What horrible timing kim22! I hope he stays mild and you all are negative. What home test do you have? I was thinking of picking some up to have on hand for peace of mind. That’s so cool klong11! I agree that you should treat yourself a bit. Not Kim, but I bought Binax. Got them at Walmart. Mh bought some Binax as well.

Yeah I think you are correct that vaccinated don’t need to quarantine. But Ike you said with so many breakthrough cases it seems crazy! That’s great you have a second house so you don’t have to figure out quarantining him with all of you in the same house! Did you leave groceries etc there? I got rid of/brought home a lot yesterday since it was going to be our last weekend for a while but there are staples like pasta, rice, soup as well as burgers and chicken and stuff in the freezer. His brothers and nephews only live a few minutes away and the grocery store delivers so he will be fine. I didn’t have a lot of food home either but got a pick up slot for this afternoon.

I agree that you should treat yourself a bit. I’m not sure what the home test was. It was a 2 pack I grabbed at Walgreens just before we got stuck by the floods last week because DH had a headache and we knew he was exposed. First test was negative though.

Went to pick up my groceries at 3 and they said they won’t be ready for 30-60 minutes. We are going on 2 hours and now the kids are asking what’s for dinner and I have no food. C also refused to nap today and I slept less than 2 hours last night so now I’m all “am I tired or is this covid?”

We went out for lunch and then stopped by some friends who moved to a part of town closer than us. Checked out their new house and brought their kiddo over to play with our girls so they can unpack.

How long from his known exposure to the positive test? I’m sorry this is happening at the start of school. FX your kids don’t have to quarantine for longer than 10 days because that would just be miserable.

I started watching The Boys and fell asleep. Got a mid day nap. I’ll be regretting it once I can’t fall asleep tonight. Finally heading to the grocery store and the boys went to meet up with friends to go fishing.

Went to the Orioles game today and it was hot! The girls got first game buttons and k was a trooper since it was during naptime. They no longer allow you to bring bags and your own food in which sucks. They say it's bc of covid, but that doesn't make any sense. I plan to email to complain..it is so much more expensive when you can't bring in your own stuff.
I guess I should remove myself from the couch and consider dinner..

I haven't tried the home tests yet. If I buy the binax, are both tests for one person? I want to keep a little stock pile since everyone is back to school.

You are supposed to retest after a few days. Mh didn't do that so now we have an odd number. I think it's just if you get a neg the first time and symptoms continue, then you retest.

I think you are supposed to do 3 days apart for the same person (especially if no symptoms). We have done them when someone has a symptom, which they are supposed to be more accurate with. I'm pretty annoyed at how these aren't exactly cheap. I saw in Germany they are like $1 each. We'd be testing regularly if that were the case.

That pisses me off when I paid over $60 for 3 boxes!

Yes, they are pricey. 24 for 2 tests here. I know our ped will test the kids whenever, but mh's dr is far and I finally found a gp I liked and I don't see her for a physical until mid October so I don't know if they'd test me as I'm not really a patient yet.

MH waited over 4 hours for his test today. Ridiculous that it’s still so hard to get a test this far in. All the chain pharmacies were booked all week and the mom and pop places weren’t testing for the holiday today or charge in addition to insurance. The doctor told him since he was positive on the rapid home test, he didn’t even need to come in for another test but he ran it anyway.

I had a blast seeing [mention]tgrimes [/mention] I wish she lived closer. The drive down was great no traffic. On the way back a little bit but not bad. I got 3 episodes of my radio podcast listen to so I’m only a week behind now. Lol.

I have a pimple on my forehead. I know it's there, I don't wear makeup, I give no fcks about it. So I'm sitting at Cadence's riding lesson and she looks at me and says, "I can't believe you came out in public like that."
.....seriously? I asked her if I was supposed to cut my face off every time I get a pimple. Perhaps become a recluse?
Just wait, kid. You're 7 now, but soon you will be in the throws of puberty and there WILL be pimples.

You're 7 now, but soon you will be in the throws of puberty and there WILL be pimples. Karma is a b*tch..I'm sure you retelling that story in a few years will make her cringe. J has been kind of rude lately and yesterday he was making me feel bad for not doing well at this baseball board game, and I was like you know what, I don't want to play with you if you are going to make me feel bad for not doing well.. and I stopped playing. I'm like if you want friends, you have to be nicer. Hopefully he gets the message, or more for his future therapist 😬.

tallb oh heck yes, I call her out when she's rude all the time. She also expects me to let her win when we play games. Uh, no. That teaches you nothing. However, if I see she is paying attention and really trying to figure out how to win, that I'll let little errors slip so that she has a better chance of winning.

I have never seen those & don’t think show is being aired here. I just googled and can’t find any on a Dutch site, but I’ll keep my eyes open for sure!

I’m so sorry those hometests are so ridiculously expensive over there!!! We still have a small stockpile, teachers that were unvaccinated (dh before summer, not by choice, but because he wasn’t eligible yet) were expected tot test twice a week, as are all students. So school literally had 1000+ test to hand out each week.
In stores they run around €3 each.
