HOUSTON, WE'VE BEEN EXPELLED!!!

And I am fuming!!! Expelled from what, you ask? Oh, yeah, that would be pre-preschool, of which we attended one whole class. Yesterday. To try and make a long story short, here's the litany of reasons Ms. Shittypants (the teacher) provided as she gave us our oral pink slip via telephone.

*The class started 3 wks. ago, and it wasn't fair to the other moms who had been attending the entire time for me & the girls to "just waltz in" (Nevermind that Ms. Shittypants said it wouldn't be a problem last week on the phone, even when I repeatedly wondered aloud if I should wait until the next session.)

*The girls are too young for the class, even though the title of the class is "Mommy & Me Time for 18-24 Month Olds" (Again, thank you Ms. Shittypants, I told you last week they just turned 18 mos. You need to change the title of the class to "Mommy and Me for Whatever Ages Ms. Shittypants Wants.")

*The girls, though "beautiful" (Thank you Ms. Shittypants, I KNOW they're beautiful. You, however, are not. Your bangs are entirely too high, and could be categorized as a weapon of mass destruction.), couldn't sit still for the painting activity and they don't know how to paint. (Doesn't matter that neither of the girls bothered anyone during this period, they played quietly even though 2 other children weren't sitting still and were being disruptive to others who were painting)

*There is an 8-child limit per class. Ms. Shittypants claimed not to know, during our phone call last week, that there were already 7 children in the class, and the addition of my girls would push the class over the limit. Now, my father will be the first to tell you that my math skills are on par with those of a six-month old. But even I know that 7+2=9. I counted the number of kids there yesterday--there were 8 total, INCLUDING the girls. Ms. Shittypants refused to acknowledge that it is part of her job description, to know at all times, how many children are enrolled in her class. (It must be beyond challenging to remember how many students you have when you're only teaching ONE class, eh, Miss Shittypants.)

I believe that covers it, but I feel like I'm leaving something out. Will be back to edit if my memory decides to return.

The thing that really stinks about it is that Kate & Julia really enjoyed themselves, as did I. The other moms were so nice and down-to-earth, which seems to be a true rarity here in Joisey. I was so incredibly proud of them, even with Kate being a bit clingy. Julia was on a mission to have fun, and she did--I wish I had video of her dancing during circle singing time, it was adorable!

Okay, off to try and take some pics of my monkeys so I can post them here!

Heart hug!
