OMFG!!! – and BAM!!! A chat with a sibling and a blog post is born.
We are halfway(ish) into 2020 and let’s be realistic – this year has changed us all.
Remember in 2018 when the world went to shit?? We all said 2019 will be better.
Then 2019 went to the crapper and we all said – 2020 yep that is the year where things will turn around.
HELLO!!!
Ummmm NOT!
It is mid August and the bulk of us have been in semi isolations since what??? March???
And now parents are faced with the back to school and how will that all pan out?
AND I don’t know about you but shopping has become a sport of how long can I deal with having this mask on and getting a headache and stressed cause Lord knows 99.9% of the time I am going to wrong way down the arrows and some people just give you the old stink eye for doing so and no matter how much you apologize I am sure they are walkin’ on by shakin’ their heads thinking…assshole.
Don’t know about you but I have two bottles of hand sanitizer in my truck and when I leave a place I slather that shit on like a big old Thanksgiving turkey and wipe my dash, my keys and steering wheel and seriously – I am the LEAST germaphobic person in the world – FFS I eat sandwiches in the barn while mucking stalls!!!
Let’s take a breath.
I’m sorry to the parents- very much so – what a shit decision ya’ll are facing whether to send your kids back to school on Lord knows what expectations – I’m sorry to the teachers who are getting their asses kicked for wanting to be safe – to make safe for their students – I’m sorry to the big yellow bus drivers – how the HELL you gonna enforce that mask rule without losing your shit!
The love of my life – my grand daughter went back to daycare two(ish) weeks ago. Having been at home with Mum (works from home but seriously when she is working no joke) and me – GG since Marchish.
Not gonna lie – the only good thing to come from this dumpster fire was the quality time I got with this nugget.
BUT even that must end – scheduling conference calls soley from 1200 to 1400 (nap time) was a challenge – that kid know Zoom now – and we just can’t plop on TV all the time.
It was hard – she did not know WTF was going on – but she has adjusted. Children are resiliant!
I really do miss being able to walk about without a mask and plod on thru the store that makes hard to put together furniture at will – eat in a restaurant and HUG FRIGGIN’ PEOPLE!!!
Sigh…
Darlings – sadly – it’s here for a bit – Thanksgiving will no doubt be a wash – Christmas will be an epic feat of social distancing engineering and who knows WTF 2021 will bring.
BUT hope springs eternal – 2021 will be our year – can’t promise shit BUT can promise support, love, togethness, perserverance, strength and family.
