We have now survived week two of fall quarter. It went quick, and now we only have nine more weeks to go.
Libby started preschool again today, it was the first day with the entire class there. I am eager to begin a normal routine with this.
Her school is my topic for this blog. Like I have mentioned in previous blogs I consider us to just be a normal middle of the road family. We are by no means poor, but we are not rich either. With me still being in school there are some lean times, but we budget well and there are never problems. I am thankful that we vacation each year, and have money to do extra things like preschool, dance class, COSI, and dinners out. I know that most people in the world are not able to even do that.
So in Libby's preschool class most of the children come from the homes of doctor's and other executives. For instance last night we attended a birthday party that not only had a magician, but also pony rides, six kinds of ice cream, and the best goody bags I have ever seen. The party was lovely, as is the family, but wow, all that. I had to ask Libby as soon as we got in the car what kind of birthday party she wanted this year, and you know what she still said a groovy party (as in Groovy Girls). It made me feel good to know that what other children may have has not started to rub off on her yet.
There is a small part of me that worries that even though Libby is making friends at school that her friends parents may not want their children to buddy up with Libby because we do not live in a Mcmansion, and she will not attend a posh private school. Are people like that? I think that we are a perfectly nice family, and I would never do that.
I must admit though that I think I will have a problem for a while with her staying over (silly that I worry about this, I do not think it will happen for a long time anyway) with children of parents who are not married or just boyfriend and girlfriend etc.... Is that wrong of me? I do not judge them for their choices, I just do not agree with it morally, and I do not think that it is a good example for Libby. So time will tell...
I guess this sums up the fact that I am neurotic.
I took some advice posted here about my mom, and I really have just not been thinking about it. I am concerned because she tripped going into the kitchen tonight, and my insensitive poo head of a father does not realize that it is a symptom of the cancer on her brain. He is a big idiot anyway. So we go to the neurosurgeon at OSU next week. I just keep the hope for more time, lots more.

Well, I am naive, and assume the best in people. So, I'd hope those families are not so snooty!
As for Libby staying over at other's homes - I think those places are hard to avoid these days. The "typical" American family isn't necessarily married anymore....maybe just plan on being honest with her, without telling her how SHE should feel about the issues in the future. Let her know your morals, and let her chose for herself. That's a great thing to do for our kids. :)
Thanks for always responding Leia!
I agree with you to a certain level that the typical family is changing today. I have no problems with people who choose not to get married but are in commited relationships and such. I think my problem lies with the in & out type relationships. Suzi's mommy has this guy living with her this month, and another one next.
