Stuard Family: October 2020

Who are these people I live with?

Apparently I have a house full of apes. I opened the dishwasher today and stood in disbelief. I guess I should be glad that they are putting their dishes in the dishwasher after they use them!

Jackets for nowhere

Ya know when your parents spend $$$ on a jacket and you have nowhere to wear it? Yeah...that sucks. Good thing they are cute kids.

The hits of 2020 just don’t stop. When school was starting the elementary school sent a letter saying that because of COVID and the different models that school will look like: online learning, hybrid, and all day they wanted to let us know that there might be a chance that our kids might be reassigned their teacher mid year. With the announcement that they are hoping to move to a hybrid schedule in the next month more talk of teacher reassignment is happening. I woke up last week from a terrible dream one night where Lucy was reassigned and was so upset. She has a really great teacher and the thought of this upset me throughout the day after my dream. I have tried to put this out of my mind as this is completely out of my hands. Just hoping that this wouldn’t happen for us.

This morning I woke up to an email from the principal saying that Lucy’s teacher is in fact being reassigned and Lucy will be getting a new teacher. Of course no mention of who the new teacher will be or any other info. I had a good cry and then went to tell Lucy. Lucy took it in stride and seems to be ok with it. As the mom, I’m the one that is struggling with all this change.

As I watched conference this morning and listened to President Nelson’s talk he used the word myopic. I was reminded that I am being short sighted with all of these small disappointments that have been happening. I sure hope things turn out well and that I can look back at these set backs and see the good that will come from them. At the moment it is hard to see.

What a rough year! 2020 go away!
