Got a call from the agency about returning to work at a place I've worked for before. I liked the crew there. They had wanted to hire me, but couldn't afford me at the time.

Assuming the job goes permanet, the money will be what I want. Just got to work on flexibility.

Several kids he already knows will be in the class - all kids he plays well with. The boy we wanted him to be away from is in a different class...Ya ( Read more... )

Framingham has school choice. It's a wildly annoying process with few guaranties. It was a frustrating round of tours and research. We had picked our current neighborhood based on the school, but weren't close enough to be sure of a space when we went through this with P ( Read more... )
