When Michael and Matthew where 4 years old we found a really nice Magnet School that our town participates with.The reason we wanted this school had little to do with education but more for past experience with the district and the boys health issues.
Stupid us, we didn't realize that most sign up before the kid is 2 years old..needless to say they wait listed the boys. They even took James information so we didn't make the same mistake twice or three times if you will.
So May I receive a letter with the announcement that James was accepted totally forgetting we even registered him for the school. Happy to say he will be part of their Pre-K program but the boys where # 5 and #6 on the waiting list.
Guess what???
They got in! This is scary at best because while all the safety plans where put in place at the end of last school year--we are going in with nothing. This goes against my safety zone and will have to discuss things tomorrow when I go to pick up some registration papers. The boys are thrilled but sad they won't see their friends of course. I am nervous that we are making a mistake, we know how the school works here and the games/hoops they make you jump. We don't know much about this school other than it has great reviews from parents. Leap of Faith is what we are taking and at least if something happens we don't like we can always go back to our local school.
So I guess I am hitting the work force sooner than expected. This is a mixed blessing because I now have to contend with sickness/snow days/holidays and vacations and still balance working. I am unsure if it will be part or full time, I guess it depends on what I can find that works for the boys and our schedule.
