This Week

This week on Tuesday my mom will be having a surgery on her thyroid. There's a lump, or something on there. The doctors are planning on taking it off, sending it down to the pathology department to have it tested for cancer, and if it is cancer - taking out the entire thyroid. Seems to be a pretty common thing - having your thyroid removed. As a matter of fact - a friend of mine's mom just had her's removed. And everything went well. I'm worried though. The last surgery my mom had a few months ago (totally unrelated) went a little longer because her blood pressure dropped while they were operating. So, I'm really hoping for a smooth surgery this time. That's Tuesday.

**News Flash**
While we were in Disney World - many outraged parents showed up at the February Board Meeting and the School Board voted once again on the preschool program I teach. This time to keep the program - with some changes. (Basically, instead of working 3 whole days I'd work 5 half days - still, perfectly balanced with my home life and awesome.)

So, this Friday is registration for that preschool program. Except in order to have a program next year at least 16 children need to register for MWF mornings and 10 for Tues/Thurs mornings. And - these parents - who have already gone through quite a bit regarding this program - are being asked to pay the entire year's tuition 30 days after registration. That's $1100 or $1600 the school wants to collect upfront. That's a lot of cash. I'm really hoping that enough parents can manage that. I really do love teaching preschool - I love the school I'm in - and of course, I love that balance.
