If the mailman can brave rain, sleet and snow to get his job done, we parents can do the same to get to parent-teacher conferences. It's just what we do.
Today was a miserable messy March day that is so typical of Wisconsin. A little rain here, some snow there, top it off with some sleet and make it really hazardous. That's Spring for you.
We had teacher conferences at school from 4-8 p.m. We did not take Carter with us but slid, er drove, straight there from work. I white-knuckled it on the way there, but in the end, it was worth it.
Heard some good things about Carter -- he's polite, smart, respectful, a "steady Eddie," proper, funny and friendly. No surprise since he takes after me, right? (OK, I'll give Daddy some credit, too.) Yes, we are very proud. We told him it's just as important to hear positive reports on his behavior, attitude and demeanor as it is to hear about good grades. Though it doesn't hurt to hear our math whiz is being placed in a high school algebra class next year. (Honestly, math was one of my best subjects!)
After conferences, we slipped, slided and slushed our way home. I was so focused on just getting home and hoping we don't have to leave again that I completely forgot I was going to stop at a friend's to borrow some Cricut cartridges. You know the weather is bad if it can block out scrapbooking thoughts!
I'll have to get those another day. It's lightning and thundering out now. And the way the "mixed" forecast looks, tomorrow might not be the day either.
Be careful out there!
