Hey friend, Liz here.

We’re officially in remote learning again with my elementary school kids, and it’s exhausting. I keep reciting one of my favorite mantras to myself: I’m doing my best.

Really, remote learning means mom (yours truly) gives up her worktime—not because my husband is unhelpful, but because he’s the one with the full-time job that pays the bills. That’s just the way things are right now.

(Don’t I seem so calm and accepting? ;-) Maybe that has something to do with upping my Zoloft prescription and re-bingeing “The Office”…)

Let’s all take our eyes off the centerstage dramas for a sec, shall we? Lord knows the drama will still be there when you get back. You’re doing a good job, and so am I.

(Especially you teachers. You should be paid six figures.)

Thanks for reading! Stay safe and text a friend to check in.

Warmly, Liz Charlotte Grant
