Claire: And this is Claire. Joy: This is Joy and Claire. How’re we doing? Claire: It sure is. How are we doing? Welcome to the third week of January. I normally feel like January is the slowest month, but this month I feel like has gone by really fast.  Joy: Genuinely answer that question, everybody. How are you? Claire: How are you? Joy: I think objectively if I look back at the last week, I’m like, “That was a doozie.” That was a doozie. How is your January going, first of all. Claire: Yeah. It’s been a doozie. So the last time we talked, Maxine had Covid. She’s fully recovered thankfully, and it never got that serious for her at all. But serious enough that… she was not asymptomatic. She had a bad head cold, enough to not want to be around small children all day. Joy: Fair. Claire: And also because she had to isolate, so she was isolating for a week. It was the week after winter break, so Miles didn’t go back to school until Wednesday. Then on Thursday, they had a snow day. Then on Friday he was back in school. So I was with Evie while I was also trying to work. I know this is a situation a lot of people have been in a lot in the last two years, but it’s so brutal to try to work full-time while you’re parenting. So I did that. That was my first week of January. And then last week, because Maxine had had Covid, Brandon had to delay his trip to go to Wisconsin to be with his mom who had just had cancer surgery. So he did that last week. He was gone basically from Wednesday until Sunday night. And this week, he’s leaving again early Thursday morning to go ice climbing. I’m like, really? You’re going to go on a big – Joy: With Justin.  Claire: With Justin. Joy: Well, it’s kind of our own fault. We set them up. Claire: And it’s one of those things where this has been in the works for a while. We couldn’t have known that he was going to be gone last week, because that was supposed to happen the week before. And I was supposed to have been gone last weekend. I was supposed to have been on that hunting trip last weekend, and then it got cancelled. Right now, I’m just feeling snarky because I’m like, really, Brandon? You’re going to ice climbing after you already left me home alone after I was already home alone with the kids because Maxine had Covid? January has just been a month of parenting by myself. And thank God for Maxine. I don’t know how many times I’ve said that in the last two years. But if you’re new here, Maxine is our au pair. She’s from Brazil.
