Got Preschool? URGENT HELP NEEDED!

Hello lovelies(and handsomes) - it's been a long time since I've given you an update, and this may be the only post here which is not (much) about Scott or cancer. Scott's still on chemo, still doing well, and scheduled for a scan later this month, so we're in hurry up and wait mode.

This post is all about me. I need some urgent help from the wonderfuls among you.

You may remember I have work that I go to? The place my paycheck comes from? They've been wonderful to me there - they've coped with me coming in late and leaving early with no complaints for THREE YEARS. They've let me telecommute. They've let me switch jobs to accommodate the wackiness in my life. They've given me time off with no hassle for trips to rural Michigan or the ICU.

It's the most wonderful job, the most wonderful client, and I'm in a bit of a quandary. They're making a line of educational tools to help teachers assess the natural number sense of pre-school children.

And, well, I was supposed to get them some pre-schools to download (and run) their initial product offerings by, like, well, actually by yesterday. And where was I yesterday? I can't exactly remember, but I can say mentally I was somewhere between attending a Weight Watchers meeting and getting buzzed on Michigan sweet cherry wine. (Both are fairly preschool-unfriendly activities, and they sort of give me that equal-but-opposite tension in my life.)

And Maggie, bless her chubby little cheeks, JUST TURNED FIVE AND IS NO LONGER IN PRESCHOOL.

If you could help me get some preschools, I would be forever grateful. Here's exactly what I need:

1. Locate a bona fide preschool, which has children between the ages of 2-4 enrolled. If you have a child in this age group, please take this to his/her teacher. Feel free to direct all your friends here - the more the merrier. I so need the help.

2. Ask them to go to www.mathemazing.com

3. Click on the "Educational Content" link. This is totally free and if they don't have a userid, they get to create one for themselves. No cost, no junk email, no nothing but sweetness and light coming from this site.

4. Click on "Register" to register themselves as a new user. Fill out their information and click "Register."

5. Login with their brand spanking new userid and password.

6. DOWNLOAD ALL THREE OF THE TOOLS ON THE SITE. It don't mean a thing if we don't get these downloads.

* Preschool Number Sense Tool #1 - left click on this and play that game at least once!

* Download Audio Walkthrough - right click on this to download the podcast. (Left clicking on this will get you some exciting stuff which is probably illegal in most of Michigan but done in the Upper Peninsula anyways, so do the right thing here and right click that baby.)

* Download Our White Paper - right click on this to download the paper.

7. Let me know that you have just pulled my a** out of the fire! You can reach me at carrie_beam [at] yahoo.com and/or just leave a comment on Facebook (or heck, even here on the blog). Call me on my cellphone at (925) 285 - 1977 if you have any difficulties with any of this, any time of the day or night.

So, you're feeling a bit strange about this? I can't promise you that you're in a preschool sort of mood.

What I can promise is that there are no bugs or viruses here, and if we can get a preschool to register and download ALL THREE PRODUCTS by yesterday (or heck, by today if that's all we can do), it will help me BEYOND immensely.

Did I mention we just got back from a monthlong vacation in rural Michigan (and do I have tractor racing and bullfrog hunting stories to tell)?

And did I mention my boss is going on vacation in TWO DAYS?

And that I need to have a preschool download these BEFORE HE GOES???

And that I was evidently the preschool lady and I'm just needing a little help from my friends?

Thank you - I LOVE YOU ALL FOREVER!!!!!
