Friday has finally arrived! I awoke to my world being blanketed in snow. It's prettier that way but it sure makes me want to stay at home in my sweats and watch movies all day. Yet here I am...workin! What a trooper, eh? :)
A couple of months ago, Matthew, my middle son, popped off, "Hey Mom, you gonna give me a hundred bucks if I win the school spelling bee?" "Sure, Matt.", was my answer. Didn't think twice about him actually winning. Not that I doubt my son's intellectual ability at all, but he's a 6th grader and most of those competing were 8th graders. He ran in a few days later hollerin', "You owe me a hundred dollars!!!!". That'll teach me to make a split second bet.... Taylor wasn't impressed in the least.....not only did her little brother BEAT her in the bee, but now he had money to burn too.
So, a hundred dollars later....he has also won the regional spelling bee and we are on our way today to Tulsa to the state spelling bee held tomorrow. He's more excited about the indoor pool in the motel! Okay, maybe I am too, a little.
