Rain, rain, go away!
Today is parent/teacher conference day. And early release. I never worry about the conferences, Riley never has problems. Always excels, like I said, she is my easy child. :) My son may be a different story! I am going to talk to her teacher to see if she has any suggestions as to what we can do to keep her in her current school district. We'll see. I have almost accepted that it's just not gonna happen. I think we may just have to let her go to city schools and try to get her in a different "city" school than the one she is zoned for. I just feel so bad for her. She doesn't know yet, but I asked how she would feel about going to a different school, and she got all upset and said "mama, I want to go to MY school until 5th grade!" It broke my heart. :(
On a happier note, she had her first softball game last night. It was so much fun! So much better than t-ball last year. She hit 2 out of 3 times at bat. The first time she got a double, scored 2 runs, and then they called her out for slinging the bat! She was so upset and started crying. She said "mama, I got in trouble" She gets embarrassed so easily. So we have to work on the bat slinging. She does it ALL the time! So much fun though! I love it!! All the girls did good. This is a funny age. They are pretty much in LaLa Land 90% of the time.
On the food front. I am getting in the groove and almost able to not really count the calories. I know about what I can eat and how much. At the end of the day, I will add them up and have been keeping it right around 1200 without even keeping track. It seems to be getting easier each day. My appetite has really decreased and my stomach has shrunk. I get full so much quicker. My biggest problem in the past was just eating WAY too big portions. Now I eat on a salad plate rather than a dinner plate.
Happy Wednesday all!
