That you are doing both!
As for the principal being a particular type of animal? Well You have to admit it comes with their job? Good that your husband's going with you tho....
I never go to any doc appointment or other legal things [a friend has had some problems] w/o a steno pad and 3 working pens! That I write down all that's being covererd, well, no wool is being pulled!
With some folks, that gains respect, with others fear - depends on how they plan to 'play games' or get things done. Me? I find that it's always good to have a back-up set of ears+brains in important situations....this will be one. Just be your nice, factual assertive self. Never lie, nor volunteer facts. BUT always be truthful so you dont get caught up at a later date.
Now don't fret, rest, and keep your feet dry? Or, better yet, send some of that wet up here? No water rationing/restrictions yet.....
Take care - j
