Tennis

I got home at decent time this morning, even with the detour on Hwy 23. I decided to watch "The Incredibles" and wait for the alarm to go off so I could see the boys off to school.

They wake up, get ready, and are off to school - or so I think. I'm getting back to the movie when Boy 1 comes back in the room and asks me put the clothes in the dryer.
I ask him, "Why don't you just put them in?"
He says, "I just put them in the washer. I have a game tonight and my tennis clothes are in there. And pictures are today. OH! Pictures!"

Then he wanders off to get the picture order form that he's had all weekend but has decided to not give to me until 5 minutes before school the day of.

So I continue to watch the movie until it's done, and wait another 19 minutes so that the washing machine finishes the cycle. After all, it's not like I really need to sleep. I only worked 13 hours last night.

After school, Boy 1 pops in to the bedroom and asks if I wanted any pictures.

Yes. Of course I want pictures.

He asks, "Did you call mom?"
I said, "No. She still owes me over $200 for the school pictures, basketball pictures, newspapers, etc. But you can call her if you want."

So he does.

She asks him, "What are the (package) options?"

He repeats the question to me.

I answer, "She either gives me some money or she doesn't get pictures."

He thought I was funny and broke out laughing.

The Granite Falls Tennis Team won tonight. It's the first match that they won as a team in 3 years! Boy 1 and his doubles teammate won their games, too.

A good day in the life of me. And the tennis coach's too, I'd guess!
