And just like that, one day I get a call from the Middle School that says that Pierce’s throat hurts....and the next thing we know, we are quarantined. I went through so many emotions, as I still am..... I mean, we have done all the right things, followed all the rules, Brian and I are vaccinated, and if I could get the boys vaccinated I would.... We weren’t careless... I felt like I failed a huge life exam. And in some ways I still do. I felt so bad that Pierce had it and of course worried Reid would get it. We stayed separated as they requested we did. It was depressing to eat in shifts, everyone being in different rooms, especially Pierce. Then, don’t get me started on the schoolwork. I cried when I picked up Reid’s packet. And I know Pierce was so frustrated trying to make sure he was doing all his work correctly!!! His throat hurt for 8 days straight, his nose burned like fire and he really did have some breathing shortage. And with him and his allergy induced asthma. It was not fun on this momma’s heart...... We survived. But I don’t know if I’ll be the same afterwards. I worked from home and tried to help them with their schoolwork.
I gave up after a while, and measured 9 feet away from each other in the living room/breakfast area JUST so he could eat by us and us watch a show or two at night together!
Happy Birthday to ME also in all this!
Reid and Brian made a make shift candle holder so I wouldn’t blow on my cake! Paton pending! Ha!
Reid made a Yurt. I am not sure what all went on under there.... ha! Except when he cleaned up the other day, about 6 bowls appeared!!
Also more inventions
Hot Chocolate one morning between school work during a storm! It was pleasant!
And then just like that, Saturday, 9/4/21 we are OUT of quarantine
Pierce decides to have a roller blading crash, where we truly thought he had broken his arm
We got to the ER. Thankfully it wasn’t broken, just swollen and really bruised! Had to keep it elevated and lots of pain meds in him! Whew!
But then we got out side later on the Labor Day weekend, while Brian fished we went walking!
Rocks in his shoes that he put there on PURPOSE!!!
One night durning quarantine we got this beautiful rainbow! A reminder from God that things are going to look up on day!!!
Mushroom find on our walks!
