Klio in Kindergarten
Not yet, but it's looming. Last week I dragged my flu suffering self to an informational meeting at one of the local alternative schools here. I guess it's a charter school. I'm not sure what that means. It's lottery to get into and has a stated emphasis on emotional and social development. I loved the place. The teachers were amazing, the community focus I love, the other parents...kind of annoying. We'll see. Matt's going to the next informational meeting. He'll have a more critical eye. He went to an alternative school in Corte Madera and loved it, but the transition to a more conventional school in 5th grade was very jarring. Going down that path is a commitment.
Last week was terrible. Actually, the last couple of weeks have been rough because of illnesses, migraines and problems between Matt and I. It all started with a discussion about the yard. I'm trying really hard to be 'green' and our leaf-blowing landscape guy makes it hard. I asked him not to leaf blow and to use our electric mower and he won't go for it. Anyway, it almost felt like Matt and I were going to break up over me wanting to get rid of all the lawn. If we were childless and in our 20s, we just might have...but we know better now.
This week has been great! My crazy mom is here. I feel good. I saw my neurologist and he's trying different approaches to get rid of my migraines and he doesn't see any symptoms of my meningioma causing problems so I don't have to get another MRI until late summer. The Free Choir had a very fun, very crowded show at Tradition's with Kimya Dawson, Dave End and Eleanor Murray. Dave End is fantastic. Kimya was in the process of recording with friends and invited the choir to sing back up on a few songs last night. Tons of us showed up. OF COURSE. The choir is the best. Everyone should move to Olympia just to be in it.
OH and my dad is getting me fiddle lessons for my birthday. Not at all what I need, but really nice of him.
The kids are loving and really fun to hang out with.
Spring must be around the corner.
