Sunday Evening

Well, it's the end of the weekend, time to think about the day ahead.  MONDAY...  Not one of my favorite days of the week..

Well, if you are already contemplating on whether or not to call in sick tomorrow, check out these "excuses" I found tonight:

1. Employee was poisoned by his mother-in-law.

2. A buffalo escaped from the game reserve and kept charging the employee every time she tried to go to her car from her house.

3. Employee was feeling all the symptoms of his expecting wife.

4. Employee called from his cell phone, saying that he was accidentally locked in a restroom stall and that no one was around to let him out.

5. Employee broke his leg snow boarding off his roof while drunk.

6. Employee's wife said he couldn't come into work because he had a lot of chores to do around the house.

7. One of the walls in the employee's home fell off the night before.

8. Employee's mother was in jail.

9. A skunk got into the employee's house and sprayed all of his uniforms.

10. Employee had a bad case of hiccups.

11. Employee blew his nose so hard, his back went out.

12. Employee's horses got loose and were running down the highway.

13. Employee was hit by a bus while walking.

14. Employee's dog swallowed her bus pass.

15. Employee was sad.

Our receptionist once called in to say that she couldn't come in because she had fallen in a gopher hole.  Surprisingly, that didn't make the list. 

Saturday Nicholas was wailing in the car complaining that his ear was hurting, but today he has gotten better.  He is supposed to start a full day of preschool today, and I'm not quite sure if I should just stay home with him.  Andrew has no school tomorrow, but my mother has a doctor's appointment tomorrow that I have promised to take her too.  Life would be so much easier if I lived in the same town my employment is, but I don't.. :SIGH: 

So for now, while no one is throwing up at the moment, I will enjoy this special time in front of the computer...  I cannot tell you how tired I am playing Playhouse Disney and NickJr., and watching the Disney Channel and SpongeBob all weekend...  Errr..  I think I need to step away from the computer and take a nice, long, hot uninterrupted bubble bath.
