I so much admire you for sending and paying for your children to go to Catholic schools. I know it is a sacrifice because my sister did the same. Me, I was too stupid to do so with mine.
Anyway, do you know what my sister did to lower her tuition? She volunteered one afternoon a week to secretarial duties in their office. And for the biggie...she headed up their annual school fair, which raised lots of money.
I can see you now, Mo, in your girl's computer room at school lowering their tuition with your talents.
It's not too bad .. some take vacations .. I send the kids to school
No biggie ... I should get my life back around the year 2018
And when that happens .. I'm getting a motor home and I'm a cruising the country side
I'll came back for the holidays to visit though :0)

HAHAHAHA .. I think I'm safer with the lunchroom mom type of stuff
But I think when the time omes, I might take my neighbor's advice .. she took a job at the local college .. one of the benefits there was she was able to afford to send her kids to school there
When I sent mine to private school, I volunteered in order to defray some of the tuition cost too. The school hosted a huge volleyball tournament every year and I always helped with that as well as hosting a bunch of the girls at our home for that week. I also directed the school plays and always did make-up for all the performances, and other odds and ends. It helped a lot. It is a sacrifice, but it is one that pays off, and one of the biggest ways it pays off is that it keeps the government out of your business. I didn't feel like every move my kid made was being monitored by bureaucrats. And the kids at school weren't medicated to make them behave either. They were dealt with the old-fashioned way, given expectations and rules and discipline.
Ya reckon FReeping counts?
