Phew! I made it through the week

I had parent conferences this past week and I was totally EXHAUSTED by Friday.  Most of my colleagues were exhausted, too.  We have one late night (Wednesday) until 6:30 (if we only take a 1/2 hour dinner).  Everyone does that, so we can go home earlier than 7:00 p.m.  But, it makes for a really long, stressful day!  I had 21 out of 24 parents show up for conferences, so that was good.  And, of course, I learned some things about the parents.  One mother is a breast cancer survivor.  She's running in a race today (Saturday) and I wish her well.  She actually has such an upbeat personality that she not only survived, but is running in a race.  Another child's father is in prison...sigh...You never really know what kinds of family situations these kids are bringing to school.

ANYWAY, it WAS a long week!  Next week is only 4 days, however, then I have a 10 day break for spring break!  I CANNOT wait!   ;-)
