We are officially all home today! Bradys pre-covid schedule gave him next week off, and as always, God’s timing is the best timing! Its just one week, but its right at the right time. Not only is this within the “ideal” two weeks of quarantine, but its also over the time where we’re all trying to settle into our new normal, whatever that is, and it will go a long way to have him here with us, helping with the adjustment. Now we just pray the work he has scheduled in the future stays put and we don’t find ourselves in a nationwide shut down 😳🤞
We began our day with a coffee and breakfast date in bed before getting the kids. When it was time for them to get up, they were all in good spirits! Set the table and ate breakfast without us nagging them. I think we all like that better! And then the work began!
Maybe you guys are all a step ahead of me, but we’re on the things today! ALL bedding is being washed and changed out. ALL towels are being washed. I don’t know about you guys, but those things get neglected more than other laundry around here. Especially like, the hand towel at the laundry sink, or the basement bathroom. Kitchen towels. Guest bedding. All that stuff is getting its chance today! Laundry is humming, and will continue all day long.
I also washed their water bottles. We avoid the “one thousand cups all over the house” situation with each kid having a water bottle, but those also get neglected sometimes, and they can get GROSS. So I washed them all by hand today, scrubbing out the straws, brushing them inside, etc. They have never looked so clean!
Besides those things, Lysol is everywhere. I even wiped off the outside doorknob for the sake of the few people that do come in and out.
There is more to come and do and clean, but we’re in the right mode for it! My hands are pruney.
Meanwhile, the kids are sitting at the island, colouring, playing with paper punches and special scissors lent to us by a friend to help us survive this time at home. (Thank you, Sandy ❤️) They are completely happily occupied!
Its been a pretty nice start to the day. I don’t hate everything about this quarantine…
