In reply to Joanne. He is taking shop? That sounds really neat. I hope my boys get that opportunity eventually. It sounds useful.

In reply to Nonna. Thank you! I think virtual school did ease a lot of problems for him this year. No need to learn a new campus, locker, and lunch system. No need to deal with difficult people, just do the classwork.

Oh, April…you really do have your hands full. Any mom of 4 school age children is struggling this year. YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Your blog is very uplifting for others in your shoes. And we so appreciate your support for Alan’s career, especially during the hardest times. Military families are so very special and appreciated for all your sacrifices. We think high school could be rough in or out of the Army. This virtual school may be the easiest way for some kids.

In reply to Tamara. I am excited for your town. I think I’ve read that Massachusetts covid numbers are doing much better than most of us. Our county is hit hard right now.

Our town is the opposite – still all remote and moving to hybrid soon. I don’t even know what we will do yet. We shall see.
My kids got so into the election too! They could barely sleep that night even though I told them we wouldn’t know that night. We found out that Saturday morning and our entire town erupted into celebration. I live in a really liberal area, as you can tell. You couldn’t even drive through Main Street.
Those cookies look great!

In reply to Sassy Sassy and Cult Jam. I was there with my algebra student today. And common cord math rocks me off. Lol. So do know that I still cry at some point every single day. Ha! So many emotions each day. I’ve just accepted crying as part of my life now... which sounds sad but it’s better than feeling desperately miserable. I should have mentioned that in the blog. Thank you though. 😊

Seriously I am so impressed how well you are handling this with your boys. I only have 1 child that I had to homeschool for a few months at the beginning of covid (she’s in-person right now) and I struggled so hard. I didn’t understand some of the material myself and I got so frustrated with my inability to explain things to my own daughter so she would understand. It’s hard. Kudos to you! 🤗👍
