Yep, I slept in my car to ensure that both of my girls would go to the best preschool in town and I would do it again in a second. And yes, I know I'm nuts.

Homeschooling may not be for everyone, but when I think of the hassles and expenses we're evading this time around, it makes my head cold in March seem much, much better. :) <br /><br />Glad she got a spot, though. Afternoon is tricky for some kids but for others it's actually the best choice.

I will be leaving work EACH DAY next week to come and get my mail hoping to get that ever-so-important registration form in the mail. Then I have to mail it back the EXACT same day and hope and pray the mailman puts OUR registration at the top of the pile in the preschool's mailbox. The preschool will not accept hand-delivered forms. <br /><br />Yes, at $3.39/gallon, I'm driving home EVERY DAY next week from work. Let's hope it comes on Monday. <br /><br />I'm sure that it will be worth it for Sophie.

Of course, it is also likely that some people with morning slots are psychos who waited in line at five preschools and something might open up.

That is exactly how our preschool is here, too. My son was accepted into the program (um, yeah I was a 8am mom) but then because of his speech delay he was referred to a different school. It was devastating after all of the work it took to get him in. Now I have to face the same thing with my 3 year old (no speech delay) next week! Eeeek... and a move in 3.5 weeks.
