Memoirs

It could be a long day.

Tonight is Friend Night. That is just a friendly reminder, in case friend Ben is reading. We changed the day this week, because my in-laws are coming in tomorrow night. So, he asked me to remind him, like I would EVER let him forget. So, I’ve reminded him by a text message, a tweet, gtalk, email, and now a blog post. I like to give him that feeling that I am inescapable, because I am. I’d like to think that creeps him out just a little. ::insert evil cackle here::

I woke up a whole hour late today. When I wake up late on school days, I try to convince myself that Aidan has a cold so I don’t have to even bother. I’ll say something like, “Aidan we have to go really fast this morning or you’ll be late for school.” And then I’ll say, “Do you just want to stay home today?” It never works, she loves school. Then I’ll say, “Does your throat hurt?”  “Nooooo  mommy!”

I’ve been looking for reasons to get out of school since I was in Kindergarten. I usually succeeded too. I just told my mom that I didn’t feel good and then I give a fake little cough, and I’d be watching You Can’t Do That on Television, all day long. Thankfully, Aidan loves school. So I wont be teaching her how to write her own excuses in 4th grade, like my mom taught me.

My mom would also be like, “you want to stay out of school today and go shopping?”

“Yes Ma’am.”

Of course, I would want a friend to go, so we would talk Bekah’s mom into letting her go too. [Hi Bekah!]

So, that’s why I am unreliable and unable to commit to things. But I am happy with it. I’d like to think it makes me unique.

  2. Hate to burst your bubble, dear, but you are not unique. Well, you’re unique, but you’re not the only one who hated school and tried EVERYTHING to get out of it. School is boring and most kids are mean little jerks.

    Thanks for the 13 reminders. I’m so glad technology is advancing at such a rapid rate. Before too long your hologram will be waking me up in the morning with a little-too-cheerful “FRIEND NIIIIGGGHHHTTTT.”

    But you weren’t very cheerful today, so I am going to do a little blog post myself. About you. A little later.

    Right now I going to go get lunch with Isaac.

    ANNND considering that I was putting up with you, I’d consider myself a saint today.

  4. And yeah, remind me to play those recordings of Anne and Madeline (and Lily had one too, but I didn’t show Laura ’cause I thought I was annoying her with “OMG Laura, listen to THIS one.”)

    PREcious.

    They need to start a family band so we can exploit their talent. I’m tired having to go to work, but I could manage the Senecal family singers.
