FANTASTIC FRIGGIN NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



After a year and a half of waiting and all the fretting found HERE and HERE, I just got a call from Winterberry, our local Waldorf charter school saying that they have a spot for Lo in first grade in the fall, and did I want to take that spot?
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After screaming such things as, "OH.MY.GOD!!!!! No WAY!!!!!! REALLY?!?!?!" and jumping up and down and sideways-you would have thought that I had just won a thousand bucks off of the local Morning Zoo radio-I, of course, answered with a definitive and definite,"HELLS YES!"(they're gonna love me there).

I have lost too much of that "Waldorf connection" over the past year without that daily support and participation in such an environment. I've tried so hard to hold onto that and am SO looking forward to immersing ourselves in it again!!!! On some level I've felt that I've been in this holding pattern for the past year...a place where time has stood still, where I was not able to really "get into" the events of the school Lo was going to and having such a hard time keeping the Waldorf in our home. I acknowledge that I've needed that help, that belonging to a Waldorf community, to keep organized on on track...I feel I can breath again...a block is gone and I can plan, I can break out the scroll saw for some toymakin' for the school, I can research into what is to come for Lo in first grade!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm am so excited for her!!!!!!

Huz in gonna have to peel me off the ceiling when he gets home!!!!!

Thanks Dave! Hey, just got thru 2 months of physical therapy and my back is feeing better then it has in months. used A LOT of the same excersises you sent! Thanks!!!!!!
That's so great! I'm so happy for you all! I'm really wishing my kids had a Waldorf school right now. It's tough to keep that lifestyle/values, when they're surrounded by something so different each day.

I HEAR you! Things changed so much in just this past school year..ugh. This is like a breath of fresh air.
Congrats! I would be so excited too!

That is SO exciting! I'm thrilled for you! I very much know what you mean by needing support. I struggle too. I've even considered moving to the other side of town where my commute would only be 50 min to our (not charter) Waldorf school (the only one in our state) and asking if they'll let me work there so my kids can attend. Not sure they'd want me though. :) I can only imagine how excited you are and how much LO is going to *love* it!
How exciting!! Congrats :D
Thanks everyone!!!!
That's great news! Congratulations!
Yay! How exciting! :)
