Happy Homemaker 2021-04-05

Good morning!

We are now back to full confinement except essential services for 10 days.  Cases are going up and there are many cases in our small town now.

Took off 2 half-days last week to babysit my granson while my daughter-in-law had medical appointments (they can not bring their children with them because of covid so have to find babysitters).  Talking about babysitter, ... her daycare has been closed for a month and they received a message that it'll be closed until at least april 27th (babysitter's husband died last month after battly cancer for a long, long time).  DDIL had some worrisome news for her pregnancy so she has to have more doctor's appointments.  For now baby is good at 6,5 lbs but she might have to come out earlier than predicted.

So grandson spent most of the long Easter weekend with us.  he slept over twice. 

My son's birthday is April 7th so we ordered thai on Sunday night for Eater and his bday.  Gave him some money and socks (can't go out shopping!).

Let's join Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom .

On my mind
Daughter-in-law and baby coming.  She needs to rest but no babysitter and we are all working, will try to give a few more days ... thinking my vacation days might be spent helping out.
My youngest brother spent 1 night at the hospital last week - urinary problems, he will have to see a specialist because they can't figure out why he had a blockage.

On the breakfast plate
2 raisin-cinnamon toasts with a glass of oat milk

  3. So sorry to hear about the complications with your DIL, prayers for a good health for them both. And I'm also sorry to hear you're back in the lockdown phase. Hang in there! Great tip, I should test it out some time. Hope your week goes well.

  4. Hahaha, great quote! Hope your DDIL can get the rest she needs for her pregnancy to continue to be healthy for her and the baby. I can't imagine how frustrating it must be to move in and out of lockdowns. It must be difficult to make long term plans.
