A week ago a pandemia was declared here. It´s an unusual situation, nobody knows exactly what to do, but they declared a month without schools, kindergarden or daycare for everybody. Complete caos for those with children and a job.
So here we are, working it out. Thanksfully we have the grandparents to help. It´s to cold to get out everyday. No theaters, no malls, no supermarkets, any place that is crowded is suggested no to attend. So we try to play at home, painting, books, magazines, toys, cars and yes too much TV and youtube.
At the beginning I was a little scared and angry. Nobody care about people in my situation, alone with my kid, a random job with no free flu days… If I don´t work I don´t have money, so…. We are doing great, my kid is the best, he has adapted so far to this scenario. We are having a really goodtime. And working a lot overnight.
Now the problem is another: maybe I can loose my “main job” That is really scary.
Those are the pictures of our day in the building roof. It´s sort of a terrace. T played with a little neighbour and enjoyed very much the fact that they were building a doghouse. You know guy´s stuff!

I get so anxious when my kid needs to stay home … if I don’t have sick or vacation days at work I’m screwed.
I’m lucky to have my parents around most of the time, but that may not always be the case and employers should be flexible with people that are single parents …
