I appreciated it very much, and of course it's the opposite of rude to make a school suggestion to me. cheers, DHthe Drunken Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14606104534453493304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324039.post-38636735676886013282011-01-05T15:59:24.146-08:002011-01-05T15:59:24.146-08:00Have you considered checking out public elementary...Have you considered checking out public elementary schools for Lola (I'm not intending to be rude here, just raising a possibility)? My kids are at Miraloma, which has a couple of spots open in 3rd grade (ie you could take a spot tomorrow, if you wanted). The class is filled with lots of bright kids - several were independently reading and fully understanding Harry Potter books in Kindergarten, for example. From your descriptions of your girls, Lola would certainly fit right in with this group.<br /><br /> I'm very happy with the education my kids are getting (can't detect any difference between them and their private school friends), and the parent community is wonderful. And, with the tuition you save, you may be able to take that international vacation you're longing for!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324039.post-3607674022220553662011-01-02T14:28:07.789-08:002011-01-02T14:28:07.789-08:00Feh.

The ones we get are from our overachieving cousins (one on each side, so it's balanced) detailing the high level of goal attainment and transcendent good times they've had all year. They are both golden girls with lovely families, plenty of discretionary income, and impressive resumes. I hate em both. And I have a bad case of blogger's arm, btw.Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07028236160410626058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324039.post-62972794912523918252010-12-29T22:55:44.702-08:002010-12-29T22:55:44.702-08:00Bah, your kids rock!

Give me a couple of wickedly sarcastic gamers over ADULT black-belt wearing silversmiths Any Day!!<br /><br />Please, please, please send out a New Year letter that highlights all of your failures this year. It would be a riot and everyone would LOVE it. I find those "Look at us!" letters to be just plain obnoxious and I'm glad none of my slacker friends or family could ever begin to write one.<br /><br />PS - I developed a severe case of Nintendo Thumb while staying at my Aunt's house when I was about 14. She was the first person I knew who owned a Mario game and she had to have been 40 at that time.Jen in ORnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324039.post-86144721701240820632010-12-29T21:18:49.376-08:002010-12-29T21:18:49.376-08:00Let me point out that your kids are exuberantly ha...Let me point out that your kids are exuberantly happy, uniquely creative, and caring individuals whose parents love them to pieces.

I got a couple of fillings & a crown, as well as a cleaning, and I think my mouth is healthy right now. <br /><br />You do have a point though, that my immune system shouldn't be this crappy. I know the vector of this latest cold: it went from girl-in-Iris's-class-who-went-to-school-sick-as-a-dog to Iris to me. Other illnesses, though, are more mysterious.the Drunken Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14606104534453493304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324039.post-3002073417647076842010-12-28T07:42:52.169-08:002010-12-28T07:42:52.169-08:00I'm sorry that you hurt your arm, but that las...I'm sorry that you hurt your arm, but that last paragraph had me laughing out loud.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324039.post-281771664583121492010-12-27T17:34:11.795-08:002010-12-27T17:34:11.795-08:00Given your dental history, I am sorry to say it so...Given your dental history, I am sorry to say it sounds like you have a low grade infection somewhere, likely a tooth.
