When it comes to washing our hands, my son is so great at it. He knows I ask him to wash his hands as soon as we get home, after using the restroom, and throughout the day. If anything, with the pandemic going on, this has reiterated how important it is to wash your hands! Let’s talk about the basics on how to wash your hands!
Even before Coronavirus, my son and I always washed our hands throughout the day. I am a little obsessive about it. I also carry hand sanitizer with me.
…Well, it’s true! Things change fast around here! Monday arrived with a vengeance! In short, I decided to withdraw from college. We have too much going on in our world and it’s a lot for me to handle.
I tend to make a “to do” list to tackle each day or throughout the week. For Monday, I had a “to do” list and as I was working my way through it, I got overwhelmed and stressed out!
…I start a new class this week! Last week was my Spring Break with college and my son’s school district cancelled school. So, we had the entire week off. Last Friday, it was announced that school will be closed until April 3rd, plus his Spring Break will stay as originally scheduled. He will be out of school through April 10th!
Learn how you can encourage your kids to continue learning despite the Coronavirus!
Here’s to another several weeks of learning at home, together! I am a bit worried about focusing on college while my son is home. Thankfully, I am only concentrating on one class now! It should be more manageable for me! I can do a few hours of school work throughout the week!
…We’ve had a busy two weeks! Looking back, I feel like everything happened just in the last few weeks! Although, I feel very accomplished! Don’t you just love that feeling? Getting everything done! Let’s go over our Busy Two Weeks: Hakuna Matata!
I’ve been a college student for almost two months now! I am almost done with my first two college courses and I am so excited! After these two are done, I will be doing one class at a time. This should be more manageable and easier for me to focus on.
…I had my doctor’s appointment yesterday. I made this appointment about 3 weeks ago because at the time, I was sick in January and had a cough for 3 weeks! Not only that, my asthma was bothering me! After explaining my symptoms, the nurse started examining me and she knew immediately I have strep throat!
It’s been a rough few weeks. I’m trying to juggle two college classes, dealing with us being sick, and managing my blogs. I try to complete my school work early in the week so I have the rest of the week to relax.
I love blogging. I do my best to manage my time with writing too.
My son has been sick off and on for over a week! I kept him home for 2 days last week. I also kept him home yesterday.
All morning, I contemplated cancelling my doctor’s appointment. I waited 3 weeks too! Now that I know I have strep throat, I am so glad I didn’t cancel!
Since I kept my son home, I knew I couldn’t leave him home alone. Since I am a single parent with no help from his dad, I had to take him with me! Thankfully, my appointment was super quick!
The medical assistant took my temperature and my blood pressure. The nurse assessed my symptoms, listened to my breathing, and then checked my throat. Right then and there, she knew right away!
She prescribed me penicillin! It only took my pharmacy a few hours to fill my prescription! I debated whether to pick it up last night or wait until the next morning.
I ended up picking it up about 30 minutes after they called me to let me know my prescription was ready! I have to take the antibiotics for 10 days, two times a day!
I have never had strep throat before! Have you?
When we got home, I checked the back of my throat and I saw what the nurse saw too! I was worried that my son has strep throat too, so I checked his throat when we got home. It doesn’t appear he has strep throat!
I think my son has a cold that just won’t go away or keeps going around!
At the doctor’s office, I was amazed at how diligent they are with preventing the spread of germs and illnesses especially with the Coronavirus going around. They encouraged people to use hand sanitizer!
I am thankful I was able to get in to see the nurse right away and get out of there quickly. We did have to wait about 45 minutes for our ride home.
I have strep throat for the first time in my life. I started my 10 days of antibiotics! I did let my guy know. Thankfully, it sounds like he doesn’t have it! I am also relieved my son doesn’t seem to have it either! He would never take the antibiotics. I would have to get creative and crush the pills and put them in his food and drinks!
I am in the middle of the second week of college! Since I purchased a few items for myself and my son, I realized there were more supplies I needed. As a single mom, we are learning on a budget!
Last week, I decided I wanted to create small lesson plans at home for my son to work on. After seeing him doing different activities at school, I wanted to incorporate more learning opportunities at home.
