Last Wednesday, my co worker woke up sick with a fever. He and his family went to get tested for Covid, and they all ended up testing positive. Because of the nature of our job, being together all day, and we all eat together (we thought we were far enough apart, but in reality, we were about 5 to 5 and a half feet apart)...the entire PE department had to quarantine. We were sent home mid day on September 16th, and we will return to work on Tuesday, September 29th. Instead of being bummed about this, I decided to make the most of it! I have taken advantage of sleeping in each morning until 6 AM...I usually wake up at 4:25 AM each morning to work out before work and since I can't go to the gym, I am sleeping in! Kathryn and I have an easy, not rushed commute to school. I come back home and take Kaden to school. He and I have had fun waiting in the parent drop off line. We have started reading books each morning which has been fun. Afterwards, I either spend the day outside walking and/or in the house cleaning out. Last Thursday, I did a few things work related and walked. Last Friday I went to the Bicentennial trail and walked 8 miles, the weather was perfect! While walking I listened to Dolly Parton's America which was really good. Saturday morning, Kyle and I bike 8 miles and then walked about 4 miles...it was a perfect morning. Sunday, I stayed home quarantined, while Kyle and the kids went to church. Monday and Tuesday, I cleaned out the house all day. And today, Wednesday, I am catching up on work related things, Christmas lists, and blogging. Again, trying to be productive during this unexpected time off, and yet still relaxing! I have a few more days off. I plan to relax some more and get a few more things accomplished!

I have really loved taking him to school each morning...I never get to do this. We have taken full advantage by getting breakfast several mornings as well as taking his teacher treats (Starbucks and cookies from Golly Gs)

Also found this sweet note in Kaden's room while cleaning out...I love you Kaden! You are amazing. Even though you can get on my nerves I will always love you. Love, Kathryn (Sissy)
