Oh you have to. Only way to keep sane. I have had my moments, though. Just ask my kids or my husband.
Shared a laugh with Ali's school counselor yesterday. Kids start online school on Monday. Last week, parents and students were asked to fill out a survey about internet in the home and if we had sufficient devices to use. I filled it out. All the kids filled theirs out. Apparently there was a glitch. So Ty's is the only one that went thru.
So I got 2 phone calls following up on Ali, asking those same questions. One from an office lady and one from her counselor. Then I got 3 phone calls about Evan. One from his counselor. He had Evan down as needing a school device. I said no we don't need one. Ok. Then hours later, a phone call from a bus driver who said she was on her way to deliver a device for Evan. No, I told her, we don't need one. Ok she says, I won't stop then. Ok. Then about a half hour later, a call from someone else at the HS who was calling to warn me that a bus driver was coming with a device for Evan, but she understood we didn't need it and so could I please just not accept it and send it back for someone else to use? I said, already taken care if, the bus driver called me. Seems like no one is talking to each other. But took it all with a grain if salt. They are under immense pressure too, throwing this all together in a week.
Back to Ali's counselor. She asked if I had any questions and I asked her how much of this was going to be like a facetime type thing and she said she didn't know yet. I said with 3 kids trying to do that at the same time it may get hairy. She said she would not be surprised if the whole state's internet went down. And I said, Yes that will be the next thing that happens. And then we laughed and laughed. More than it deserved, probably.
PLEASE DON'T LET THE INTERNET CRASH.
Anyway, my long-winded way of saying I am trying to maintain my sense of humor.
