So I had parent teacher conferences this last week. For most of the kids anyway. I don't know if they had any at the high school. HOWEVER, for the other 4 kids in school, these were the best meetings I have ever had with teachers, EVER. Not one negative thing. Everyone is doing fabulously. Everyone is extremely conscientious, and kind to others. Organized and responsible. AND super smart... I tell you after I talked to Jacobs teacher I almost cried. I have been "fighting" with Spencer's teachers for 10 years now and I was afraid that was normal. Until Sariah started school and they said she was perfect. I thought she was the oddball out. Not true! the rest of my kids have turned out to be great in school too! It makes me feel such... relief. You know how you wonder if you're messing up your kids because of your own insecurities and failings and whatever else, mainly because they behave like heathens at home?(maybe that's just me)...But then you find out that they really are OK, not just OK but excelling! Sigh, what a relief. Now if we can just get them to be that way at home....

Whoop Whoop! I love great reports from teachers and anyone really who wants to praise my kids. I totally get the relief and you know what? You deserve it. You are a great mom or at least what I "see" of it from here :)
I'm a little worried for the first time this year. Kelten has always been very smart and excelled in just about everything but this year it's like his teacher is sending home fun little notes 2-3 x's a week about how he can't focus or he isn't listening. UGH! It’s hard for me as a mom not to feel like, well his work is getting done and he is doing it correctly why be picky about EVERYTHING --on the one hand and on the other-- I see her point. I have to tell him three or more times to do something and even then he often forgets before he even leaves the room! Here’s hoping I am just looking at the notes the wrong way but I think our conferences will be of the hairy sort next week fingers crossed I’m wrong :)
