No way I would've done that at 8 months preggo with my second child. For some unfathomable reason, they went back to the lottery despite a successful on-line registration process. You'd be the hero of parents everywhere if you solved this practice!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15789336544560965857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6628264964152732706.post-11120033722504728492013-11-08T19:23:48.162-05:002013-11-08T19:23:48.162-05:00Similar but unrelated - To enroll my daughter in s...Similar but unrelated - To enroll my daughter in school next year I was told I do not have to camp out like the other parents do because it is very likely that I will get in if I show up at the crack of dawn during the "pre-enrollment" time that is really dumb because you really should be able to do it all online anyway...!arielsnapphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07032690024081258763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6628264964152732706.post-87484775896300012862013-11-08T16:09:47.209-05:002013-11-08T16:09:47.209-05:00That makes perfect sense!

It got cancelled for the same reason, and I remember it being a pretty huge crushing blow.

Big, heartfelt post...I'm here ...WOW, big post. Big, heartfelt post...I'm here for you sister. You are very transparent and honest here, with everything from the new look of your blog to the less shrowded nature of your writing. For the first time I felt sad that we didn't stick around DC longer with our kids. Sure, we have it to visit, with my mom still there, but we don't share the memories you talk about. I'm glad you've had such a rich life in DC and Chicago. I can only hope you'll give Boston a second chance. We'll do our best to make it home. Though it's hard to rival some of the things your leaving behind. For one, the Franklin Park Zoo is a bit of a dog, and you have to pay to go. Same goes for most of our museums...wait, make that ALL of our museums. But at least many are world-class. We don't have the White House but our State House is pretty cute. No significant memorials, unless you count the one to Robert McCloskey on our Public Gardens. But do not go quietly into that goodnight, you'll find new memories, make new life-long friends (maybe even live near by some old ones)...and have family, actual blood relatives as close (or far) as yo need them to be.
