Shelter in place/quarantine.. how are you holding up??

Question

I have not left my house (minus the yard and walking the neighborhood) in over 3 weeks. I’m a teacher trying to teach from home and care for a 7 month old. My husband’s company is essential so he goes to his office for a couple of hours mon-fri. He luckily can practice social distancing and wears protective gear. He has done all our 2 grocery pick ups. I am getting cabin fever. How are y’all holding up?

Answer

I'm making face masks for the homeless shelters and eldery... and going stir crazy. I go out once a week to pick up groceries. I haven't been to work in almost 3 weeks, I draw blood and told them I couldn't do it right now. I have 4 kids, 2 will start online school next week, plus a 2.5 and a 7mo. My husband is an essential worker, 
as a heavy equipment mechanic and has been going to work. He's been good about social distancing and ppe... so I hope we will be ok. I haven't seen my mom or sister in weeks and it's really hard because I see them almost every day. Same with my neice and nephew. We were just told school is online indefinitely too so I'm not sure how all this works...

Answer

We go out every day for a drive (nap time is noon for my 3 year old and 6 month old) and try to play outside most of the day which totally helps! We also have 2 big dogs who need to run - we've been having to get creative bc all beaches & parks are closed in San Diego. California's latest models project the peak to be mid-May. It's going to be a long haul. Hang tight mama! And I also drink lots of wine lol - that helps 😁

Answer

I’m in healthcare and part of the frontline so I’m still working as usual. Be grateful you get to stay at home with your little one! I’m still home half the week as I work 3 12 hour shifts so my life hasn’t really changed a bit

Answer

I have been going for daily walks and trying to spend time out side (sitting, picnic rugs and just gardening) this has helped me. 
P.s and I've been trying hard not to focus on "being stuck in side" trying to keep positive language in my head "i get to choose to stay home and keep healthy" or just try not to think about it at all. 
Try not to think about what else you could be doing and focus on what you can do around the house, while your home etc

Answer

I've worked from home for years, and I've been raising our son simultaneously since he was 4 months old, and my husband always used to get groceries on his way home anyway. That being said, I am kind of going crazy since being laid off a couple weeks ago. But loving this temporary chance to be a stay-at-home mom! It's my dream.
