Procrastination -- Sometimes Its A Good Thing

Procrastination can come in handy sometimes. Sometimes it keeps you from having to undo something that ended up not needing to be done.

I hadn't gotten around to dropping off the boys' kindergarten registrations at Sky Oaks Elementary yet. I got birth certficates, but I'll have to go through a big pile of things to find the immunization forms.

This week I found out they weren't going to Sky Oaks after all, and I patted myself on the back for not having wasted time getting the forms to them.

I can't say it came as a big shock, seeing as how the kindergarten transition meeting had been scheduled, rescheduled, and then cancelled in the past two months. It was proving pretty difficult to find a time that everyone who needed to be there, could be.

So yesterday I called the special education director for our district and asked what was going on -- what school would the boys be attending, and would we in fact get this transition meeting in before the end of the school year. She called me back within an hour and told me the boys would be attending Rahn Elementary now, which ironically is the school I liked best, when I toured the two schools with autism programs. Funny how that worked out. The kindergarten transition meeting will be next week either Wednesday or Thursday, while the boys are at preschool.

So I guess I better start digging for those immunization forms.

I knew there was a reason I liked procrastinating! Glad they get to go where you like best!
