What to Do?
Well, here I am thinking what will I do when Corona ends, as you may already know I am a mom, have a 1 and a half year old and I’m a stay at home mom as you can read in My Quarantine Story: A Day in the life of a Stay at Home Mom so this quarantine hasn’t actually mean that much of a change into my daily life, I do have plans big plans for my life to change a little bit but it requires the little boy to be a little bit older and go to Preschool, I want to make a specialization on international law and actually get a job as a lawyer maybe in a law firm. But those are goals for maybe next year, and hopefully this Corona Quarantine stuff will be over before that.
So, for my most immediate goals, do I want or need to do something different? Well I did a post My Quarantine Challenges: Establish a Better Routine I have this crazy dream schedule I want to implement in my life
So naive to think I could manage to accomplish this Is day 4 since I posted that, but to say the true is being months since I wanted to stablish that routine into my life, have I accomplished that? NO!! you’ll see, this whole let’s do stuff when baby is sleep only works if said baby goes to sleep, also it would mean that I get to have some free time while he is awake but with his dad, yeah that doesn’t happen I’m still summon cause dad SUCKS at calm him down when he wants boob time.
Yeah, this happens even when we are on his pool, we practice what is call free breastfeeding on demand, this essentially means that whenever he wants to have some boob time, he just asks for it and he will get it.
And no, is not something we will be changing anytime soon, he is just 1 and a half right now, I don’t actually have a concrete plan on until when I’m going to be breastfeeding him, but I know for sure I will let it be decided mostly by him, when he is ready to let go of his boobies he will let them go. (it will be a bittersweet day for me for sure!).
So yes, my challenge has not been accomplished yet but the good thing about this quarantine lasting forever is I can actually keep trying! Cause all I have is time to do it!!
I will admit I thought about changing it, said screw this whole thing I’m not going to be rule by a schedule I will leave my life as it comes, I will just let the baby be the whole thing my day is about, but that was yesterday, today I though HECK NO! I will do this! I even want to do some exercise now too! Yes, I may got carry away in that bit but, the point is I will keep trying, the last 2 nights baby has fallen sleep so late even tho I have tried my best to put him to sleep earlier, but today he fall sleep at 7pm like omg!!! Today may be a good day for me to start this schedule thing of sleeping early and get to wake up early tomorrow too! Let’s see how that goes I will keep you posted on that.
Now on to, What Will I Do…
When Corona Ends
Dan in his post #WhenCoronaEnds - Initiative asks us
What are the first three activities you'll do when the coronavirus is over, and why?
Since my life is pretty much the same quarantine or not, I wonder if anything will actually change, i guess the living in constant fear of my dad and mom getting sick with Covid and get complicated cause they are in the group of risk people older than 60 and former smokers, this fear will hopefully stop and I will get to visit them, so that will be my first activity.
- Visit the Parents
My dad lives actually in a town near where I live just 1 hour away, he is the one that usually comes here to visit cause my house is bigger and he can stay in the kid’s room, so I won’t go to him but make him come to us, right now travel is not just not recommended and sometimes prohibited but is really difficult to do due to the lack of gas we have in the whole country (don’t get me started on why we don’t have gas in a country with the biggest reservoirs of oil in the world that is material for like 5 posts all on its own) that is why he wasn’t able to come to stay with us when the quarantine just started.
My kid loves his grandparents and I want him to be able to have a very close relationship with them even if they don’t leave close so I want him to see them very often.
My Mom now this is a trip much longer she lives almost 500Km away from me so is a 12hour road trip, and doing that with the kid on a bus is “YAY FUN!” but I want to do it, I won’t make her come here cause I actually want to go to my home town, I want to be in my old house and be with my mom there I want my kid to be able to enjoy being there as much as I did.
I always miss living far from my parents but when stuff like this happens and I cant be near them to I don’t know protect them or at least make sure they are seriously taking their quarantine seriously and not like my mom told me the other day talking to the neighbor on the ally outside her apartment well I just want to make sure they are safe!
We could even go to the beach and my sister and nephew live there too, so that is activity number 2.
- Go to the Beach!!
I wanted to travel to my home town before the quarantine started cause my sister had just came from a trip abroad and I wanted to see my nephew, she has a car and since she lives near the beach we can go there!!
My kid loooooooves the beach like he may be a fish in his past live or something
He got that from me cause his dad can live inside his room forever and not miss going out ever.
He has only been 2 times, the first he was too small to actually enjoy it, but the second one OMG just to see his eyes light up when he saw that much water all for him to play in, that alone is a reason to go there!
He just loves to go places he has never been or just to see new things discover new things, and that takes me to activity number 3.
- Get the Kid More Out and About
We had just discovered this little playground near where I live (no so near but you know a walking distance) and I took him there every once in a while, he loves to go out, he will much rather go with me to do grocery shopping not matter how boring that be as longs as he doesn’t has to stay at home.
We have a huge backyard and his dad made him a pool and even put some beach like sand for him to play, but he getas bored to be here all day every day, he likes to see new things, people face, cars omg he loves cars!
So, when this is over, I will take him out more, I will do walks with him and that will help me get more exercise for me too!
I seriously hope this ends soon, but for now all I can do is dream on when I get to do these 3 things!
Please Stay Safe & Do the Responsible Thing: Practice Social Distance & Quarantine
