Pre-K Crazies

This weekend, my wife was asked to stand in line for a family so their kid would get into Pre-K at a public school in Houston County. The family agreed to pay her for her time (yes!!!). Monday at 9am, the registration began. People began camping out at 5pm on Friday evening and stayed there all weekend long. It was the craziest thing I've ever seen. I spent the night for my lovely wife on Sunday evening / Monday morning so she could get ready for teaching today. Luckily, the principal at the school was nice and opened the school Sunday night because it was supposed to rain (and did). The other schools in Houston County did not open up. People camped out in the rain. Several fathers brought tv's up to the school, plugged them in, and watched the NCAA tournament.
Read the news article (it's short) and see some pictures of the school and people freezing their tails off here.

so i realize you just picked a picture from the news article, but you're writing about your wife waiting in line and you post a photo of some lady who isn't your wife?

i thought jo bought an animal print blanket and dyed her hair (and skin tone).

i don't want to put any pics of my wife on my blog in case some pre-K crazies come across it (or crazies of other types). I've tried not to write anything other than first names, and not mention my wife's name at all. It's one of those weird things I'm worried about.
