Did you like going to school?

I didn't mind going.

I loved coming home in the evenings.

Some of the time, I liked it when I was actually there, too. Depended what subjects were timetabled.

It depended. I was not thrilled with High School but I loved college. I think that being around more people that actually wanted to learn made the difference.

All except Junior High, which was in a rough neighborhood and full of...well, let's just say it was "organized."

I didn't grade school at all. I was extremely shy which made me the perfect target for bullies. I really really hated high school because of the social pressures and again the bullies. I dropped out in my Junior year, not soon enough!
I loved College.

Loved elementary school, liked/hated middle school, loved high school, though I also loved sleeping in, so I did cut class sometimes. Loved college, except for the tests and the papers. ;) But the reading and the discussion, that part was great.

I loved school up to about 3rd grade when I started struggling with reading, and it was pretty down hill from there. There was generally at least one class I loved in Jr High per year, and high school... well it all sucked, except Band and my Science classes, and well I sucked at Band but it was still fun.

I did like going to school, although I went through a brief phase of begging my parents to send me to a private, conservative Christian school. Thank God they didn't listen.

Mostly. First, I enjoyed learning, then later I liked hanging out with the stoners, then in college I figured out how to do a little of both.

Not at the time, but I wish I could be there now. Well, not there there. I hated that school, but another school would be nice.

Onward

The end of the school year, finally! Did I tell you that my son went to public school this past year? Did I tell you that my daughter was in a regular Kinder classroom this year? Although it was nice to have them both in school, there were definitely things I was not so hip on, such as having to wake up at 5:20 every morning just to get everyone out the door on time.  And then after all the driving and dropping off, going to work. Such fun! I had forgotten the dreariness of having to complete mounds and mounds of homework (even though new research has shown that homework, especially for Kinder, is for shit).  Of constant deadlines and fundraisers and things I am supposed to volunteer for. My daughter had a good year, but was definitely not without its bumps. Her teacher, an older, highly experienced, practical woman with a Master's in Education, kept referring to my daughter as an "inclusion student."  It wasn't her name or just "student" but was

Fallen Between the Cracks

Why did I stop writing here? With the grace of 20/20 hindsight, there were a LOT of reasons. My daughter's journey would get tougher and tougher, and as I added work into the mix of raising two kids, it was one more thing I just didn't have time for. And well, that work thing.  It sure does suck a lot of free time away, doesn't it?  Even though I am still only part time. I will be honest, as much as I adored all the people on the blogosphere that were kind enough to grace me with their wit and time, I just could not keep up with the constant commenting that I felt was only fair to these wonderful people.   So instead, what did I do? I did what any self respecting coward would do. I ghosted, of course. Not that I think my absence was enough to cause people to be distressed, but I feel badly if anyone felt slighted. Even as I write this, I feel like I am being waaaay too self important.  Isn't that the whole point of a blog, though?  Nobody writes a blog that doesn't

Apples and Oranges

Perhaps some of you may have noticed, but the real estate market is beginning a tumble in prices that benefit us, prospective buyers. And we're going to wait. That is cold, cold comfort to those such as J and Py , who are attempting to sell their place as we speak. But, we're not going to wait too much longer, if that makes them feel any better. There is no sense trying to time the bottom of the market, and we have been putting off moving, oh, since Mr. P was born because of the huge runup in prices. So huge that at one point, we could barely afford to buy our own place from ourselves. We should be ok even if we sell at a lower price than we could have gotten say, two years ago. We have, however, a dilemma. We have narrowed our choices down to two cities. And we are stuck there. We just can't figure out which city is better, and they are oh-so-different. Let me give you a rundown. City 1 Older, smaller houses (in our price range) Larger lots Beach city Infrastructure
