Can't sleep..

It is 3:00 in the morning and I can't sleep. I slept for awhile, but now...well, here I am. Let's see. What to type about.

Thursday was parent teacher conferences. Now if I was a betting person, I, and so many of you, would have said Henry would not have gone to the conference. But to everyones surprise he showed up. Of course he had to ruin it by showing up smelling of booze and looking to me like he was half in the bag. Good going. I should have expected it, but as usual I hoped that he would be a good father, and at least be sober. I don't know if the teacher was able to tell, but I have a keen sense and know all the signs. Most people can't tell.

Enough of Him. William was why I went to the conference. As I expected he was given rave reviews by his teacher. I am very proud of him. This was his first report card with letter grades. Previously all the grades were checks or pluses. Now they are real grades! He got A+ (99-100) in English, Social Studies, Math, Science, and Spelling. A (95-98) in Reading. For gym he got a G (85-92) and he got O (93-100) in Hand Writing, Art and Music-Vocal. I find it funny that he didn't get a better grade in gym. I guess he is like his Mom and doesn't really care for it!

Will was student of the month this month and Henry got to see his picture on the bulletin board outside the office. I had already seen it. Also for Veterans Day he had to do a project about a veteran he knew. He did his on Uncle Glen. It is also hanging on a bulletin board at school. When we get it back I think I will send it to Uncle Glen. I think he would like it.

William introduced his Dad to his teacher. He was very nervous. He stuttered a bit and turned beet red! It was sooo cute. He wants to set his Dad and his teacher up. I am all for Henry dating someone new. I HATE his present girlfriend....commonly known as the TRAMP.

The teacher said that Will is very responsible and helpful. She thinks that sometimes he is bored. She wants to be sure he remains motivated to learn. Unfortunately there are alot of kids in the class that are not up to where he is and sometimes he has to sit there and wait till they can catch up.

William, so far, has perfect attendence. Hopefully he can keep it up for the whole year. If he does, he will be entered to win an Ipod. I told him not to keep his hopes up. There is a drawing of all the perfect attendees. So odds are not in his favor! But I hope he gets a full year of no absences!
