RN June 12th. We get 3 weeks for both winter and spring breaks plus they get what seems like a ton of days off and half days for teacher conferences, teacher inservices and stuff like that. Seems like they don't get as much time off as traditional schedules but actually they are equal, ours is just spread out a little more throughout the year.

RN, I'm looking up everyone's birthday I know for this site. Tells you what the number one song was on the day you were born. Pretty cool! Mine was "Without You" by Nilsson #1 Song on your Birthday!

Right now ... Wargod Nick starts school August 21st. It's early this year for us as well but they've added an additional weeks holiday in October. Congrats on being so ready! We haven't even heard from the school yet with the list of supplies.

RN: our school contracts with a vendor that for a nominal cost (seriously it's probably cheaper than shopping myself) that you tell them what grade your kid's in and the entire list of needed supplies is delivered to your child's classroom on the first day of school!!! I love it

RN Nick, we got the school supply list with the last report cards last year. They want to make sure we're ready, lol. Here Walmart and Kmart (not sure about Target) also hang up lists for the schools and grade levels that give em lists. RN Scoot, that set up would definitely avoid standing in the middle of an aisle at Walmart while one kidlet whines they want kitties on all their folders and the other one complains there is no blue ones and mom says through clenched teeth, "Just get the damn folders that cost .15, they're no different than the ones with kitties on them and who cares if it's green instead of blue, it's 15 cents!!!!!!!!"

RN, it's a good day in my house! I was able to get Veteran's dependent indemnity compensation for my Mom. We got a nice retroactive check dating back to December 1, 2007. My Dad died at 61 years of age, and it was attributed to the radiation exposure he endured while in the service. He was a PT boat driver at Bikini Atoll, driving Navy personnel back and forth from the islands where the atom bomb was first tested. He basically spent 2 years in the hull of a boat filled with radiation exposed men. My Mom is going to get a check monthly for the rest of her life. Also, full medical coverage, and nursing home coverage should she ever require that. She has done well enough financially, but this is some icing on the cake money! We're planning on having some fun with the retro check she received 2 days ago. We paid off her truck today, and are going to get her new carpeting, linoleum for her kitchen, and all new furniture. Got her all new clothes last week, too. I have a plumber coming the end of the week to put all new faucets in her house. She has never spent any money on herself her whole life. I'm making sure she does now. I know that my Dad was looking out for us from Heaven and made this happen. Nobody in my entire county has EVER received DIC payments for a WWII veteran serving during A-bomb testing. Oh, and chinese food tonight, yee-haw!
