more covid tests and more coughing

-

 Not only did I test at home several times this weekend, but I also had to go to work and test there. Lab test for that. We have way too many new cases at work these days. That is the way it goes, I guess. They came to the door as if I were a pariah. It was funny. Bet they don't ask me to fill in any time soon! 

The march to empty the freezers and the pantry continues. Tonight, we had something I have never made for the two youngest girls. I am not sure why I haven't made it, but those days are over. We had goulash, yes, I did say goulash.  The jury is still out on taste. Boy they are a critical bunch!I did top my dish with cheese. It wasn't too bad!


DH just made himself a plate, so we will see what he thinks. I did not use regular elbow macaroni as we had many boxes of Kraft Mac n Cheese that the now tween states "is disgusting". This after she begged for a case from Costco last summer. Well, at least a second box is used... 16 to go!

Tomorrow, I meet with the local school to see what if anything they have to offer the girls in terms of SPED. Their current school finally has one teacher, and he has seen the girls one time each. That does not come close to the IEP plan of 30 minutes a day. He has been on board since August. We have never been that impressed with the local school for the older kids, but they perhaps have something for the younger kids.

If not, we will be back to homeschooling and trying to find a co-op. That makes me miss the "free babysitters" and we are not even gone yet. Well, one vote from the tween is in and it is a thumbs down for goulash. No doubt the youngest will have her back! Maybe DH will be okay with it. For now, it is time to close and put the chickens and turkey to bed and finish the paperwork for the sleep study that DH is going to tonight.
Good night blog

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
