It’s all up to me

We were so slow at conferences last night and Wednesday night is usually busy from the second we start until we’re done.  Today is going to be slow but it concerns me that fewer and fewer parents take the time to check in with the school to see how their kids are doing.  Parents are always all over our butts if we aren’t letting them know about their children but yet some parents can’t be bothered to spend 30 minutes one evening to see how their kids are doing.  It’s just frustrating because it’s generally the parents of the kids that you need to talk with the most who avoid conferences.

 OK, enough bitching.  I’m just going to try focusing on the parents who do show up because we do appreciate you.  Food-wise yesterday sucked and I’m guessing today is going to be more of the same.  Our schedules are totally wacky and during the 90 minute break we have for lunch I have to run around, get kids from daycare, feed the baby, feed myself and get back to school.  I’m going to do the best that I can but I know it’s not going to be perfect.  I also skipped my workout this morning because with me being gone last night the baby got off his schedule and didn’t go to bed until after midnight.  Nope, I wasn’t getting up at 5 to hit the treadmill.

So I’m going to do the best I can to minimize the damage and refocus myself tomorrow.
