kinda funny b/c i just started working and not being at home 3 months ago and here we are again today.. talked to another mom and it's pretty much like being on maternity leave part 2.
me and carlo got to enjoy 1 week of working at home without the baby, and then we got a text on a Sunday night that they were closing and I was just like... shit.. how do we work AND take care of baby?
you just make it work. at the least, our day just flies by because we're constantly juggling. thankfully, both me and carlo don't need to be 100% immersed in our work at all times, so we just have mya out in the open and at least one of us will always be partially playing with her. if we have a call then we just go in one room while the other one takes care of her.
i think this is one of the best time (age-wise) to be at home with Mya. she's not quite walking yet so we don't have to watch her AS closely, but she's also interacting a ton and you can tell she's learning a lot every day - very rewarding - and adorable!!
the only thing that really sucks is that we can't go out on the weekends for a real break.. the days all kinda mesh together. otherwise, i would say the quarantine isn't too different than what we usually do lol.
I think most parents are going to be freaking ecstatic once we can go back into the offices. it'll be like a vacation and a cakewalk without having to juggle so many things. when that will be? who knows. all i know is that the world will never be the same after this and there'll be a new normal.
work-wise, i've been feeling a bit -- idk what the exact word is. unmotivated? demoralized? i work in advertising and i came across someone's post on linkedin that said something like, "sorry i've been distracted at work. there are just so many other important things that are going around in the world that i can't focus on marketing" and i totally feel this right now. like.. launching an ad campaign for a lawn services advertiser seems absolutely absurd right now and i don't know how to feel about it. people that lose their jobs are the ones that need it most and i have the luxury to work from home and do non-essential work that goes to non-essential causes. i guess bottom-line, there is a trickle effect for everything and it least it keeps people employed.. eh..
yeah i don't know where i'm going with that.. just something to think about. with the way the world is going right now, just. be nice. have a bigger heart. we all have the capacity to do better, or help. in our own way. whether that’s through donating, helping a small business, or just sending love in short text or checking in on your loved ones.. that all helps. that’s what we all need right now.
