Parent/Teacher Conferences down and 3 weeks to go!

So I still have not heard the "official" word from Estes Park... the principal was suppose to call my references this week, and as far as I know, he didn't. Maybe he is just taking their word (letters of rec) without calling them, or maybe he didn't get to it. I am still suppose to hear something from him by the end of today... but I suppose if he didn't get to it, then it still won't be official. Not that I think there is something that is going to change, but I just want it to be officially official so I can stop worrying!!

This week was busy (what week isn't busy?!). And the kids are about as stir crazy as I am. Luckily we have field trips, special events, field days, and other fun stuff to fill the next couple of weeks, so hopefully they will go by fast! Friday I had parent/teacher conferences (which I did on my own!) and they went pretty well. It was sometimes hard to tell parents that their student really isn't where they need to be, but I focused more on the positive and ways they can help their child. Overall it was exhausting, but I still think it went well.

Yesterday I got up and took the 4-legged furry kids to the vet. Fat Kitty complained the entire way, but then he had a little fun spelunking around the room. The vet was very nice and Sherlock loved him! They both got their shots and a clean bill of health! :) When I got home I showered (excess fur!) and then met up with my mommy as she was in town with her academic team. She is going to do a star-presentation for our 3rd grade this coming week, so she gave me a starchart to copy for the kiddos. I didn't feel very good, so I went home and went back to bed for a lovely 3 hour nap. Then I spent the rest of the day catching up on my 6 loads of laundry!

Today I am being very productive, already have my piles of papers graded, did my April Americorps hours so I can get a bit of scholarship money from them, and am off to revise my Chapter 4 so I can be FINISHED with that stinkin paper!! Then I hope it will stay clear so my pooperdog and I can have an afternoon hike. Hopefully sometime in there I will get a phone call (official or not!) and let me know what the next step is!

3 weeks of school left... and then off to Vermont!! :) Yay!!
