3:09 pm


We have been in the hotel for 2 days. Like I mean 48 hours total. It's been up and down. Day one, not so great. Yesterday was fine. This morning we went to the kid's new schools. Ethan and Grace can't register until next week. This week is the special "no one can register week". Last week, and the whole of summer prior to last week, you could make an appointment. Next week is last minute walk ins registration. It should be okay. I have all their paper work...except proof of residence but the lady at the office said escrow papers would work. Hannah did get registered. As per my expectations there were some glitches. Nothing terrible. She was going to take French 4 this year and French 5 next. Here they only offer 1-3 and then French AP language and culture but no 5. In Maryland you need 5 PE credits. Here you need 20. So she'll be a junior with mostly freshmen and sophomores. Not the end of the world. She signed up for dance PE, which will be fun. Juniors here take AP US history. She already took it. They don't offer AP World so she had to take normal world history. Little things. My biggest worry is again we need proof of residence. Which we don't have. They registered her but said we needed to bring a utility bill on the first day, which we will not have. How long will this be overlooked? I don't know.
We spent the morning out doing school stuff and the afternoon in the room. We were in the middle of phase 10 when I had to call a time-out and usher the little urchins to the pool. The stir craziness was getting out of hand. It's hard to have nothing to do.
