Confessional.....

I admit, there are two things I will not compromise; education and health care. In these two areas I am still an east coast snob! Never, ever be without health insurance and always, ALWAYS be on top of your kids education! Both will take you under if you are not two steps ahead!!!!!!!
You are your own health advocate and the school is not responsible for raising your kids. (And I say this as a teacher!!!!!!)
