Love the pics, wedding! I hope your dad is okay, tgrimes. It all sounds so difficult. kim22, I am so sorry and I hope you feel better! How does the quarantining work for everyone in your family? So the health department called and asked questions then sent me all the rules for each of us. DS1 has no symptoms and a negative pcr and is vaccinated. He can return to school tomorrow (this makes me nervous since that was me like yesterday but we really do think he may have actually been the first to have covid a few weeks ago). DH is out of quarantine Saturday because that’s 10 days from his first symptoms. DD can return to school the 17th because that’s 10 days after her positive (assuming she doesn’t get symptoms and have them at that time). I’m back in the world the 18th, since my symptoms started yesterday. T and C we have options. They can test in 5 days and if negative, quarantine 5 more or they can not test and quarantine 14 days. Their days start from today when the 3 positive people spent limited time with them and only when masked. We have 2 bathrooms so one is for the positive people and one for the negative. Positive people eat outside, negative eat inside. Tomorrow will be hard with DS1 gone so he can’t help. Hoping the rain will pass quickly and I’ll feel well enough to sit outside and let them spend most of the day there.

I hope everyone who has it stays mild and the littles and ds1 stay negative!

Poor health department nurse called and was only aware of DD’s case at the time.

kim22 that’s a lot. I hope you stay mild and everyone else stays healthy. I don’t see how you can really stay away from the littles though. That’s so hard tgrimes I’m sorry that’s so tough to deal with.

Today was busy. Went on a walk with a friend, car wash, errands, washed windows inside and out, and got a little work done. Then our new dining room chairs that I ordered the beginning of July were delivered. One box was damaged so I opened it and both chairs were busted. So I had to open the other boxes and inspect everything and take pictures, then call and report it. Luckily customer service was good and they are sending new ones.. when they get back in stock.
Then I went to talk to our flooring guy and finalized a few details and confirmed his timeline. I called the contractor to clarify some things and it sounds like they will start early November and be done before Christmas. Feeling better about all that today.
I took N to dance as soon as she got off the bus, and took the boys to the farmers market. Got home and started on dinner and Dh got home with N right when I remembered she also had volleyball tonight. So I was flustered and took her while Dh made dinner which led him to be annoyed with me. We hashed it out but, man, I wanted to throat punch him for a minute.

Our neighbors came back last week and M’s friend that’s in the same grade is now riding the bus and going school. Today the bus was late so I waited on them and when it dropped off I just see M. So as I walk toward him to meet him, I ask if K rode the bus. He goes- Yes she did but she is asleep on the back of the bus. 😫 I was like dude why didn’t you wake her up or tell the bus driver?? So we walk back to the bus stop so I can stop the bus when it comes back from the culdesac and get K off but we see her walking down the street. She woke up and got off at the next stop. The school messaged us that the bus would be late, so her mom hadn’t made it out before the bus came. She felt so bad when I told her, but I assured her that it happens and it takes a village. I’m just glad I was out there in case she didn’t wake up in time to get off.
But y’all…If ‘let me mind my business’ was a person, that would be M all day. He never speaks up when he sees something going wrong. He will literally watch his brother/cousins or others do something he knows they are going to hurt themselves doing or get in trouble for, and not say anything. Then when M2 comes crying or something happens he nonchalantly is like- yeah I watched it happen. 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ kids man. We had a talk about him speaking up about things like that.

I’m sorry kim22. I hope everyone stays well and you don’t kill each other by the end of quarantine/isolation. Those pics kill me wedding! I bet it’s hard dealing with all of that tgrimes. I’m glad your parents will have a lot of help at their new living arrangements.

Yesterday I took V to run errands which ended at Costco. I got home and V was throwing a fit so I was trying to get the frozen stuff in the deep freeze (which is in the garage) quickly before I got her out. Our garage is currently storage for all the stuff out of the basement so it’s messy and kind of a tight aisle to the back. I stepped on the air pump for bike tires, which flew out from under me and caused me to fall hard on my left side. I am so sore. I feel like I have a giant bruise on my left hip but nothing is visible on my skin. So today I didn’t do much besides lay on the couch and nap with V. After school H had a haircut appt so we rushed out of the house as soon as they got off the bus. I did a little work in my garden after supper but now I regret it because I’m even more sore. Don’t worry though, I took ibuprofen which helps.

When will they actually move into assisted care? lahdeedah I’m so glad you got M2 out of the other place and the new one is great 😊 They should be moved in completely by the 16th. They need a new bed and a table/chairs, & the stuff that got picked up today should be delivered in 7 days.

Don’t worry though, I took ibuprofen which helps. I'm sorry! Take it easy for a few days!! I do stupid crap like this all the time. A jokes that I should wrap myself in bubble wrap before the police accuse him of abuse. I've always got at least 6 bruises in varying stages 🤦♀️

That's great! We have to opt into something but I'm not sure if it is weekly testing or random weekly testing...of course I already signed up and clearly didn't read it carefully 🤦 Did anyone else get sick in your house? I have lost track of days..

I have lost track of days.. No, we were lucky. I’m questioning if I had it before H though. The week before she tested positive I was excessively tired, which can be a Covid symptom. But at this point who knows.

We start weekly testing at schools this year. Last year they had a requirement for anyone in school sports to get tested but it was off site. This year parents can opt their kid in. If a kid is symptomatic at school they will also test them with a rapid. I’m hoping all of these things help. We already got an email from the principal about not sending in sick kids and notifying them if the child had a Covid test and not to send in if anyone in the household has a test pending.
