A new day

Well, I am feeling better today. I was able to speak to my alderman, and he is great. He listened to my concerns and assured me that he will help ensure our rights are protected. Apparently he has already been contacted by other parents and neighbors. And more may call him still. I spoke to more parents today. I spoke to the volunteer coordinator who is a big advocate for the students and teachers. I got more information. I emailed the family lawyer for some legal advice. I got more people in my corner. I feel confident that we will be heard and our concerns considered. Who knows, we may still not necessarily get our way, but at the least we will be involved. Walking to school tomorrow should be interesting....I haven't seen the parents yet. So I have more people to tell.

Back to family news, I am witnessing something very interesting these days. The girls are really into music. They want to rock. So they decided to form their own band. It's called "Two Girls Only". Great name. They play with Katie's Hannah Montana guitar, write lyrics and sing while wearing headphones. They even have the drama down. Every session seems to end with Katie yelling "I QUIT THE BAND!" So funny.

Here's a recent pic that Mark took, since I haven't posted one in a while. Thanks for checking in and I will keep you posted on my community action!
