Back to School

 Unfortunately with the move, me starting work again at nights and lack of funds and time. This hasn't been the most fun of summers for the kiddos. But we have been able to get a lot of time in at the pool which is always good. Avery has been going through some growing up changes which has been....a learning experience. 

We have been school shopping for both kids and they are all ready with new clothes, shoes, backpacks and more. We have attended the schools open houses for both kids and were able to meet all the teachers. Avery is in 6th grade and is going to Intermediate school (which is pretty much like middle school) where she has 7 classes. Kilian is now in 1st grade and is going back to Hurricane Elementary. He has Mrs. Bennion and  his dual immersion Spanish teacher Mrs. Quispe(?). These next couple of weeks are probably going to be a little rough until everyone gets back into a routine. But overall I have hopes that these kiddos are going to have a great school year and learn lots. 

COVID

 Well thought I should document this horrific event. Monday July 24th I noticed I wasn't feeling very well at work. My throat was sore and I felt a bit off. Honestly I didn't think anything of it. Then Tuesday came and I really started not feeling well. My body was achy, throat hurt and I felt very fatigued. Then I got COLD like chills running through my body and I was shaking and my teeth were chattering. My sweet kiddos piled a bunch of blankets on me while I lay in bed and Kilian even said "I'm your little heater mommy I'll warm you up." SUPER cute but nothing was helping. Then as fast as the chills came I was hot and throwing off some of the blankets. James took my temperature and sure enough I had a 102 fever. Tuesday night was absolutely miserable. I kept getting super cold or super hot, my body hurt so bad so I couldn't get comfortable. I couldn't sleep and my fever kept going up. At one point I checked my fever and it was 104. Honestly I probably should have gone to the hospital but I didn't want to and didn't want to wake James. I was able to get through the night and got my fever down to 102 but I think I only got a couple hours of sleep. Wednesday I took a covid test and sure enough it was positive. Next came having to tell people. I messaged work and told them I was positive and asked what the procedure was now. Rusti (my supervisor) said that I had to be quarantined for 5 days and then wear a mask for 5 days. She said she would take me off the schedule and get my shifts filled. Then I had I emailed my professor because I had a quiz and test coming up. She was so great too. She told me not to worry and let her know when I was up and moving and she would open the quiz up for me to take and focus on getting better. Then I had to let the RS president know that I wasn't going to be able to help out with the family history fireside. Everybody was so wonderful and helpful. and honestly the next few days were a total blur. A lot of medicine, water and Gatorade, a lot of time in bed either sleeping or trying to sleep. It was horrible. James ended up getting it too and then Kilian. But Kilian had it for like a day and a half and then his fever went away and he was back to his ol' self. James and I it hit harder than that. But I am back to work, feeling better. Just have an occasional cough and I get fatigued super easy. But on the mend and ready to put this all behind me. :)
