Remember like a week ago when, although we were still in the proverbial woods, there was that major breakthrough where the kids were out of the house and our sanity was somewhat returning and they were getting the social experiences that humans crave and children require to become functioning members of society / human beings and even though it was Hell on Earth to wake Helga up and get her ready for school the trade off was worth it because we could actually survive a little bit and get some work done and all that? Well, that's all over.
Two kids in Heinrich's daycare tested positive for the 'roner last week so he is under quarantine and the facility is closed until at least March 15th. Being the good citizens that we are, we are also keeping Helga at home (despite the good news which is that we have two negative tests from Joelle and Heinrich) until we're a bit more positive that all is safe to proceed. Separately from that, Helga woke up this morning coughing away so even despite the whole Covid thing we're not sending her under such conditions.
So we're right back to struggling along with two children at home 24/7 and things are actually a little bit worse than before (who'd have thought that was possible?) because Heinrich is not allowed outside even for a little walk. The home has never felt smaller!
Disclaimer: we are well aware of our privilege and the fact that most are struggling through this Pandemic Life with much more difficulty than us. But it's fun to complain!
