And, for those who don't believe it's so, they need only to pick up a biography of Lincoln. Sadly, it's always been about power and greed and now that so much money is at stake, it's about that too. All that being said, I still have hope.<br /><br /><b>Angie:</b> I noticed that you've been picking up readers like crazy! Congratulations. I hope you're feeling better very soon.

The public schools rank below all of them. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that her name comes up on the list so that The Duchess can start there next year.<br /><br />As for wishing away time, I always try to catch myself doing it and then question why I'm not "in the moment." I feel that if I'm constantly looking for the next thing to happen, that I can't be paying close attention to what is actually happening "now." I think far too many people spend their time either dwelling on the past or hoping for something in the future, forgetting that reality exists in present time.<br /><br /><br /><b>Bug:</b> "All things are bound together, all things connect."

He does, from the earliest, have a "MCP" (never mind you're too young) streak in him, so you have to be on your guard about that, but in general, whoever cares the most takes care of the stuff.<br /><br />As for deep Chad, I used to think that too. I would be wishing my life away. Then I realized it's a really childish point of view--kind of like--I was worried that I had caused the tsunami because I didn't care about the people in Indonesia. Whether or not you wish for an event to "hurry and get here" the time will pass--and if you spend it antiipating a positive event, you have spent it positively. <br /><br />I think you will be happy with your decision to put the Duchess in a Charter School. My FORMER (emphasis) workplace sponsors a charter school in OKC. It was the worst performing school in the State--now it is one of the best. Miracles can be worked with mentors, money and goals.<br /><br />I can hardly breathe I'm so excited to have a tiny girl at the other end of my family tree.
