So last night was the night CB was dreading and me too, as we were walking up to the school i told her i wanted to speak with her teachers (she has 2) alone as when she is with me i feel i can't ask questions incase i embarres her. So glad she's in the upper part of the school now as those wee seats are a nightmare. She's doing well they told me, i asked about what it had saud in her report card about her arithmatic and her being unconfident in it. What it actuall said if i read it right was she lacks confidence in her academic skills. Not to worry though they explained that she is doing well and at the level she should be bt she thinks she's pants at it. I asked the teachers to brig her in so she could hear that she is doing well and not to get so self concious when asked to read something out loud. To my surpruse at assembly last week she gave a presentagtion on a recent visit to a farm, does'nt sound like a kid who lacks confidence, there's 18 in her class and 197 in the school!!!. So we came home happy, have to say though when she was told to come in her face was chalk white, she thought something was wrong and she was gettig inot trouble, probabl did'nt help when she walked in and i said "your grouned" :))

A friend phoned last night and asked what i was up to tonight, told her nothing, we are staying in and watching a dvd. She asked if she could come over for a few hours i said yes. Her plan was to come over to mine and me to get a bottle of vodka and mixers and she would bring munchies...my yes turned into a no, i can't drink just now but it was more the fact that i was to go out and spend the best part of a score whilst she brought over a bag of dorittos and a dip. Sorry but i aint doing. I have a very pregnant mate just now and i have told her when she goes inot hospital i will look after her oldest, she's not due for another month but after seeing her yesterda there is no way she's going to last that long, there's 2 of us in her emergency list but i live closer and the kid goes to the same school as CB so it means if it happens through the week the wee barra wont miss school. Have told her she's not allowed to pop next weekend as i'm goinhg out, The scan pics you get these days are so good, you could see everything instead of just lines and you have to guess where the nurse has told you where everything is, it was more like one of those horrible 3d scans...i think there freaky i have seen a couple of them and they are'nt my cup of coffee.
