Catching up

First quarter ended on Wednesday. Odd, but there it is. I don't ever remember having a quarter end in the middle of the week, but since I'm not on the calendar committe, I just go with it. Anyway, that means only 3 more to go! Ha ha ha. We will have parent-teacher conferences next week, which are usually pretty laid back for me. I don't have a lot of parents searching me out; I usually get the overflow from the science teacher next door. But, it's time to get lots of other stuff done, and it means I actually have to clean off my desk. It is currently buried under several piles of paper. By next Thursday, however, it will be organized! Or, at least, thrown in a box where parents can't see it.

Last night I took my middle school girls roller skating for their end of the season party. We have generally gone bowling in the past, but this year's 8th graders wanted something different. And just because we went roller skating does not mean I roller skated. I'm no dummy. I may have some pretty darn good health insurance, but that doesn't mean I have to use it! But the kids had a lot of fun, and I had a lot of fun laughing at them!

I am headed to EC this weekend to go see "This Is It" with Mikki, Jen & Alex. I love Michael Jackson music! He was a bit... weird... to say the least, but he always made good tunes. I did turn down Jen's offer to buy me a rhinestone glove, though.
