And tomorrow I’m taking Mike to the Open House at the public Kindergarten he’s been wait-listed for. (His name was 7th of 14 to be chosen for “overflow.” Fuckers.)
And I have no idea how to explain any of this to him. “Um, honey, we’re going to go visit a kindergarten. Not your kindergarten, per se, but a kind of sample kindergarten.”
Because there’s a good chance, but not 100%, that he will in fact get to go to this school I have to walk a very fine line about the details. I still haven’t figured out what I’m going to tell him, so I’ve told him nothing.
Oh, and don’t get me started about having moved to this city 10 years ago just so we would live somewhere that had good neighborhood schools. The houses aren’t cheap and the taxes are substantial. The district has known that enrollment was sharply increasing for years and refuses to open a new school…
So I’m just saying that this week had better start looking up soon.
