Pamy, school/profits? Sorry, that does not compute. In this day and age I've not heard of one school that isn't in the red.

Pamy, maybe you guys as a group could find another church that has a school and see if you can combine those grades and move your kids as a group, or at least threaten to do that?

I suspect Dylan will adapt well, plus having been through that change once, he may adapt better when time comes for jr high or high school.

But I would also be pissed, in your position.

Our district went to a different structure. A few years ago they created "intermediate" schools - 5th & 6th grades. So my 6-yr old will attend 4 diff schools before she graduates. K-4, 5-6, 7-8 (middle school), & 9-12. And that doesn't count pre-school. Everytime I think about it my head hurts.

I was hit by a car today while walking to the train. Yes, pedestrian vs car, and the damned Mercedes won. Can I just gripe about how sore I am and how pissed I am that she hit me? She stopped at the stop light to turn left, I swear she saw me, and turned right on to me.

And yes, I have a doctor's appt. My entire left side is very sore.

DAMN PEOPLE!!!! Watch where you are DRIVING!!!

Omg (((Costa)))). Since you're typing this I'm guessing you weren't seriously hurt like broken bones and stuff. I hope she stopped and you got her information.

Holy Crap Costa! I hope you got her information! Never know when you might have a hairline fracture or soft tissue injury that gets worse after the fact! And I hope a cop was involved!

Hi all. Thanks for the messages... I'm OK, just a lot of soft tissue damage. No fractures or broken bones. The doc has told me to stay home until Xmas. It hurts to type for very long (I can't keep my left arm raised), but I'm gonna try and get back to work on Wednesday.

The woman who hit me is a "train friend." I see her on the northbound commute a couple of times a week. She's very nice, and even more upset than me. Then again, it may not have all sunk in what happened to me. It was 6am, very dark, and she was turning left onto a one way street. I swear she looked right at me, but...

Thanks!

Seriously, so glad things weren't worse. Phew! You are very lucky, and should count your blessings right about now. I am so happy that there are no fractures, or worse. A friend of mine was crossing a street once and a car sent her flying and she broke her left arm, leg, and pelvis! She has metal in all those areas now, and we tease her and call her the bionic woman. She is incredible, she recovered beautifully but it took several months of rehab.

My dh always gets upset at night with folks who wear dark colours... hopefully you wear bright colours that can be seen clearly by drivers at night.

One last thought, as someone who lives with chronic pain... you might want to consider therapeutic massage for all the muscles that have surely seized up by the accident. Maybe the 'nice' lady's insurance will cover it.

Keep us posted on your recovery...

That's a scary situation watching a car coming toward you. I hope you will feel better real soon, Costa!

i think god has it out for me. i don't have any monthly business for 4 months, and i think... ohhhh finally i'm gonna get through changing.... NOOOOOOoooooooo today, back to the monthly, and it's worse than when i was a teenager. i swear i feel like i'm about to give birth. these cramps are worse than contractions. and i haven't had PMS in months, and right now, i'm about to go postal! last night was the crying jag. i dropped a fork and sobbed on the floor. all i got out of chuck was "i thought you were finished with that" let's just say he got an earful!

i've bitched at more motorists. i felt like keying a car on a lady who took my parking spot at starbucks this morning. and now i'm at work. good thing i don't have any coworkers.

darn landi. try a heating pad. sometimes i've had to use a heating pad while blasting the air-conditioning. it was so strange to read your post, landi. it's been 4 months (i'll need to check my calendar) since my last "monthly business". i've been hoping i'm done with it too. i'll be so mad if i get an unexpected "present" for Christmas/New year.

i feel for you.

I had hysterectomy at age 43. Fine with me. No physical or emotional problems with it. Co-worker at the time who'd also had hyst said she missed the monthly.... Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?!!! She loco!
