This morning I didn’t get very far with my deception. We had both Monday and Tuesday off, because the band & choir went on a little tour. I was putting my socks on this morning when Lauren came up stairs and said, “I’m wise to you, buddy.” I was surprised that she found out, but at least I hadn’t put on my school socks yet. In a prefect world she would have found out before I got out of bed and told me to sleep in (you can’t get any real yard work done until after 8:00 anyway with stupid Daylight Savings Time). She had a 2 hour break in the middle of the day and brought me some lunch. Then she helped with the yard by doing 5,6 and generally documenting the snot out of things.
Three times over the last two days Beth stopped by and all three times I was sitting at the computer, “taking a break”. I couldn’t convince Tara to do any raking, but I got done anyway. The last leaves were put in the, so called, compost pile a little after 6:30. I can’t wait to get back to work.
