Close to Home

The boys are home from school this week. The district made a decision - one that I’m still trying to decide if rash or appropriate - to close all of it’s schools for the week and make it their official Spring Break. 

Our local Target and grocery stores have run out of water, toilet paper and hand sanitizer. This makes me wonder what they were doing before this pandemic hit? For the amount of people out in the streets it doesn’t seem like people are holing themselves up in their homes.

We aren’t. We are going to work still and going outside to run after work and on weekends. We need to be doing that. Asher would go stir crazy if he didn’t get outside. 

The boys’ field trips and band competitions have been cancelled. I feel sorry for them. 

I hope it doesn’t come down to us having to hunker down and stock up. We have the means to do so, we have a roof and we’re relatively healthy. I worry about those who don’t have these things.
