A Day of Unexpected FREEDOM
Feb. 18th, 2011 09:13 amTonight, Mason has his very first ever sleep over at SOMEONE ELSE'S HOUSE!! His friend from Crossroads, Donte, called and they set up a time. Mason is supposed to bring along a pillow, his animal friends (a rabbit named "Sirralabwaydoh," after a girl in Mason's class, and a bear named what else but "Ted"), a couple of Star Wars Movies and some Harry Potter. Donte's mom checked in to make sure popcorn would be okay, and it sounds to me like it's going to be a fun-filled night. Fingers crossed that he doesn't do what Shawn and I both have done in our youth, which is freak out half-way through the night and call to get a ride home. But he will have his cell, and I let Donte's mom know that would be perfectly acceptable if he did want/need to come home. It happens to most of us some time, I think.
But... that means... Shawn and I have a childless house tonight. Even if he bails at some point in the night, we'll easily have several hours in which he will be happily occupied elsewhere.
AND, on top of that excitement, I just got a call from one of Mason's friends from kuk sool wan, Gregory. After class, Mason ended up bonding with Gregory over Pokemon and other DS games. They're going to have a playdate at his house... and the mom just said I could DROP OFF! OMG. Two hours to get errands done *on top* of getting to have some us-time with Shawn tonight.
Have I died and gone to stay-at-home parent heaven???
I may have. Now the question will be: will I use my powers for good or evil? Will I squander the opportunity or be ridiculously productive? And, really, which is better?? The bonus is, it looks like I have time to do a little bit of both. I mean, I can clean/errand/etc., and then goof off later tonight. How awesome is that???
