Excitment!

I have been running around all day today getting things ready for Matthew to change schools. Next Tuesday will be his first day at his new school. He is so excited. I am so excited. I don't know who is more excited. I have met with several of the teachers. Matthew already knows about five of the teachers there since they moved to this school from his previous one. He also knows several of the people who substitute teach. Everyone is so positive there and no one is afraid that as soon as they walk in the door the principal will start yelling at them. One of the teachers who used to work with our troubled principal actually said that to me today. That she doesn't go back to the other school because she doesn't want to be yelled at by the principal for walking in the door. If a teacher feels that way is there any doubt that the students feel it too? I am so thankful that this has worked out. I know we are not the only family moving our student to another school because of this beast of a woman who rules the school like a micr-managing control freak. I am just glad we could find a place that had room and the wonderful atmosphere that is conducive to learning.

I took Matthew over to look around the school and meet his new teacher. When we left I asked him if he had any questions and his comment was only that he didn't want to wait a whole week to start. He wants to start today. We walked around the school and everyone we met knew who Matthew was and said how excited they are to have him there. He met the librarian who showed him where all the different types of book are and made him promise to come check out some books on his first day of school next week. He said he was so happy his face hurt from smiling. Now that is just what every parent wants to hear about the school their child attends.

I feel like I have been able to conquer a major crisis, now if I could only find the solution to world peace. Ha Ha. Just kidding. I will be happy to get dinner on the table at a decent hour and get to my young women activity on time tonight. If I can accomplish that then I will be satisfied that I have done a good days work. All in the life of a mom.
