Comments on: Isn’t She Lovely? http://www.motherloadblog.com/2009/12/isnt-she-lovely/ diary of a modern-day housewife superhero Sun, 05 Feb 2012 17:23:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Drea http://www.motherloadblog.com/2009/12/isnt-she-lovely/comment-page-1/#comment-1732 Drea Tue, 15 Dec 2009 16:03:13 +0000 http://www.motherloadblog.com/?p=1484#comment-1732 My lovely children visited our lovely alma mater for some lovely sizing up one autumn a few years back. When I got the lovely decision letters the following March, informing me that 3 of my 4 lovely children had been accepted, I also received a lovely phone call from the lovely head of lower school (and I use the term "lovely" quite generously here). She let me know that my lovely youngest son had seemed tired at his lovely visit, and wondered if he had been ill. Which, it turns out, he had been, as soon as we picked him up from his lovely visit. I thought it was just lovely that she waited four months to call and inquire, and in the meantime made the decision not to admit him. It made me stop and reconsider that lovely alumni check I was planning to write. And needless to say, I did not end up sending the rest of my lovely children to such a lovely school. Best wishes through the lovely application process. And I know wherever your girls end up will be lovelier for their presence!
