Ghosted Love

I never got to meet you.

You never got to hold me.

I was a fool

falling for you.

You were so confused.

Wife

children

how could I compete?

Your voice

I heard

I felt to my core

dreaming of days to come

when I would be yours.

Feel your lips.

Feel your hands.

Feel you.

I knew with certainty

that this would fail

whatever it is that we had

and again 

proven right

realizing I have no recourse

no tears can I shed

in remorse.

It is not a wonder

family for you

always shall come first

recognize that I can.

What I fell for 

a fantasy

a dream

never to be achieved

realized

I must accept.

I fell in love with a dream.

I mourn a ghost

for I knew you not.

I Am Done!

This is insane. We are a city of 20000+ and this woman makes these asinine demands. She also created two protests, petition and demands the school board resign if not accepted.

She also threatened parents will pull their children from schools, teachers will quit or go on leave, substitutes will not be found. Children in school system will fail.

By all means pull those kids from school. I don’t need them around my son.

Quit because you don’t want to wear a mask? Where are you going to work now?

Go on stress leave over a mask? Doctors are savvy just saying. As are insurance companies. When I was on leave I had to see my doctor bi-weekly to monitor and see when I could resume going back to work. No substitutes? I will volunteer. And I am sure there are others who would do so as well.

4000 parents and children protested. Now kids can’t really protest when they are 5-10 year age range unless truly into a cause. I know kids that age who kick ass but vast majority are still thinking and feeling as their parents tell them to.

Such a small portion of the population making life miserable for the rest of us in our community. Do they think we all want to run around masked? I would love to run out quickly to grab groceries or something from Coop next door without first putting my contacts in.

Maybe they would like to have a hot flash while wearing a mask.

I met with T’s teacher Tuesday and same as before. Masks are required in class unless proper social distancing can be maintained. Gym and recess masks obviously can be removed.

So two hours at most between breaks. I wear mine for 8 hours a day. Sometimes longer if I also have errands to run. Surgeons wear masks for hours on end yet not one of them complains.

This is selfishness pure and simple. Grow up. Do not make demands that the school board can do nothing about because it is a public health mandate. But those who are so superior think that make demands snap my fingers and get it done.

I am beginning to find it harder and harder to keep my mouth shut. There maybe a day soon folks where I end up on the front page of our local paper as the woman who fought back.
