Oh to not be sick!

-

 Good Morning! Today the youngest member of our household got "tested". Of course that means the rest of get to enjoy quarantine with her. At least until her test results come back negative... and I am fairly sure they will. Our exposure is limited to church and a small group of family members. Plus everyone that we parents come in contact with of course.



She was a bit nervous about the whole idea of being tested. However our team at PAFB Pediatrics is OUTSTANDING! They really do understand kiddos and their fears. 

We left understanding our part in this and even the 8 year old was "okay" with quarantine... for now anyway! Now to keep me happy with quarantine! I will work on some sewing and maybe some cleaning... not too much of that though people might get suspicious that I am up to something!

Poor DH celebrated his 65th birthday with no company due to the timing of kiddos getting sick and other obligations. He did get a home baked birthday cake sans candles... don't want the fire marshall over here even if his kids are friends with my grandkids! His birthday gifts arrived yesterday and he was very excited with his new vinyl records and today his victrola appeared!

With these new toys and an impending hip replacement he should be all set! I made some observations during the last replacement that I may implement this time to make things go smoother. Hopefully smoother anyway. 

The dogs have a nice big pen to stay in so that should reduce their need to eat the rest of the couch. Also, I am having in house help with the kiddos so there is less extra running on my part. The menu is the last thing to get ready and I will work on that and a grocery list today.For sure there is something I missed in all this and it will come to me the day before or the day of surgery. That bridge will be crossed when needed.

So here's to more anesthesia!!!

The contents of this post are from early February. I was going to delete but thought more about it and decided to share. Sorry the pic's are sideways. As I sit at the table and look across to the counter in the middle of the room some call an Island, i bask in the silence that is now. Soon the island will be cluttered with items needed to make lunches and chaos will fill the silence as the house gets moving and kids get ready for school. There's only a few minutes until everyone else starts getting up. Today is hippotherapy for the youngest. The wind is howling right now so they may cancel it if it's too cold for the old horses they don't go out. It's too cold for this old horse! For 3 days we've been able to go outside without coats or sweaters or jackets. Yesterday the storm clouds brewed like they were going to dump an ocean in the yard I ran outside and grabbed seven batts of insulation and took them to the basement to save them from the rain. By

To be or not to be... that is NOT the question!

 It is the day before Thanksgiving and our plans have drastically changed. We will not be going to my daughter's home, and we will not be having turkey with her. I did manage to find a turkey and it looked smallish to me. Turns out it was only a pound smaller than the smallest one at the commissary. We will go for the bone density test this morning, and I will drop the dog off for groomer at my daughter's this morning on the way to the density test.  It might be a ham thanksgiving this year if anything at all. I am not complaining. I don't want to clean or cook as no one in this house even eats all the stuff. That was all yesterday and like everything in my life it changes hourly. We made it to all of our appointments and with the kids in tow! We did not get to any stores, because I do not do stores with kids if I do not have to. The dog got dropped off, the bone density test was done, the equipment for the sleep study got picked up, and 5 D tanks of oxygen. We even managed

Black Friday... White Snow

 It is the day after Thanksgiving and the ground is covered. Black Friday shopping is not something I normally do, so this is not an inconvenience for me. We went to my daughter's home for Thanksgiving and a much smaller group of friends and family were there. My son was not feeling well so we took him some leftovers on our way home. Because the meal was not here, I do not have to deal with the leftovers or the post meal drama of what to do with all the leftover food. But that means no snacking foods either... it is a no-win situation. I get to make fresh food though and that is a good thing. I just tried to go out and return a medical device and the roads were very icy. I decided it was unlike Dunkin' Donuts, not worth the trip. Not to waste getting as far as the General Store I did buy the kids some soda for movie night tonight. We already have lots of popcorn and still some candy available. Now to find a good movie. the dog is being lazy Instead of a good movie we found that
