Thanks everyone. It has been a tough year all around, (move to a new state, bullying in 2 different schools, teachers who didn't "get" DD, an awful job for me, which I've ended up quitting and now a new job hunt and a new school for DD next year) and we were hoping for the "yes".
But, Grinity, I think I'll be agreeing with you - if Dottie says she was that close..... We probably will re-apply after a couple of years when she has some other test results.
Right now we're starting to "de-school" and get into the summer groove, as well as rearrange the living room to make space for lego league type robot building! (A friend lent us her clubs' past kits and with DD2 wanting to help, we have to get a "clear and secure" space organized so all of the pieces get back to my friend at the end of the summer.)
Thanks again for the support. I'm feeling better about it all
