we have a sort of open enrollment thing going on too, but it's easier to get into some schools than others. The high schools here are great, but I want to avoid the elementary schools with the knife fights thanks.
Soooo glad we didn't have that kind of trouble in her elementary school. There were some 'baby gangs' in her junior high, but they never messed with my kid (she and her friends did sometimes mess with them ;-). It probably helped that she was a head taller than the gang members and while slender, would never be mistaken for "willowy". She's got a strong solid build that goes nicely with her "WTF do you think you're *doing*?" attitude. ;-)
Really, she's got all the makings of a kick ass librarian. ;-)
She's great. She's also falling asleep on the sofa while trying to finish another project. I keep telling her not to wait until the last minute, but she got so used to being able to procrastinate in junior high. It's a hard habit to break.
I've got my fingers crossed that she'll carry through with her winter project plans. She's got to read a book and do an assignment during the break. I suggested she get it done *before* Christmas, which would then free her up for the rest of her break to actually *break*. :-)
Yes, nudging is already happening. Nudging as in "have this done before you come home from your dad's". ;-) She only has one major project at home for the break: clean her room. :-) It sounds worse than it is. Or rather, it's as bad as it sounds, but she's been wanting to get the time to get to it and do a serious job - still got elementary school stuff hanging around that never got purged.
I can't really say much, given my, um, lack of organization. (Yeah, that sounds better than "I'm a slob". :-) However, I draw the line when it keeps me (or her) from being able to find stuff after a reasonable search or get to places in a room. :-)
the books aren't usually 'lost' here, just misplaced until around the second overdue notice or so. (now all notices go to me, not the munchkins, in hopes of avoiding that to at least some extent)
The WORST is when you have a stupid place where you keep something. It's dumb, in the way or hard to get to, but it's always been where you put X. Then one day you think of the PERFECT PLACE for X. Easy to get at, to the side and not out and in the way anymore... so you move X there.
and the next time you need X all you can remember is your original place for it and the decision to move it. *headdesk*
LOL!!! No, it's not just you! It's why, for example, I always have to move the large funnel out of the quart measuring cup whenever I want to use said cup. I *only* ever use the funnel to fill my CPAP reservoir, while I use that large measure cup for lots of things.
I still can't figure out why the funnel is in the kitchen instead of the bathroom with the vinegar (that is also only used to clean the CPAP reservoir).

But there it is. :-)
We are *such* creatures of habit.
