Today is Janeka’s last day of self-quarantining. About damned time! Playing Mom and Dad the past two weeks has been hell. I think the kids were unhappy about not having her with them and also saw an opportunity to take advantage of the situation whenever they could. And they're getting older and wanting to be more independent which leads to differences in opinion between them and me. My response to their efforts was occasionally over blown which made things worse.
Even though she is in the same house and we talk through the door, I’ve missed her a lot.
I’ve told Janeka to spend as much time as she can with the kids the entire week after she gets “freed”. I’m then planning to take her on a surprise weekend…just the two of us. I’ve got my parents coming to our house then to take care of the kids.
Then a few weeks later, the whole family will go on a great vacation to the Canadian Maritime Provinces.
