Oh the irony?!?!

So remember how in my last post I lamented about all the crazy from the summer and I was all like, "Hey Summer 2013, I'm over you..."  Ha to the ha ha, because summer 2013 was NOT over me.  On Thursday (as in the Thursday before school starts on Monday so like 2 business day, 4 calendar days) we got a phone call... Our school has made the difficult decision to close our doors, effective immediately.

yeah.............

So.... within the next 4 hours I called in every single favor I've ever been good for, and exactly 4 hours later, Greyson was enrolled in my first choice of back-up plan schools, new supplies bought, new uniforms purchased and ready for meet and greet on Friday.  Apparently I work well under pressure, I won't lie and say that there were not tears, snot, panic and many a crazy lady phone call, but still - 4 hours!!

I don't blame the teachers, or really most of the administrative staff, they were all shocked too... I blame good ole' GREED and even though we paid through the nose to send our kid to that school, they have a mighty profitable piece of property and an offer came in to lease it and well the higher ups decided that it was silly to care about those of us that supported them when they could make twice as much off of strangers...

So now I say, Summer 2013 bring it!!  Because I got this, I've got all of this and what ever you throw at me, I not only got it, I got in 4 hours or less....


Greyson will be going to a very large new school.... We met his teacher and a few classmates and we have some friends there already so he's feeling pretty good.  I know that in no time he'll know his way around and how it all works.  Plus you can bet that this momma will be all up in the PTO and volunteering daily to keep an eye on things...

We're learning to roll with the punches and that we can't always live in the safe little cocoon I work so dang hard to always have surrounding us.  We're coming out tougher and stronger and with great sarcastic story telling capabilities...

One last day of summer break - hopefully the sun will shine and we can park our toes and Greyson's broken (ok hairline fractured) hip in the warm sand and appreciate just a little of summer 2013.
