Crying

Yeah, I'm not ashamed to admit it, I've been crying like a big, old bawl baby.

Why? Because it's pretty much a done deal that this damn school district I'm in is going to close another building and then squash kids in to one of the elementary schools. The elementary school my children attend, to be exact.

I cried out of anger and frustration, over the fact that this damn administration is essentially squeezing our collective nuts because we won't vote to have a levy passed. Who's suffering most? The kids.

And I'm feeling selfish because we moved here. I wanted to have a new house and my husband home every night, we wanted a lot of land and no neighbors, so here we are. The school district sucks ass and I moved my kids out of a great district (the one I went to) just so I could have a nicer house. Selfish!

So what are my alternatives? I could open enroll the kids in the next district or I can home school. Private school is, economically, out of the question right now.

What I really want to do is scream and yell at the school board. Do you know what I'd get for my troubles? "We'll take it under advisement," which basically means "Piss off, asshole."
