parent teacher conferences.

today was HECTIC at work... the kids have half days of school monday through wednesday this week and then no school thursday and friday for parent teacher conferences and then fall break so we're offering extended CARE hours and all day CARE on thursday friday, not so lovely for my sanity but oh so lovely for my bank account!
anyway today the kiddos we're going INSANE and i was trying to figure out an activity to do with them to keep them entertained.... and that activity turned out to be fully body outlining (remember when you would lie down on butcher paper and your teacher would trace your body and you got to color it in and stuff) anyway it started out with 5 kids... ok i could handle tracing 5 kids, then it turned into 20. Seriously tracing 20 kids.... and keeping an eye on the non tracers who decide that its super fun to run around with sissors telling other kids to "come look at MINE!!"
oh. man.
then when i was at the preschool with audrey (the special needs girl that i'm there to support) she decides that she wants to play the game that she plays with her dad (where she hits him on the head and he falls on the floor in fake pain) with me.... oh no ma'am that game does not fly with me so when she didn't like the result of me not falling just signing stop she decided that pinching would be the best way to achieve the fall on the floor in fake aganoy, seriously mom time to trim the girls nails.... i have bruises from this tiny little twirp who just learned how to walk on her own.

anyway the day is over and in two weeks from friday i will have a wonderfully large paycheck to put towards the seattle trip. POSTIVE THINKING.

love.
