 RH> Rachel had half day kindergarten in both CA and TX. In CA they did
 RH> some actual work but I don't think they did much of any in TX. Deborah
 RH> went thru K in another town in TX. Having had preschool, she was more
 RH> set for first grade; K wasn't much of a challenge for her. I was rather

The school that disappointed the most was the public school in Jackson
where I had 1st grade.  The rest of my siblings had decent schooling
straight through.
 
 NB>> Your family didn't keep moving from state to state... ;)  We'd all
 NB>> be at the same school, whichever it was, given that we were all
 NB>> schoolage.. ;) At least until we moved here, and the youngers were
 NB>> at the Christian school (K-8), and the older ones were at the
 NB>> public high school...

 RH> Have you ever counted up how many different schools you attended?
 RH> Both of our girls went to 8 different schools (not counting different
 RH> buildings that were part of the same school system like Berlin
 RH> Elementary and Junior/Senior High). 

I went to 6 different schools.  My siblings went to a maximum of 4
different schools...  My son went to 3 different schools, all here...
Daddy might have had your girls beat, though...

 RH> Frankfurt had no cafeteria so all kids
 RH> brought their lunch until the last few weeks we were there. Some
 RH> mothers organised a catered hot lunch program but we didn't bother
 RH> signing the girls up as we were moving.

Too bad they didn't get things organized earlier, eh...?

 RH>> There's 12.5 years between Lisa's sons so the younger one (now 17)
 RH>> thought he had 3 parents. Our girls are 20 months, 2 weeks apart
 RH>> so Rachel was too young to act like a mommy to her baby sister.
 NB>> My sister Lesesne had 5 kids pretty close together, a boy and 4
 NB>> girls... then she thought she was done...  Then she had a caboose
 NB>> baby girl, about 8 or 9 years later... Debby did think that she had
 NB>> about 5 mothers...  ;) 

 RH> Debby probably didn't know who to listen to at times. (G)
 
Lesesne tried to make it clear that she, and only she, was the Real
Mommy...  (G)

 NB>> When Sarah came along a little later, my sister was glad to have
 NB>> another, to keep Debby from being an "only baby"... saved her from
 NB>> being totally spoiled...  ;)   Debby wasn't so much a mommy to her
 NB>> little sister as her older sisters had been to her...  :)

 RH> She probably realised that it was better to have just one mommy to
 RH> have to listen to. (G)

Also, like your Rachel, she wasn't that much older than her younger
sister... they're only about 2 years apart...  :)

ttyl          neb

... You have 2 choices for dinner. Take it or leave it. Bon appetit!
