As if I needed ANOTHER good cry, Wende! We had Zoe's school conf. this morning and let's just say, I failed miserably at maintaining ANY amount of composure. I'll fill you in on my blog, later.

I had no idea! :) __________________________________________ <em> Having been the parent at dozens of parent/teacher conferences that did not end well, I was worried.
