REGISTERED!

So after HuffyLady called last week I figured I needed to get over there and register the kiddo for school.

We’re not actually moving in until about two weeks after school starts over there, so I wasn’t sure how strict they would be on the boundary requirements. I decided to keep hush on that little tidbit, and if they noticed well then No Biggie. I was hoping he could start on the first day they open, but if he had to wait until we moved in, ehh. Except for those weeks of child care I would have had to pay for and not use (I called - they won’t prorate)… meanwhile paying for child care actually used… but on the whole I figured what can I do - sometimes you just have to take it.

But, ha HA! I am thinking that sometimes all that racing around that happens in my head can sometimes work out, because TRA LA LA! I don’t think she noticed the date on my lease and the confirmation from the power company (that magically arrived the day after she called - whee!) specified a date that was later than the actual date they start school.

He is registered! At the new school! Which starts sometime soon!

Instead of retreating to our respective tv/computer screens last night, we sat around and chatted. We talked about how I have him all set for the new school, and when he would start.
Later, he tells me: “Mom, I’m just feeling weird inside. Like, in my stomach. Kind of like I’m going to throw up, but not really, and also kind of hungry. But I just ate so I know I’m not really hungry.”

I know that feeling SO well.

“Sweetie, that’s not really your stomach. Those are your nerves.”

WOO HOO! HIP HIP HOOORAAY! So glad they didn’t take the time to notice dates on the huge pile of paperwork they require to register your kid for ELEMENTARY SCHOOL!

Kiddo is soooooo your child.. I love it! PS.. you are getting some quality time together now while feeding your computer/video game addiction right? LOL

Hee hee, yes, we do a little bit of video game bonding. Also tv watching bonding. One of our current favorites is Supernanny. AWESOME show to watch together. Opens up discussions about how we do things in our family. Shows me it could be a heck of a lot worse. Shows him that I’m not just a ranting biatch… there’s a reason I do what I do.
