4 days left to enter. Until then, a little bit of what I am going to do today.

So, today I am heading into battle. Well, I guess that's a bit over dramatic. It's Abbey and Lindsay's parent-teacher conference today. Yay. : / It shouldn't be that bad. I know that Abbey has been doing really well this year. She's been getting all of her work done at school. I don't think she's had any homework for about 5 months. Abbey is always very well behaved, so I know there is nothing to fear there. OK, Abbey's will be a breeze. {hopefully}

Lindsay, she has had a harder time paying attention and staying on task this year. This will make for a less than ideal conference. There will be finger pointing, excuses, explanations, plan of action, and stress. If Lindsay wasn't so smart, the expectations might not be so high. Well, maybe that's not true. I think most parents want their children to succeed, even if they aren't the brightest little star. I don't mean that to sound bad, does it sound bad? Sorry. I just don't get it though. We went from last years teacher praising Lindsay and not being able to say enough positive things about her, to this year where the teacher finds it hard to find something good. I think she likes Lindsay, so I don't know what the problem is.

Well, after I get those out of the way today, I am going to come home and relax. The dial will be turned to show tunes, that's riiiight {Ethel Merman singing voice} I am going to have a bowl of homemade arroz con leche, and I'm going to play Sims 2 till my hearts content. How can I afford this indulgent, lazy, and unproductive afternoon you might say? I am going to work like sixty to get every thing done this morning. Dinner will come from a crock pot and the kids will be left to entertain themselves.

Oh, and then I am going watch some of my favorite shows this evening. I just have to get through this afternoon, and then the rest of my day is going to be sweeeet! Until then, here's a little Calvin and Hobbes. Enjoy. If you have a hard time reading it, just click on it.
