. Recently, I flipped through my seven-year-old’s school journal, and found many, many pages devoted to the Uconn huskies champs 2023 men’s basketball national champions shirt and I love this washing of his hands. I am a ruthless winnower of the projects that my children bring back to the house, ascribing to the philosophy that if you don’t edit all this “artwork” it will take over your home, but I will keep that journal forever, a time capsule of a year in which hand hygiene became its own educational unit. I hope he looks back on it for the rest of his life and thinks: What a strange and foreign land we resided in during the school year of 2020-2021.
And it’s also a year in which I learned—through every late-night email announcing school was shuttered indefinitely due to a positive case—that while a plan is necessary, it is also often useless. People tell you to expect the Uconn huskies champs 2023 men’s basketball national champions shirt and I love this unexpected in parenting. They tell you to make peace with the fact that there are things you can’t control. They tell you to have a sense of humor because your ability to control who your kids will become is ultimately limited. But this year truly tested the maxim of “expect the unexpected.” No matter how hard I squinted at my Google calendar each Sunday night, shifting pastel-colored blocks to make sure that no child (literally) got left behind, the only thing I truly knew I could anticipate was that something would fall apart. I wasn’t so much dropping balls as constantly picking them up.
