Accepting Life As It Is While Maryland Returns to Full Virtual School

Accepting Life As Is While Maryland Returns to Full Virtual School

A month ago, COVID case numbers were down, and they announced that we would gradually start sending the children back to school. The funny part is that it was only for one day a week anyway.

When Alan gets home from New Jersey tonight

Remember how I said that Alan wasn’t going on any business trips in December? Of course, I was wrong. This week turned out to be New Jersey week. You might think that a 14 year Army wife veteran such as myself would not sweat short business trips. I’ve been through more than one year-long deployment, several months-long assignments or deployments, and too many short trips to count.
