So I have this "project" that needs to be complete this weekend - and well with all my "good intentions" I just don't have a clue how I will get this done.
So if you, my dear friends would like to attend not one, but two parent teacher conferences tonight, please raise your hand!
Cianah's are at 5:10 and Tati's are at 6:30. I am hoping beyond hope that these are the conferences that I simply meet with the advisory teacher and will be in and out in a matter of moments. The alternative is standing in a gym full of other cranky parents while standing in line for what seems like hours to speak to each and every teacher. In this scenario it NEVER fails - I get behind the parents of a slacker child and they must "conference" for a full 30 minutes. Then I sit down and hear "she's a pleasure to have in class - do you have any questions? Nope. It was nice to meet you." And I am on my merrier way to the next cattle line. YAH!!!!!!!!! So how about this, raise you hand if you have Cianah or Tatiana in class and you have an issue that we need to discuss....otherwise I'm heading home.
After work, basketball practice, band concerts, drama every night until eight, hours of vet visits, photo shoots, and basketball games there really isn't enough time in the day to have parent/teacher conferences too. And I thought tonight was the night I would finish it all. Damn you Mehlville High School, Damn you.
Oh and also thanks for the 4 day weekend for the crumb snatchers - that ought to add a messier house to my list of rewards!
I will finish this project this weekend if it kills me!
My lovely daughter told me this about the cursed quilt - "Mom, your reward will come." To which I responded with "what the hell are you talking about?" (I know loving mom right???) She said, "Your reward for doing nice things even for people who aren't nice and probably won't appreciate it anyway." Awwwwwwwwwww! I'll try to remember this nice comment the next time I want to ring her neck. :) Love you Cianah!
Atta girl, Cianah. Definitely a moment to remember (and get you through the not-so-graceful momements). Nicole, I would definitely attend those parent/teacher conferences for you if they were a little closer to home!
