I'm so pleased for you, Ewag. That sounds awesome. The schools in the Philly suburbs are certainly impressive. We regularly go past an elementary school that looks like a college campus. I have twinges of wanting to move there, but I really need the walkable neighborhood so I don't end up hermitizing myself. I hope LittleSirEwag has a fantastic time.
Ha - my colleges didn't even look like college campuses! But I know what you mean. I can also completely understand wanting to avoid the suburban sprawl. We're both lucky - PA overall has a really good school system. Are you in the Philly SD? I hear they have some amazing charter schools, though I'm less familiar than with the ones in Montco.

Thanks, guys! LSE did AWESOME today meeting his teachers and classmates! We had a really rough morning but as soon as we arrived at school he lit up like a Christmas tree and immediately started playing with the other kids. It's on an old farm, with a barn and such which was a big hit ("Mommy, Old MacDonald's farm??" - said with the level of excitement only a 3 year old can muster!). He was very upset when we had to leave - "Please, Mommy, more school?" It was cute - hoping that he does as well (though he'll probably do better) when I start dropping him off next week!

Zim, I love your son. Sorry the twerp is being twerpy.

We have to clean the house for a funeral tomorrow on the off chance someone might want to stop by since our house is just down the road.
Another bad day at school with the children yesterday. You wouldn't believe what happened if I told you. All I can say is that age descrimination truly exists. It was terrible.
I'm just getting into my zen place. I'll be damned if I'm going to let a little snot ruin my day. Life is too short.
Yay, breakfast buffet, and boo funeral. I'm sorry for your loss. I'm also sorry you have a twerp at school to deal with, too. Want me to come kick him or her for you? I might be 8 months pregnant but I still have my steel-toed boots.

That made me laugh. Needed it. Thanks.
Yes, Monsoon Season is almost over so we are nearing the end of our Haboobs. This has been a particularly active year. Even the natives are surprised.
FR -I did comment on it! You are really way behind. It gets really good around the Christmas Episode 2005, late 2004 and all of 2005. I do not want to reveal much because the storylines with Sharon and Dennis, Johnny Allen, Dirty Den, Kat, Alfie and Zoe are really good. Those were some great episodes and it was my very first Christmas in England.
Dew another haboob???
RK--uggh but at least the kids are happy. Its the same thing here when my mom says she is coming to visit.
