daughter to have a normal childhood and I want to be able to enjoy my life again without the constant fear/anxiety/stress. I also really miss my family members who chose not to get vaccinated. 💔

How’s everyone else doing?
