Awwww.... Pickles....

This is what Tater-tot says when anything doesn't go his way... his version of "aww shucks" I'm guessing he gets it from a tv show.... but maybe he came up with it on his own?!?!?

He's been telling me he doesn't want to go to school a lot lately... there has been a lot of turnover lately and I'm not thrilled with his current teachers "what'shername" and "thatothergirl."

So I called another school (that he was waitlisted for) just to see if we'd moved up the list at all and....


(dramatic pause)

He's in! Starting after the holiday break he'll be attending the FBC Academy in the town where I work. It is one of 2 schools that every parent wants their kid to go to... It's run by a retired teacher and most of the teachers there are retired teachers or have formal training in education!

all the other schools in town are just second best and third rate...

No more spending time at school watching TV (yes! They actually watched about an hour and a half a day AT SCHOOL!!!!) No more having teachers fired because they cuss out an upset parent (this actually happened!) No more having teachers fired because the owner finds out about their drug problem (this happened too!) And like I said - this was the best option available in this small town until now!

SO HIP HIP HURRAY for the new school!

Yay for the new school! I know how much the other one was making you crazy.

I googled Aw Pickles, cause I'm a nerd like that, and it's from Higglytown Heroes, which I'm assuming he watches at the shcool from Hell.

The boys still say "Tartar Sauce!!" occasionally.

That is awesome! I hate waiting lists, well, I just hate waiting =)

And yeah, Higglytown. Oh I need a life.

That is great! I'm glad you were able to get in - it must be a huge relief. Sounds like that other school was terrible. Poor kids!
