slacker.

i have been hoooooorible about writing anything for my blog, not that my fan base reaches beyond my husband and parents (who check it religiously so you'll never see anything too juicy on here...). i'm at work right now and they must have the security temporarily down on our computers because usually i can't do anything with my blog here. the higher-ups don't want us having any fun after all. god forbid.

today we had parent-teacher conferences at the school where i am student teaching. it was very interesting and eye-opening, to say the least. we learned a lot about our students, and sometimes our parents (a little too much, in some cases...). sadly, not even half of the students' parents even showed up, which says to me "i care this much about my parents school life and education" (said while holding up their fingers to form the number zero). some might disagree, saying that parents are busy, busy people and it's not always so easy to steal away for a conference with their child's teacher. to that i say a big, fat ya right. your kid spends every monday through friday at this place for 9 months out of the year and you can't be bothered to show up for twenty minutes on one day out of that? i don't buy it. not to mention the fact that times were offered both last night and all day today. sad.

on another note, i have found a new blog i like. six until me is a blog i discovered while trying to find anything about other people with diabetes. i need to find other people who have and find out what they are doing. i've been type 1 for 12 years now, and still don't have things under control. i mean, my legs aren't about to fall off or anything, but i need to start makin' babies, and i can't do that with an A1c of 8%. technically it needs to be below 7%, which may not sound like a lot, but it's kind of like that lat 10 pounds you just can lose...very frustrating...
