busy exam week

yet another exhausting and mentally draining week...is it too much to hope for that our kids can carry a decent conversation? apparently, it is! ok, enough said!

on the homefront, i am relieved that my baby got into the school of our choice! haha! i know what some friends will say - "closet elitist"! but i think it's really important where my kids go to because they'll be spending a lot of time there with their friends. just the week before i saw a group of very young girls, who cannot be more than twelve or thirteen, being escorted out of a store at Parkway. Their escorts? Some five to six strapping young policemen. One of the girls looked as if she was handcuffed. I wonder if shoplifting constituted their idea of a thrilling Wednesday afternoon? I was devastated to say the least being a parent and an educator myself...
