No school for the kiddos today. What's everyone up to?

Worked out. Legos with the girls. It’s raining/snowing/windy. M is going to go to a friends house later cuz that whole family has covid over break so seems like we may as well. Luckily they do have dance and piano tonight. I’m mostly drinking coffee and watching deer sleeping behind our house.

E and I just made bird seed wreaths to put out and now we’re just hanging out, waiting for lunch.
We got a good bunch of snow last night and it’s still coming down. B was really sad that we can’t go do anything in it. I can’t wait to leave the house.

I’m trying to complete some work for a class I’m taking. I think I might take DS1 to pick up something special for lunch later.
I have several books checked out in Libby right now but the challenge is finding quiet time to read!

We've had a lazy morning. L is at school. I drank my coffee while C coloured with markers, then proceeded to dump them out and pick them up again 100 times. Then the girls had a bubble bath. Now they're watching Twirlywoos while I make grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch.
The only plan for this week is C's eye appointment on Friday. Just a check up, as recommended by my optometrist. I recently took L and N for their first eye checks and she said it's good to check them as infants. It's covered by health care so why not 🤷♀️

Puking A woke me up at 3am then R joined in around 5am. They’re both sluggish lumps on the couch but the vomiting has slowed down. So far, E seems fine. But she had a fever and diarrhea earlier last week so maybe they just caught what she had? Negative rapid tests for all 5 of us. E had a negative PCR on Wednesday evening. Idk. It’s a mystery.
We also got like 18 inches of snow and it’s still coming down. T and I shoveled out the driveway then waiting for the snow to slow so we can do another round of shoveling.

Oh, I do need to run to the post office this afternoon. C is participating in a research study and I'm sending in hair and stool samples from her lol. They give a $10 Indigo gift card per sample, so I'll have an excuse to buy a new book 😆

Worked on a 1,000 piece puzzle some more this morning (started last night). The girls made their own breakfasts and I had some coffee to go with my egg and sauteed spinach.
Just 2 client visits for me today, then I'll take R to look for some used inline hockey skates. She's sticking out the roller hockey season, so we figured we should upgrade her cheap skates

J has no school today but M did this morning. We dropped her off and went to the bagel shop and pet store, then came home and played Nintendo. Now we are lounging on the couch and watching Sing 2 before our rental expires in a few hours. No snow here but we had crazy winds and lots of rain last night.

Today was supposed to be a no school day for L since Daddy's school is closed but she asked to do school "except copywork". OK! So we did school early this morning while I had WalMart Donut Shop drip coffee with bad for me creamer. If only she was as eager to help clean up her messes or not sass me LOL

There is a lot of snow falling today. If it weren't already a holiday I'm sure that school will be closed. Between the holiday and the snow I've got a lot of employees out, so it's been an interesting day. I'm tempted to let folks head home early to avoid driving on the awful roads in the dark. Fortunately there aren't a lot of people on the roads at all. But it is beautiful. I'll post a picture if Tapa will let me.

Neither hubby nor I is feeling well today - he's got a tooth infection and I'm just feeling blah, a little achy and was a teeny tiny bit warm earlier. I had some reheated coffee while he slept a bit more earlier, and I did some filing for work. I'm making a small pot of coffee so both of us can have a cup with the danishes he grabbed when he went to pick up his antibiotics from the pharmacy.
My ADHD is making me hyperfocus on budgeting and I decided that I really want to pay off some things in the next month or so, so I'm going to be getting pretty serious about working out what's getting paid when.

milano how’s Apollo settling in? Is it chaos with 3? My pup has chewed through 3 chargers in 2 weeks (phone/laptop). I swear I only turn my back for a second.🤦🏻♀️

milano how’s Apollo settling in? Is it chaos with 3? My pup has chewed through 3 chargers in 2 weeks (phone/laptop). I swear I only turn my back for a second.🤦🏻♀️ I think he feels pretty settled! It frequently is chaotic, yes, he and Fergus are constantly romping around and I'm constantly trying to bribe them to lay down and be still. When all 3 are sleeping it is glorious. Apollo & the kids get along great, M especially loves snuggling with him. He had his first vet visit with us this weekend and got all caught up with his shots and was a very good boy.   |

I had Peet’s medium roast with vanilla almond milk. Today was my holiday to work, but since I started having Covid symptoms Saturday I was working remotely. Went in for a rapid test which confirmed what I already knew, since M tested positive a week ago. J had symptoms starting a few days later, but didn’t test to confirm, since getting tests is really hard. I’m remote until at least Friday. We had several appointments that need to be rescheduled. Fortunately so far everyone has had pretty mild symptoms.
M was off today, and they canceled school for tomorrow due to the road conditions from Sunday's winter weather. She is still catching up from being out last week, so it’s nice at least to have extra time to work on that. Having Covid run through the family has been stressful and tiring, but I feel like I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now that everyone in the house has had it. Obviously not that we can’t get it again, but that quarantine will be over after Thursday.
