My School Separation Dilemma

I am sort of retro-blogging here. I actually realized I had the following problem back in the first week of January, but it is so unsettling to me that I try not to think about it. So here goes: my twins go to a great preschool where the slots for the next year are determined by lottery to make it fair for all the moms (slots are for mornings or afternoons). Of course, most moms want mornings, and moms who have afternoons one year pray for a good lottery ticket to get mornings for the next year. I have been very lucky in the 5 years my kids have been at this school. I had an afternoon draw when my oldest was two and I was pregnant with the twins, but that was no biggie because I just had one kid to deal with. I had mornings for my oldest when she was three and four and I was desperate to get her out of the house for a while so I could just deal with the twins. The twins had mornings as two and three year olds, but next year I have one morning slot and one afternoon slot! How's that for a new twist on the school separation issue some parents of twins face? Worst case scenario is that I flip my coveted morning ticket for an afternoon slot come August. Best case scenario is that the waiting list moves, because I am numero uno on that for a morning slot. I have a plan B, though--which is really essential for a mom of twins when it comes to dealing with her multiples in many situations. I have applied to another pre-school. I won't know if they get in there until March, but I am pretty sure they will at least be dropped off and picked up at the same time. Who could ask for anything more?
