Dreaded Day
Today is the day that we go to the school open house to meet the teachers.
I live in GA, a decidedly bible belt type area, and I always get nervous around this time for a few reasons.
1) I am trusting my children to strangers. Not just any strangers, sure, but let’s face it, public education has had some shady people working for it and there is always a chance of something going wrong.
2) And this is the usual, one of my children will say very happily “My mom is a witch!” which will then result in either bullying OR on occasion attempts to christianize them. And with all due respect to those people, my children dont need christian guilt and gender roles. or really anything else.
3 ) and this one hasn’t happened yet, but it always could with the way these old biddies are, they can suggest the welfare of my children in a pagan household to be detrimental, and then boom- i have to get involved in some DCFS nonsense that would have me pulling my kids out of that school quicker than you can blink.
It’s a worst case scenario, but as my page name suggests- I have anxiety and anxiety tells me that nothing and no one is safe or trustworthy accept my favorite people. And again, these are strangers.
So.... yeah. *sips coffee*
I have bought the school supplies and now am super poor. I have picked up the wish list items and made all the preparations. I just need to get through this first couple of weeks. Set the routine. Jump through the hoops.
I slept terribly last night. I always sleep terribly the night before this happens.
Hell, I am not even sure the kids will be in physical school for long before they shut down for Covid again at the rate these people are spreading Delta around. I’m watching the numbers go up daily and just biting my nails. I have 1 computer and 3 kids. School at home is going to be fuuuuuuunnnnnnn.
So, Im going to light a candle, throw some obstacle removing incense on the coal, and pray my little heart out to the gods that things go well and that my children will be fine when this is all over. It’s the best that I’ve got.
I wish they would make weed legal here. That’d be like, the biggest help right now. LMAO
If you’d like to support a small business witch in need of school bs money for supplies and fees, please give my shop a peek. It goes a long way in helping me offset costs and keep my goblin babies in dress code.
