No normal allowed in this house

Updated: Mar 23, 2024

ONE DAY. That is all the normalcy this family can get? ONE DAY?!


The boys have been exposed to Covid, a real close exposure. We are now forced to quarantine, which means no school, no “new normal.”


Jacob who has waited 2 years for school, will wait longer AND the hospital isn’t sure if they can treat him next week putting him off protocol. What those implications are…we just don’t know. 


I write to vent as I’m running out of things that are throwable. 


I write to pray to the universe for a bit of relief. 


For a second I thought I got something back today. I was even willing to take the rain drop off with no big goodbye. I was willing to settle. I was willing to look at the silver lining. I was being grateful.


And then gone. The news that the boys may have Covid, that Steve with one lung is at risk, that the kids were hysterically crying last night about not going to school, and that Jacob will miss treatment going off protocol…that lining disappeared fast.


Unfair. Unfair. I’m calling it.
