Morning! Went and got a bunch of new pool toys yesterday, there was still a huge selection since it's still sooo early in the season. A lot of people have pools around here and even before summer starts, stores get low on the stuff. I buy the cheap stuff because it's bound to get ripped, etc. but I buy a lot of it, so I always have something handy to blow up
I was miffed yesterday. I had a parent/teacher conference scheduled with my DS teacher. Since he's in the 5th grade, all the parents get a conference, as opposed to the lower grades, where only at risk students need one! Well, his teacher had them scheduled back to back, in 20 min. increments! Ours was at 5:20. We planned on going to dinner after! We get there right at 5:20 and there was a family ahead of us that had the 5pm appointment. The mom said that the people that had the 4:40 appt. had JUST gone in because the people before them took forever! So she was basically 40 min. behind. I was upset because she could have called, you know? We had gone shopping but were home for about 15 min. before we left for the school, and there was no call or message! So I interrupted the conference (hey, if she can be rude, so can I) and told her we weren't going to wait around for 40 min. because we want to go to dinner. She said come back at 6:20. I told her ok, but we may be a bit late! We show up at right before 6:30! Well, there was still someone in there so I am glad we showed up a bit late! As we sat there, another family came for the 6:40 appt. The teacher comes out right at 6:30 and lets both us and the other family come in the classroom! Now, I really don't care about this other student, I don't want to hear about him and his grades, and I don't really like that another family hears about my child. He's got good grades, but there are still some issues I like to discuss with the teacher during conference and I don't really want to do it in front of another family! Anyway, the teacher was completely unorganized. Didn't have certain print outs from tests and had to keep running back and forth between her classroom and another room, where the printer is, to print stuff out! I guess the other kid had a lot of problems with bad grades, so she spent a loooong time talking to the mother, who didn't speak English so there was a language barrier! We just sat around! She finally got to us, and quizzed DS on some social studies stuff so she could make up her mind for the final grade!! By that time, he was tired! It was 8pm by then!! I told her she couldn't possibly expect him to answer her NOW! Shouldn't she have had the grade figured out prior to the conference? All the other conferences I have ever gone to before, the teacher had the report card printed out and ready! This one filled the report card out as we sat there!! She asked Josh what grade he thinks he should get for every subject and then went on to explain to him what grade he's actually getting and why! No wonder it took so long for everyone else!
It was just ridiculous!! I am debating on whether or not I should talk to the principal!
I have today and tomorrow off! I plan on doing a bunch of housework again so I don't have as much on the weekend! My principal said she may give me a few extra hours in the weeks to come since Kindergarten registration started and that's always a busy time of year and they need the extra help!
How many were killed? My MIL lived in Las Vegas and the freeway through the desert was just awful with accidents. We often went there for the weekend, and we often got stuck in traffic for hours coming back home, and there were times when we saw bodies covered with sheets on the side of the road when we finally got to the accident scene! It always bothered me for a long time after!
Glad about that!
know this is a family board. yes im a class clown type. We are having Kindergarten regestration starting next week too was given a list from the Principal and all she needs for furniture and rooms know what Ill be doing tomorow the day shoul fly. we are haveing low level flooding here now all the normal levels just higher water levels.
Better watch it or I am going to get myself banned! 
I questioned DH later to see if he put it in there maybe last night and she just didn't see it this morning, but he said no. I asked DS and he didn't put it in there either!! I am still confused...seriously!!! I have NO idea how it got in there! 
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
