And just like that it is August 6th and emails from school principals and the superintendent come pouring in as they prepare for the new school year. Ah, that school year starts in three weeks. After doing half the year at home through a cyber charter school my son is re-enrolled in the district because I believe that's what's best for him at this time. Right now the health and safety plan at school will not be much different than last year except masks are optional. With two new variants of Covid out there it seems they are back to pushing masks again and I hope, hope, hope that doesn't become an issue with school again. My kids hated it. My son developed really bad migraines because of it. Every morning my daughter would cry because she hated wearing them. I am no health expert but I don't believe children breathing in their own carbon dioxide for that long will be healthy for them in the long run ... you may disagree but this is how I feel.
To wear masks or not to wear masks. To vaccinate or not to vaccinate. All of this has divided our country even further apart. Whatever happened to being able to make our own choices over our own bodies? Hmm?
Well, anyway.
The kids will be home soon after spending the night at my parents' house. I enjoy the peace and quiet when they aren't home but I sure do miss them. I've been sitting here the last few days working on my book. Yes, that book that seems to be taking forever and ever to finish. I will get it done. I'm determined. A lot has been holding me back but I learned if I do want this done I'm going to have to steal some time away to do so.
These summer days went by so fast and I feel very little has been accomplished. I start the summer with several plans and ideas and then I end the summer looking around and thinking well, so much for that. Three more weeks! Let's see what I can accomplish.
