To Regroup or Not To Regroup.

To regroup or not to regroup. That has been the ultimate question around here. It just seems that the kids today are learning things earlier than back in the old days. My daughter is in second grade & my God, the homework that she comes home with. PSSA prep! What the hell! This is something new this year. Already preparing for next year. Can't we just get through 2nd grade & then learn how to take the PSSA in 3rd grade? But what do I know?

I know it.

They can tell time (I didn't learn that till 3rd grade), they are reading chapter books - heck 5th grade for me. Maybe even 6th. My girlys are so much smarter than me.

Disney Update

I need your help. My friends on facebook have left my some ideas, but I want to hear from you. I did hear that there are great deals like stay 4 nights get 3 nights free. 1. What is the best time of the year to go? We were thinking early June. Maybe the second week. 2. Where to stay? We were thinking in the park. 3. Do we buy the meal plans? Some suggestions: Take your beautiful little girl to Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boutique and make her a princess for an hour! Buy the meal plan if you're staying in a Disney resort- it's really, really, really cost-effective. And whatever you do, avoid 'It's a Small World'- it will turn you into a homicidal maniac. Try to find some books- knows the titles of some. They really helped me when we went. There's also some websites--she knows the addresses too! Good luck! It's a fun place & worth the time & effort.
