I, too, work in a middle school and when people ask me how my year is going I tell them I am having a great year--I haven't been assaulted, had a weapon brought into the library, had my family threatened, or had my car windows smashed out (in the school parking lot during the middle of the day). All happened to me last year.
ugh. please stay safe. can you give a spare set of keys to a neighbor (just in case) after your husband deploys?
