Quarantine Day Twelve

Another day done. Still no end in sight. Still pretty cranky. Again, we didn't do much today. Just kept each other entertained. We called both of Daisy's grandmas, and I talked to my brother. That was nice. Good to catch up with family. We solidified our Thanksgiving plans and booked a hotel. We're really excited…

Quarantine Day Eleven

We're getting there. I promise I'll stop writing about this as soon as I can... Yesterday was a rough day for most of us. We're so tired of being inside, so tired of each other, and yesterday was a long, hard day. It's been two weeks since we were exposed. We don't know when we'll…

Quarantine Day Nine

My neck felt better, but I still wasn't able to fully move it, so I took it easy but participated in the day more. I noticed, today especially, that Daisy has started trying to walk more than she'll crawl. She intentionally crawls over to something that she can pull herself up on so that she…

Quarantine Day Eight

Yesterday was a fun day... I woke up when Daisy did, and before I went in to grab her, I put my hair up. As I was doing that, I heard four quick pops, felt a searing pain, and couldn't turn my head. So that was basically my day. Tracking my next dose of ibuprofen,…

Quarantine Day Six

Happy All Saints' Day! We began our morning by watching the Reformation service put together by my dad's church and the surrounding churches. It was a great service. I highly recommend checking it out! Daylight Savings was really hard on Daisy, so much of the day was spent holding her off on naps and bedtime.…

Quarantine Day Five

Happy Saturday! It was nice that Miguel didn't have to "attend" any classes. He was stuck with us all day long! 🙂 We woke up to a surprise delivery of groceries. Thanks Mom! She said, "Daisy needed apples." We had a slow morning, taking it easy and lounging until Daisy's first nap. After her nap,…

Quarantine Day 3

Yesterday was Miguel's busy class day. Although he isn't attending in person, the classes are live-streamed so that he can watch from home. I didn't take pictures because I was busy trying to help our girl be happy, which is a whole day's work. We watched Daisy's favorite YouTube video: Animal Sounds Songs. It's pretty…

Quarantine Day One

We have COVID in our house! We had positive tests yesterday, so we started our 14 day quarantine. This morning, we looked up a variety of lists to find inspiration for things to do during this time inside. Because my husband is a student at a seminary, we have strict rules about not leaving our…

God Knows

I don't need to update you on what's going on, I'm sure. Since my husband is home a lot more than he usually is, I realized I need to write more (I already failed my new year's resolution in that area), and what better to write about than what everyone else is already talking about?…

God is calling me

Lately, I've been struggling with the idea of my calling. It's not really hard to figure out why. Summer vacations are ending, students are going back to school, my husband has started on his vicarage, and I'm spending my days on the couch. I have a lot of time to think about my decisions in…
