The Kathleen Riessen Show  Imagine your school-aged kids are at home and it's lunch time. Your office is right next to the kitchen so you can hear everything happening. Your children quietly enter the kitchen without fighting, grab the peanut butter, jelly, bread and veggies (of course!) and prepare their meal. They sit down and eat while barely making a peep. All of a sudden you wake up and realize it was all a dream! Parents are at an all-time exhausted point and are counting the days until children "maybe" go back to school. With the new DELTA variant, no one is sure what to expect and it's leaving parents drained with a lack of focus.
