The dreaded Covid hit our family again for the second time. The kids started complaining of not feeling well on the weekend in the middle of January. So we kept some home from church on Sunday, and when Monday rolled around same thing. We felt like it might be Covid as some of the symptoms matched those of Corona. So we got some kids tested and Cov was positive. Poor buddy! The other kids didn't get it. But they all had to still quarantine as they are not vaccinated. Dave and I got vaccinated, but they haven't. So technically we weren't quarantined, Dave still went to work and I ran a few errands, masked of course. The CDC now says 5 days from the time symptoms started, which is much better than the 14 it used to be! We stayed home and rested lots, read so many books, had way to much screen time, made a bunch of gnomes, and tried to get homework done. One day I was getting a little impatient with Cov, who was feeling much better his last two days but resisting doing his homework and started loosing my cool. He told me, "Mom! Stay calm! When you stay calm, it helps me be calm, too." True point! So we've been trying to keep calm, and Covid on. We also did secret service during this time which helped us all look for the positive and stay happy through service. They retested and were good to go back to school in less than a week. So we made it through again, woohoo! Just had to mask up for five days after. It's so funny, we thought in 2020, Covid-19 would've gone away after a couple of weeks or months after making its way. Here we are a couple of years later, and with new variants (the lastest being Omnicron), we are still in this whole deal. I wonder when it's all going to go away or if it never will? Or some are saying it's going to be like the new flu. It is so politically charged and some say it's a conspiracy. I don't know what to think to think sometimes. At any rate, it has definitely changed the way we live. Hopefully in many ways, for the better.
