Of course, I'm having my gallbladder removed Thursday (the 8th) and I'm not going to even try to go back until January. And my daughter's high school is going until the 22nd.

That's crazy, Kim! Don't the kids legally have to be in school a certain number of days per year? I don't understand how they can shorten the school day and the year?
