So...

2020 has to be the weirdest year ever... When we all drank champaigne to ring in the new year, who could have imagined this. I mean seriously, the most imaginative fantasy author could never have dreamed up the shit show this year has been. Somehow, we managed to survive March through June of virtual 6th grade. I'm not sure how we survived with any semblance of sanity intact. I have my first grey hairs (well, the first few I haven't managed to yank out anyway) and named them after my oldest. We started school again yesterday in our weird blend of virtual and in person learning. There are kinks to work though, of course... His first period teacher didn't realize she needed to post a link so the kids at home could join the class and every session started late because (gasp!) one minute isn't enough time for the kids in school to change classrooms. My little one has kindergarten orientation on Tuesday, which is terrifying. I mean it - virtual kindergarten scares the hell out of me. We're all trying to roll with the punches, but all this bobbing and weaving is exhausting. Good luck to everyone going back to school. I hope your alcohol reserves are plentiful....
