Workin' Willie

Wm if off school today for some teacher in-service day (again).  So he gets to come to work with Mommy for a bit and then Mimi is going to pick him up and hang out with him for the rest of the day. Wm is besides himself with glee.  He keeps asking why he can't do this every day.  Though, his teacher was out sick yesterday and he LOVED the sub!  He had an "all green" day.  Hmmmm.

In other news, while it's not the "retire before 40 to the Caribbean" raise we had been expecting, the owner of Soccer First has been doling out new job responsibilities to Steve slowly and cornered him yesterday to tell him he has been SUPER impressed with Steve's awesomeness and gave him an on-the-spot 6% raise.  To be followed by another raise in January.  As part of his new role as Tournament Manager, Steve had to lead some meeting and was all nervous.  His tummy actually started to feel sick with nerves the morning before.  There were 8 people there.  Coworkers.  EIGHT.  Poor Steve.  I found this and it totally cracked me up (not so much Steve):

Wm and have a very exciting Daddy-free weekend planned. Lots of playing, shopping for mittens and slippers, the park, practicing writing our numbers, and lots o' reading! Maybe we'll even visit Daddy at work now that he's a Big Deal!
