I'm sure I will want to go in the fall of 2012. Whether I am able to or not remains to be seen. I think I'd like to go back during Thanksgiving again. We were semi-planning to do that this year until the big NYE thing evolved, so we opted for that instead. We are supposed to get another week for fall break again next year. I think next October is when Jill's family is finally going to be able to go with some friends of theirs that they hang out with a lot. If it falls at the right time, I could go and just do some alone stuff while they do things with them, then see them in the evenings or whenever it worked out. I could also keep the four girls in the room an evening or two while the grown-ups did a nice dinner night or got some DTD time. That's all just speculation, of course. I don't know their exact plans.
I'm glad you got what you wanted. We have a Pre-K class at our school. I imagine they would take your help any time you wanted to come.
There are two teachers, and from what I see in the hall, those little guys keep them very busy! 
Hey Memom, i am keeping up. Just lurking mostly.
Having some issues with my youngest so not in the most 'talkative' mood.
I just want to say thanks for keeping up with the trip report even during all the trials and excessive "stuff" with school.
Also, i would like to thank you and all the teachers reading or on these boards. In my life i am not sure what i would do without all of you and your hard work and dedication. Feel free to talk about all that stuff, it gives me a better foundation for understanding. Also my daughter is in college for a double major of Elementary education and Phsycolgy. Everyone keeps telling her to look into something else and being negative. she has talked about being a teacher since she was 5. I think she can make a difference in the lives of children, as all of you do.
sorry for the longwindedness.......

I am hoping that after next week, when this first evaluation is over with, I can breathe a little easier and be a little happier. I'll try to do better here, then, and hopefully brighten your days more than I have been able to do lately.
I wanted to be a teacher, too. Well, mainly I wanted to be a Mommy, but I had to be a Mommy and go to work, as it turned out. The bad thing is, teaching is not like it used to be. There is so much extra - so much paperwork, so much testing, so many numbers in boxes - at least in our system. The teaching gets lost in all that. I would advise her to spend a lot of time in some schools and see if it's really what she wants. The girl next to me said she is going to a small private school. She said she went to school when she was 29 to get her degree to do something she loved, and this current situation is definitely not what she loves. She has a husband with an income, so she had the ability to take a decrease in pay, unlike me.
You are one of the luckiest people around, you know!
Summer plans are that we will have to go in June, since our school is starting earlier than ever. Kids will report August 1st!
The plan is that Brooklynn and I will fly down about the 13th. Jill, John, and Bella will drive down on the 16th. We'll do Disney, then drive over to Vero to hang out with Wigd and Shocker for a day or two. Then we really have to get back home, because I start church camp on the 24th. We will probably leave Saturday evening and drive halfway, then finish out on Sunday. I can get someone to cover supper Sunday and then start my camp work bright and early Monday morning. After a long Disney trip, that will prove to be interesting. 
Brag away! It's great to be so proud of your kids.
I think a flight to California to see DisneyLand before you go on to Hawaii might be the best route. Explain to your DH that it will break up the long flight by having a couple days layover in California. Then they will be worn out from touring and will sleep all the way to Hawaii.
Sounds like a plan.
I did a class like that in college and I was placed in the campus on site daycare center. I had a blast and got a taste of the real thing. I went on to work with preschool or school age children until my DD was born, then I went back to the pool.
MeMoms school of enabling has produced 2 more scholars.
Momof2TNboys- congrats on booking Aulani and reelmom stopping in DL is the way to go!!
Wait a minute now - what did I have to do with any of this??? My school, as of this moment, would be the School of Being Crazy, Distraught, and Exhausted!
I told my DH the same thing!!!I don't know if he will go for it though!! Let me know how things work out. When is your Spring Break? I hope it works out for you!
Have you all seen this link?

Lou Mongello is doing a live Aulani feed right now. It is very pretty.
We love Oahu anyway so staying at a DVC resort would be icing on the cake. There is so much I would love to show my boys there!!
she has literally mapped out her life when she was a freshman in high school. even boyfriends have not deterred her so we shall see......academically she is finishing 6 years of college in 4 years. killing me financially, but the buttons are busting off me, i am so proud.
kinda .......
I hope you make it there! I also hope you make it to Disney in June when we are there! I'll be interested in your dates too...
