A Mother's Vigilance
In a small, close-knit town nestled among rolling hills, there lived a woman named Sarah. She was known for her kindness, her warm smile, and her dedication to her family. Sarah had two children, Emily, a spirited eight-year-old, and Ethan, a curious four-year-old. Life was idyllic in their town until one winter, an invisible menace threatened to disrupt their peaceful existence: the norovirus.It all began when news of a norovirus outbreak in a neighboring town reached Sarah's ears. She had heard of this highly contagious virus before, but it had never hit so close to home. Panic spread faster than the virus itself, and soon, Sarah's town was on high alert. The schools were closed, businesses shut down, and gatherings canceled. Fear had taken hold, and uncertainty hung in the air.Sarah, a practical woman, knew she needed to protect her family. She immersed herself in research, learning all she could about norovirus prevention strategies. Armed with knowledge, she began implementing a stringent regimen in their household.The first and foremost strategy Sarah adopted was frequent handwashing. She taught Emily and Ethan the importance of washing their hands with soap and warm water for at least twenty seconds. Emily embraced this new routine, singing "Happy Birthday" twice to ensure she washed long enough, while Ethan needed some playful encouragement.Sarah also became a vigilant disinfectant. Every surface in their home was wiped down with disinfecting wipes multiple times a day. She even created a hand-sanitizing station near the front door, where anyone entering the house was required to disinfect their hands.The family's diet underwent a transformation as well. Sarah stocked up on fresh fruits and vegetables, emphasizing the importance of a healthy diet for a strong immune system. She cooked hearty, immunity-boosting meals, hoping it would fortify her family's defenses.To further protect her loved ones, Sarah limited their exposure to the outside world. They ventured out only when necessary, and when they did, masks were a must. Emily and Ethan were initially resistant to the idea of masks, but Sarah, with her endless patience, turned it into a game. They wore superhero masks and pretended to be saving the world from the invisible villain - the norovirus.The days turned into weeks, and the family adapted to their new way of life. Emily continued her schoolwork remotely, and Ethan's preschool lessons were conducted through video calls. Their home became a haven of safety in a world gripped by uncertainty.But as the pandemic persisted, Sarah couldn't help but notice the toll it was taking on her children. Emily missed her friends, and Ethan longed for the playground. She realized that while protecting their physical health was crucial, their emotional well-being was equally important.So, Sarah decided to create moments of joy amidst the chaos. They had indoor picnics, movie nights, and craft sessions. Sarah fostered a sense of togetherness that transcended physical boundaries, reminding her children that love could conquer even the most formidable of foes.One chilly evening, as the three of them sat by the fireplace, Sarah told them a story. It was a story of courage, resilience, and the power of a mother's love. She spoke of a brave knight who set out on a quest to protect his kingdom from a menacing dragon. The knight faced many challenges and obstacles, but he never gave up. He fought with all his might to keep his loved ones safe.As Sarah spun the tale, Emily and Ethan's eyes shone with wonder. They saw their mother as the hero of their own story, battling the invisible dragon of norovirus to protect their family. The story became a nightly ritual, a reminder that they were not alone in this fight.Months turned into a year, and finally, there was a glimmer of hope. Vaccines were developed, and slowly, life began to return to a semblance of normalcy. The schools reopened, and businesses started welcoming customers once again.With cautious optimism, Sarah continued her preventive measures. Handwashing, disinfecting, and mask-wearing were still part of their daily routine. She knew that even as they emerged from the darkness, the dragon of norovirus could still rear its head.As the years passed, the town began to heal, and the memories of that challenging time became stories told around dinner tables. Sarah's family, like the knight in her tales, had weathered the storm together. Their bond had grown stronger, and the lessons they had learned would stay with them for a lifetime.And so, in this small, close-knit town nestled among rolling hills, the legacy of a mother's vigilance lived on. Sarah's unwavering dedication to her family's safety had not only protected them from harm but had also shown them the strength that love and resilience could bring, even in the face of an invisible menace.

How Task Responsibility Decides 'Fairness' in Relationships
Many men are often blind to the connection between how few chores they do and how their partners feel about them! Yet if a woman feels like a servant in the relationship, it will affect her perception of her value and the intimacy of the union. Being the sole person to clean the toilet and wash the floors is definitely not an aphrodisiac, or any kind of turn-on! The message you send to your spouse when you do very little around the house is mainly one of a lack of respect for her or him. When there is a feeling of mutual respect and appreciation, both partners tend to give more and the relationship prospers.

The Decision To Homeschool
So let's just be clear. I understand the hardship there is on teachers. I am a substitute for a public Pre-K. Meaning it's government funded, and there's a lot of stuff we have to do in order to stay licensed and blah blah blah. I understand that teachers of public school systems are underpaid, overworked, held to extreme standards, policies, and rules, and being a teacher is just flat out fucking stressful - no matter grade you teach.
