Friday Morning

I'm trapped in the office at home. So I should be trying to make some sense of it. Or something. But I'd rather figure this out instead....ha ha ha.

Sparky asked to take his GameBoy to school today because Alex D. is bringing the instructions for Zelda(?) to daycare. I foolishly agreed without thinking and then had to work hard to convince him that it was a BAAAD idea based on the last time he took a GameBoy to daycare. He isn't happy with me. He says I "annoy" him when I yell at him (but he wasn't pouting OR using 'that' voice). I tried to explain that I wasn't really yelling at him about this, I just wanted him to think through what could happen if this GB got stolen like the last one. sigh This parenting thing is harder than I thought, and I even thought it was going to be hard. Can't wait for adolescence!! {snort}

So today: I told The Beast that after Lauri & Beth finish my house, I was going to go back to bed. I have another sinus headache starting AND a scratchy throat. I sense illness on the horizon, which I can hopefully cut off at the pass today. Then there are those chores I should do (KMart and Meijers).... we'll see how I feel by lunchtime.

Maybe I'm just sick because work has been so frustrating this week. I swear that I am going to lose it with people who not only ignore that I've got on headphones but also ignore the LEAVE ME ALONE hat. I hope we actually do get these office panels this spring/summer. Maybe that really will work like the boss says.
