We have that here in Northern VA, where I work. They have to make sure all cultures are equally represented.They, whoever 'they' are, decide that there is too much of one ethnicity at a school, so they draw school boundaries to make the schools 'balanced'. I'm trying to be VERY politically correct here, so I best not say anything further so as not to offend anyone.
Congrats to Sophie!
Oh, thanks for the reminder!
YAY for a fixed compactor!!!
But I think that has to be why it went down! I read on another thread that the discounts that were out now were better than the AP rates that I had gotten. It is the only explanation I can see.
So for $100 more we can be on the right cruise
Has anyone gotten any DINGS today? I seem to get them everyday except today.
Oh wait the 2 rooms are booked as 2 separate reservations so that is a $200 error. If everyone wasn't so excited I would probably cancel at this point. We've gone from $670 for 6 people to $1500 in the course of a few hours.
I don't know if tickets with miles fluctuate like regular airfare or not, so I don't know if it will come back down or stay at 50K. I did see they added more non-stop return flights for 25K but I was afraid to mess with it to try to switch. 5:25 PM is kind of late to come home but we'll deal with it. Or DH will, because DS and I aren't ticketed yet! 
My plan is to make sure we all leave Dallas together, but DS and I are coming home on whatever flight is cheapest.
DISD is 93% minority so they have to draw our zones all wonky to try to evenly distribute the other 7%. I think DS's school is 85% minority. We could opt to send him to another school because our school's test scores are below the acceptable level, but he scored just FINE last year. It might prove to be a useful loophole if we need it, but for now we'll stay where we are. If we chose to apply for a magnet school the district would provide transportation.
Marci - Wow! You guys are getting flu shots early! We typically go mid-October. I guess I need to call and see what our Dr. says. We did the mist last year and that seemed to go pretty well.
Glad some of your improvements are completed!
Hey, free money!
Jen, is he mentally handicapped or physically handicapped or a behavioral/emotional problem? Your class is already big, so without an aide you may have quite a challenge! Good luck!
Deb, I hope you get the cruise details in order! That sounds like an awesome deal! I have DING! at home but not at work so I don't know if we have gotten any today.
Oh my -- please don't tell your kids. My name will be MUD.
Andrew was the first confirmed case of flu three years ago in the Dallas area, and I plan on that not happening again. Our peds office has been giving the mist/shots for weeks. The CDC says you can start the first of September. The boys got the flu mist this time. Although they don't throw a fit with shots because I bribe them, the mist was certainly easier and their arms won't get sore.
My carpet guy forgot me. I wonder if that's a sign? Hopefully he'll be here soon.
Have a good evening everyone.
DS can't have the shot in his arm because he doesn't have enough fat. 
They still make him have it in his leg. So the mist is WAY better!
Her grilled cheese has been "grilled" on less than 1/4 of the bread. The rest of it is just plain bread. The cheese wasn't even melted! She doesn't care, but I am renewing my vow NOT to go to that Sonic anymore.
