Conferences

I went to conferences last night for all 3 of the kids. I am not a fan of the high school conferences because there is just so many people. In the fall when I went it was the first time all 3 of the kids were at the high school. I had to go both nights because I could not see all their teachers in one night with the lines being as long as they were. Yesterday when I got home from work I started dinner and exercised like I normally when do when dinner is cooking. Nick got home from work at 5:15 and I was sitting ready to go. He said they don't start til like 6:00 I said I know but I want to get there early so I don't have to go back tomorrow night. He said aren't we eating before we go and I said nope dinner is done we can eat when we get home. I told him to hurry up and get ready to go LOL. We got to the school at 5:45 and started the rat race. I was like a mad woman trying to find all their teachers and which ones didn't have lines and ordering the kids and Nick around. I told them ok she has a line you go stand in that line and I will talk to this teacher because she does not have a line LOL. I was a woman on a mission! Guess what? My mission was accomplished by 7:15 wooooo hooooo victory for me. I was so happy! I seen the first teacher I talked to last night and he said well???? I said yes I am done and don't have to come back tomorrow night. As we were walking out to the car I was sad because it dawned on me that was the last conference for my son Dom. Time goes by so fast. I have been a little emotional lately about this. The other night when I went to the senior all nite party meeting I came home and kept telling him I love him. He said mom are you getting weepy because I am graduating soon. I said yes! I told him I remember reading to him our favorite book like it was yesterday and now your a man. He did find some humor in that tho. So the question is? Am I really that old too LOL. It is just so hard to believe! All the kids got good conferences. It is so funny with the twins because they are so different in personality. In their classes tho they both struggle in the same things. When they did their first MEAP tests I was shocked to see that they scored exactly the same in the same areas. It was just weird. It does continue in high school too. So they appear different in many ways but their thinking patterns must be the same.

When I got home last night I had to bake a cake for the guy at work because today is his birthday. I am not sure if I have said this before but I can't BAKE. I can cook up a storm but baking is not my thing. I was gonna make cupcakes but decided not to because it was 8:30 and I wanted to watch Idol and cupcakes are too time consuming LOL. The cake came out of the oven looking great! I let it cool then covered it. I got up this morning to frost it and as I was frosting it the top layer was peeling off. WTH that always happens to me. Does anyone know why? I brought it to work anyway and said you all know I am not a baker LOL. Anyway it is the thought that counts isn't it?

So thats all I have for today. I hope everyone has a great day!
