Well my spring break will be watching my two kids and another kindergartener for virtual school this week. The 23 year old we hired several months back, tested positive for COVID this morning, after having last week off while my wife and the kids had their own spring break. While we've known her for years as a former daycare worker and babysitter, even taking her with us on vacations, it was only a matter of time before she'd be out with quarantine.
While my family hasn't gone out over this last year, with only myself to get groceries/take out, my wife and I got fully vaccinated last month, we still maintained our bubble since we 've been visiting my father-in-law who's under hospice care a few hours away each weekend. We knew we couldn't impose the same mindset on our sitter and hoped she'd be as careful as she could be, knowing the situation, but she's young and was off last week with I'm sure plenty of COVID fatigue.
So I'll be watching all 3 kiddos this week and take a couple days off next week to do so, alternating with my wife. I'll try to keep the day drinking to a minimum, but we'll see if that lasts. The sitter's family is really mad at her, as her younger sister now has to quarantine and miss her prom.
About time to take them outside for some fun in the sun with sprinklers. The first bottle of Elisian Space Dust IPA will be cracked as soon as the other kindergartener gets picked up in a couple hours.
