-We got two more positives on our Covid tests, so now we're 6/7. Kendra has tested negative twice. Third time's a charm?
-Bentley was explaining to us that he'd read somewhere that lemons were a hybrid of two other plants. To prove it, he began googling on his phone, "lemon... parents..." This kid is totally ready for college.
-Craig got me the series The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion for Christmas and they have been THE perfect thing to read right now. I absolutely love them and cannot recommend them enough to you. The only bad thing is that I just finished volume 4, and after doing some internet sleuthing, it appears that the series does NOT end with volume 5, so once I read that one, I will be stuck waiting until the 6th volume gets published. Which will be torture. But worth it!
-Bentley did finally find some information on lemons and began reading to us that they were indeed created by humans a couple thousand years ago. To which he said (horrified), "LIFE DIDN'T GIVE US LEMONS, WE DID!!!! WE DID IT TO OURSELVES." And I'm still laughing over this.
-I'm very impressed and grateful with all the help our friends and neighbors have offered. I've gotten so many texts asking what can be done to help us and I appreciate every single one of them. I've only actually taken up two friends for that help (Adam, who brought us the biggest, most delicious pot of chicken soup ever, plus a gallon of milk and a carton of sour cream-- he is a true friend; and another couple just brought us dinner tonight-- it was so kind of them). And we figured out how to have groceries delivered today, so that was also great. I don't particularly like being on the receiving end for help. But I do like feeling so loved and like there is help out there if I need it.
-I've spent the last couple months loving the two newest Taylor Swift albums and listen to them almost constantly. And also the ten-minute version of "All Too Well." It's incredibly embarrassing to my children. Another song I really like is "No Body No Crime." The other day, I was singing along to it while I cleaned the kitchen. Right as I was wiping down my counters, it was the line, "and I've cleaned enough houses to know how to cover up a scene" and I looked Craig in the eye and then laughed maniacally. It was a beautiful moment. I think it's good to keep your husband just slightly afraid of you.
-I'm feeling much better today, which is wonderful. I still have to cough occasionally, but other than that, I feel fine. Huzzah! But. I'm also EXHAUSTED. So tired it's embarrassing. And, I'm also less and less patient with my children's bickering. This is going to be a long week. I think I will have to banish everyone to separate rooms for long periods of time each day... If you can bicker even when watching TV, something is seriously wrong.
-Speaking of TV, yesterday we finally started watching the whale documentary on Disney+. They released it RIGHT after we canceled our subscription, which was awfully mean of them. Yay for killer whales!
