The goings-on in this household

Recent drama:

Week before last week (Tuesday) I get a call from Christopher's school that the following Friday the school will be closing. I was speechless on the phone and the receptionist had no additional information to give. There was just silence.
I told my husband that this definitely had to do with finances. I felt so bad for the teachers who would have no job in 1 week. And for the parents who are not as fortunate as I, who would be scrambling to find a new pre-school for their kids in only 1 week!!!

My plan was to head to the school on Monday to talk about the Cap and Gown that I had purchased for the June graduation and if not receive a refund then at least be given his "certificate" so I could take my own photos. Instead 3 days later she calls back saying we have great news, we found an investor and the school will not be closing.

Anyway so I take him to school last Thursday and his teacher runs to me and whispers "Did you bring his cap and gown?" I looked at her puzzled shaking my head I said No and asked why? She explained that in all the confusion they didn't want to kids to "not graduate" (remember they were closing) so they moved up the date. Unfortunately some people never got the phone call, me being one of them.

Since I could make it home and back in 15 minutes and other kids weren't as fortunate, I told them rather than have him use the spares I would run home and get his . Besides I needed my camera. They couldn't stop apologizing. So I flew home with Alyssa and baby Ashleigh grabbed the camera, cap and gown and beamed myself back there.


As you can see I was not dressed for the occasion, nor were my kids. Gosh I look a mess. I'm having one of my hat wearing weeks.

My husband was so upset because his mom, who is currently in Paris for the French Open wanted to come and couldn't attend, his sister also wanted to join us but no one had any notice. He also grew very wary of them saying "how do they know this current investor won't back out this month and take the school's tuition?" and I guess he is right. He was so upset about this rush rush grad business when I called him on my drive home.

He accused the school of being scandalous. I was initially going to send him for the month of June for the graduation then take him out and just continue his studies at home. I wanted to spend some extra time with him before he starts Kindergarten. He is supposed to go tomorrow and I haven't paid as of yet as it's due anytime before the 5th and I can't decide. So we are left with a decision to make. Should we keep him in the school or take him out?

Wow, honestly I think we'd probably not pay for it after all of the drama you went through.

Will be be going to kindergarten this fall? If so I say save your cash and work with him at home! I feel a little uneasy about how the school handled things.

Little Miss was holding that camera like a PRO!!
