(that hashtag title stands for “throw back thursday”)
The Monday after Christmas, Kevin and I were enjoying the time off and slept in. Actually, Kevin slept in and I laid in my bed reading my book and listening to the boys watching tv downstairs.
Ricky quickly came into our room and frantically said, “Momma! It’s 8:06!”
I wasn’t sure about the significance of that, so I replied, “Yeah it is.”
Ricky then went on, “Why is no one freaking out but me?!!”
I started paying a bit more attention at that and realized Ricky was all dressed in school clothes. The light came on in my tired mom brain and I calmly said, “Son, there’s no school today.”
Ricky’s response wasn’t nearly so calm. He shrieked, “WHAT?!”
He quickly calmed down though and joined his brothers in their tv watching vegged-out state.
