My experience with that kind of transition is that the problem is usually I'm holding on to an idea of myself which is no longer viable.
Yeah, I think a lot of this. It's made more complex by the fact that it's music, which is of course strongly tied to identity. But the truth is, music is more a part of my life than ever before, and it has nothing to do with the paying lessons. And you know, even if I weren't able to identify as a musician at all, it would be meaningless to my value as a human being. Okay, brain imps? So calm down.
So, the preschool at Grattan looked at all our financial numbers for last year and this year, and looked at Emmett's birth certificate and calculated our payment based on a four member family in San Francisco and came up with this number: $20.20/day.
So for the 19 school days we've got in October it will be $383.80. Which is about a third of what we're currently paying for three days a week of preschool.
This includes lunch, and we'll also get an automatic entry into the kindergarten into one of the most sought after schools in the SF elementary school system.
A really nice break for us after a couple hard years.
I think my plan to ease Matilda into the transition is to spend some of that savings on bribing her way to happiness.
David, that is wonderful news!
Hot damn Hec, I think that qualifies as a YAY!
Excellent news on the school, Hec!

Daaaaaaaamn. That is SUCH good news for Family Zmayhem!
good times.
I have spent all day today on 3 invoices. Yesterday was all day on one invoice. Not such good times. But still something is something and that's better than nothing.
Co-op closing now scheduled for Wednesday.
That's wonderful news for you guys - congratulations JZ, Hec & Matilda!
This weekend I will be co-op teacher's assistant at the monthly free Saturday art classes at HKFan's school, then going to the school's picnic, where I will teach, from the looks of it, an origami craft. All, hopefully, without any more assistance from my medicine cabinet. So hooray, yay origami cups, baskets and (obviously) fortune tellers.
We were hoping to go to Baltimore this weekend, but the thought of being in a car that long makes me nauseous and stabby, so maybe we will chill here.
