Finally Got Us

After 2 years of avoiding it, Covid finally hit our house. Lillian and I both woke up Monday morning kind of achy but I chalked it up to post workout stuff and took some ibuprofen and we went on. By 10:00 she was asking me to check her out of school and I told her she better really be sick! 😉 Well I guess I jinxed it because about the time my morning meds were wearing off I started to realize I might not feel so great either. By the end of the night, my temp was 101 and I felt terrible. Lilli’s temp was about the same and I was keeping my fingers crossed it was just a cold. Our at home Covid tests the next morning proved that was not the case. She had a pretty easy time with it. Didn’t feel great, but no fever after that first day and only asked for DayQuil Tuesday and Wednesday. I thought she was pretty much over it but fever is back tonight so we will see. 🤞I was hoping mine would be similar but I didn’t have as easy as a time. My throat got worse and worse and I was almost in tears with every swallow and meds didn’t touch it. Today is finally a little better, and I hope by tomorrow I’ll feel almost normal. Luckily I had Matt to take care of me. He drove around to 5 stores finding throat spray to finally get me some relief. You can keep your flowers and chocolates, this is the kind of stuff that shows love ❤️ 
 Matt and Katie have stayed well so far. I’ve tested Katie twice because she had a little cough but it was negative. She is definitely not sick because she spent the week teaching herself to do front handsprings. Which is surprising because she cuddled with me everyday and the only precaution we took was her not drinking after me and I slept separate from Matt but we are thankful! 


The kids were kind of mad they only got one full sick day. Virtual learning has really taken away the benefits of being sick but it only took Lilli about an hour and a half each day and I shortened Katie’s too.


Lilli and I are super disappointed our weekend had to be canceled too. We are supposed to be getting to Hot Springs about now for some one on one time. We had tickets to the horse race and manicures booked. We will definitely have to reschedule. After months of Lilli and Matt being gone hunting together and Katie and I spending weekend alone we were looking forward to switching it up. 

Sunday 2/11 update: Katie is positive too but doesn’t seem to feel as bad as Lillian and I did

Summertime!

Yesterday was Bossier’s last day of school, but we’ve been in summer mode since they got done LEAP testing a couple of weeks ago. It’s honestly so dumb that they had 10 days of school after testing because they did NOTHING. There was a whole lot of movie watching and playing on computers. On top of the fact that grades were due over a week ago, so it’s not like there was much they could have done. We stayed out on school nights, had pool days and skipped half days to hang with Pops, or friends or just to bake.  Katie had her awards and field day last Wednesday. She ended the year with Straight A’s and a member of National Honor Society. It was so fun to watch her compete in field day events and get to meet some more of her school friends too I checked Katie, Madison and Britney out of school when it was over, and they spent the afternoon in the pool and then we all (with Koy and Lil) went to Josie’s Tball game that night. It was the second one we’d been to in a week and I swear it’...

Last Day of Summer

That’s a wrap. Summer 2019 is done and tonight is a school night. It’s been a great one. We went to the beach, Did lots of swimming, spent time with all of the cousins. But it’s time to go back and they are excited. We had Shaleigh and Lily over and went to the pool for a few hours. They had it to themselves and it was fun to spend several hours swimming and getting in one last day of play. It was also meet the teacher. Katie has Mrs. Wilhelm (top) but she is still on maternity leave until Labor Day. So for the next month she has Mrs. Huckabee who she knows because she subs and she had her several times in kindergarten. Both of Lillian‘s teachers are new to Apollo this year so we are not sure what to expect but they seemed very nice. Mrs. Winans is her homeroom and then she switches for math and science. It’s a welcome change to only have two teachers this year. Three teachers in third grade was a little much and in fact they’re not even doing that anymore. Back to school also means ba...

Bar-J and More Baseball

For Christmas last year, Pops and Honey gave his 3 daughters and 4 granddaughters a weekend at a “dude ranch” for a gift. We picked the weekend because it was Anna and Piper’s spring break and it’s harder for Anna to miss school as a Junior than the other 3. The weather couldn’t have been anymore perfect and the timing worked out perfectly for us to celebrate Allie’s 40th birthday on the 4th too. They came in Thursday and Matt grilled steaks for her actual bday. I didn’t get one picture that night but it was a nice evening. The next morning, we got up and drove to El Dorado to the ranch. It was the “rancher’s experience” and we got in 3 rides, plus the kids got to help care for all the animals Dad has his own cabin and all 7 girls were in a bunk room together. After we were settled, we went to catch the horses in a field to take them to the stable to be saddled  The wranglers were very patient considering there were 8 of us and none knew how to help very much. But there was lots of...
