Mommy Octopus

Today is day 10 of staying at home and so far, we are doing well.  I truly enjoy cooking for my family and spending time with them, so honestly it hasn’t been too difficult.  Saturday we celebrated a week at home by making a cookie cake and grilling outside.  The kids enjoyed it and it was a delicious treat.  This week brings another week at home and homeschooling.  Today my husband has to return to his work in law enforcement.  We spoke to his oncologist and to our PCP and even though his immunity is a little low, they say to just use good hygiene and stay away from others to prevent contracting the virus.  Please pray that he continues to stay healthy.  I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous, but we need to trust his doctors and above all else, trust that God has this.

It is a little bizarre not having anywhere to go and not being able to play with our neighbors.  We pray that this season passes quickly and that all of you stay healthy.

Here’s our menu for the week –

Monday: Lasagna

Tuesday: Burritos

Wednesday: Egg Casserole

Thursday: Roast, veggies

Friday: Grilled Cheese, soup

Saturday: Lentil Soup

Sunday: Spaghetti

What a roller coaster of a week.  Today we find ourselves socially distancing at home.  It feels really hard currently because we had a week of a kid being sick with Flu A, followed by another kid getting strep, so we’ve been at home a lot already over the past month.  We are making the most of it though, with homeschooling, walks outside, and family.  As of right now, my husband has shaved his beard off to lessen the chance of getting germs in his face.  Apparently studies have shown that this is helpful.  He’s also currently on medical leave while we evaluate his health risk with his doctors.  His immune system has still been low from radiation treatments.

Hope you and your family are well and safe during this uncertain season.  I have to remind myself often that this is just a season and it will pass.

Monday: Spinach and fruit smoothies and baked potatoes

Tuesday: Hamburgers, broccoli

Wednesday: Bean Soup

Thursday: Good Grub

Friday: Eggs, biscuits

Saturday: Grilled chicken, veggies

Sunday: Chili
