I am off today for Veteran's Day. I assumed Wm was off to - it's a bank holiday and it seems like that kid is never in school. Steve decided to take the day off too. But then we woke up this morning and saw all the kids walking to the bus stop. I got online and saw that Wm DOES have school today. But we'd been promising the kid he could have a 3 day weekend for 2 weeks. And we were late anyway. So I called him off. He's getting Steve cold anyway, I guess. But I am so mad at myself!!! Steve and I could so have used the day to do fun adult things! I don't even remember the last time we had any prolonged Wm-free time. And I blew it!!!! ARG! But Wm is, of course, thrilled.
Wm has also inherited my love of messing with people's minds. He got off the bus yesterday and says, "Mommy, I hate to tell you this - I got a red card today and there is a note in my backpack from Mrs. Couch." I'm all upset. And Wm keeps up the charade the entire walk home. He could have won an Oscar for the performance. We get inside and I dig out the note from Mrs. Couch. But it says he had an all green day and "exhibited great self control" that day! I look up and Wm has this huge, evil grin on his face and he screams, "I TRICKED YOU!!!!!!!" Then danced around and laughed like an insane person. I go, "let's trick Daddy!" So, when Steve got home, the trick was repeated to great success. Only this time, I got to dance around and laugh too since I was in on it. I told Steve how he got me too and Steve goes, "good god, he is totally your son...we are in trouble."
