knock knock whos there

It’s 7:10 AM and William is in his first time out of the day! To top it off, I’m going to have to deal with him in this mood all afternoon. The kids have half days due to conferences. I really seriously think I’m not picking him up from school today. And when they call and tell me I forgot him and he’s in the office waiting for me, I’m going to say “you keep him”! Oh but I guess that’s not going to work since I have both kids conferences today, humpf! And I have to go through the office to get into the building. Oh well, guess I have to pick him up.

Here’s how it started.

Me: William get dressed or you are going to school in your PJ’s
W: Goofing off
Me: William do you think I won’t send you to school in your PJ’s?
W: Goofing off
N: Mom, I can’t find a shirt to wear.
Me: Let’s see I just did at least 10 loads of laundry this weekend, and you are telling me there was not one shirt for you in any of them?
N: (laugh) I just can’t find one.
Me: Into the bedroom, into the closet, pull out a shirt, brace myself for the “I don’t want that one” argument
N: That’ a good one, thanks MOM!
Me: SOOOOOOOOO happy she didn’t argue with me
Back to William

Me: William get dressed or you are going to school in your PJ’s
W: Knock Knock
M: Who’s there?
W: Mom
M: Mom who?
W: MOM I REALLY need socks, MOM!

Then he got dressed. Poured his cereal, and started eating it like a dog. That’s when I lost my patients and sent him to his room.

M: William I think you woke up on the silly side of the bed today, you need to go back in there get back into bed and get up on the right side of the bed please!

I sure hope the day gets better. I think I’m going to get the bikes out so he can burn off some of that energy. Can’t wait to hear what the teacher has to say about him after today.

Christmas Whispers

William is going through the Lands End catalog whispering "Santa, will you get that for me for Christmas". “Santa, can you get that for my sister for Christmas, she really wants one”.
