Conference Day usually comes with its share of ups and downs. Today it started in a panic when I awoke at 6:10 to realize that my alarm didn't go off at 5:00 like it was supposed to. My first conference was scheduled for 7:00. I don't know if it's really possible to run through the shower but I sure felt like I did. In fact, I was on the run from the time my bare feet hit the floor until I headed out the door 2o minutes later. I'm not sure how I did it, but I managed to get a shower, dry my hair, put on a little make-up and grab a large cup of coffee before storming out the door. I was in my classroom and ready to go by 6:50.
It was a tough start but thankfully, that was not a sign of things to come. The day went smoothly. Yes, there was a somewhat contentious conversation with one parent but I believe we parted ways feeling satisfied with the end result.
The workday may have had a shaky start but in the end the day was a successful one--that's always a good thing.

It's truly a large slice of life to oversleep on conference day. I'm glad the rest of the day was almost flawless.
ReplyDeleteI hate starting out behind! At least you were able to grab a large coffee. Glad you were able to come to an agreement with the parent. Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteHmmm - you sure looked together and confident by the time we saw you! You were the epitome of the well-organized and caring teacher! Thanks, Mary!
