My husband doesn't work far from home, but even that little drive, combined with taking the kids to school in the morning, adds up. Telecomuting days are a great idea.

I thought most Angelenos were impervious to rising gas costs but even Angelenos are feeling the pinch. Here's what I might or will be doing in the future to cut down on gas consumption. I used online grocery shopping once or twice when I was marooned at home after my C-sections a few years ago. It might be worth reconsidering. But, probably the most significant way I'll be able to cut down on gas is to enroll my son in our local neighborhood school where I can walk him to school. I had been driving to another district school which was at least a 14 mile round trip a day so that will help. Also, we'll be moving our office closer to our home. Lastly, maybe local businesses will start considering "telecommuting Tuesdays" or something to help our their employees keep gas costs down. Everyone is talking about the cost of gas here in LA, too.

I have been lately looking for an interesting online store, but in vain. I find that they take advantage of the fact that this service is not well developed here yet, to abuse on prices.However I am a regular online shopper as far as it concerns clothes, shoes, hand bags, ...

In elementary school we had no school on Wednesday’s (for Kindergarten) then by 3rd grade it was 1/2 day Wednesday’s, and by 5th we had a full day of school.

Everyone was really bummed when they put Wednesday’s back in for everyone.

Also – I don’t buy a lot of food online. We just don’t go through that much food and really like our local grocery store.

Is it a four week school schedule or do they go on Saturdays? Also, you have to PICK THEM UP at lunch? There is no one to watch them if they aren't paying to eat in the cafeteria? Do you pick them up or pay? This is all so interesting I'd love to hear more! You say there is no school on Wednesdays? Is it a four week school schedule or do they go on Saturdays?
