17. I'm lucky I was able to get out as much I as did.

It was sprung on me at the last minute and I was totally off the cuff, writing the note directly on the permission slip. All permission slips are added directly to the student's file so I knew that, at the very least, the teacher would have the note in hand.

My child tends to give me notes that need signed the night before they are due, instead of when she first receives them. If I had received it immediately I could have formulated a better response. As it is, the response was written with two glasses of wine down, which I felt I deserved after a 70 hour work week.

It doesn't much matter what I say since I'd be surprised if I receive any response at all from the teacher or the school.
