Picking Nursery School...OYYYYY

It started way back when...when i needed to pick a nursery school...yikes you would have thought my decision has something to do with anything....I was working full time...which was a crime to some. Although now i have decided that my stance is simply...thanks to the feminist movement woman have a right to choose...to stay home, to work outside the home or to figure out some other situation that works...so for me at that point...15 years ago i was working...full time, traveling, having fun working and watching my little crazy hair Einstein boy do funny baby tricks....and when my husband and I got board of this we were either having or going to fantastic dinner parties, the intimate way to meet and hang with other new suburbanites...yikes i am yawing just trying to recall all the fun we had at those parties... i actually by no twist of fate just simple ok that will be fine ism wound up living in the same sleepy, non-descript town i grew up in...but did not go to school in...yes i went to private school even though my parents were paying ridiculous taxes for what was and still is touted as one of the best school districts in the country...which i now do myself...yes taxes and tuition for both our boys...So back to nursery school...ooyyyyy the input i got which i never asked for...do they have lunch, is there an extended day, do they get homework...seriosuly homework...oh and you must get Fran and Flo and Mary or else little Einstein might not get the most out of his experience...what experience...all the kid wanted to do was get out of the house, away from the nanny and find a 2.5 year old girl to flirt with...now that is an experience...not to mention that my little nursery school also offered tot shabott...so every few Fridays i got to come to school, eat some challah and light the candles...nursery schools and day camps...they are all within 5 degrees of each other or would no longer exist...so experience or not i picked the one where i knew a couple of people, felt like i was someones mother and moved right along...
