| | Cold today! We even got a little snow! It was nice to sit in church and watch it snowing outside. Made me feel all peaceful and happy. Whenever I see snow like that I hear the soundtrack from A Charlie Brown Christmas in my head. I was feeling so good I went a volunteered for the church care committee. I'm on the list to call if someone needs a meal made and delivered. My Nana used to that at her church. Even when she was old and bent she'd drive out in that hard Wisconsin winter weather and take meals to the "shut-ins". She said that fewer and fewer people helped with that sort of thing over the years. Said the young people didn't have time for it. I'm not so young anymore, but I figure it's not too late to take her not so subtle hint to heart.
M.E.'s school announced one of their most beloved teachers- who currently teachers fourth grade- is going to move down and teach first grade next year. Last month another homeschooler/former Waldorfarian told me if this particular teacher was going to teach her daughter's grade level next year, she'd scrape up the money to send her back to Waldorf -and this was the only teacher for whom she'd do that. This week Bee and I talked and pretty much decided next year we'd homeschool M., and now they went and did this. Those dirty dogs! It has been nice to have the best of both worlds for the last two years, but it also means next year she's going to lose one. Waldorf seems like a lovely place to go and spend the day, bit it's expensive and I'm also not thrilled about the idea of my six year old child being away from home for over 7 hours a day! What the hell do they need to teach her that she needs to be there for that long? They do let them out at lunchtime on Thursdays.
I need to go clean. My house is a mess. My damn house is always a mess.
