My son is having a great week. To start out, he had TWO dates to prom. And since he doesn't have a job, he didnt pay for any of it, so that started it off pretty good.
Tuesday, he had his Thespian banquet. These are pretty boring, but there is a pot luck dinner beforehand, and the food is awesome, so I like to go. The cheese ravs were incredible, totally made it worth it.
We get to the part of the banquet where awards and inductions are being done. Dem got inducted into the Thespian club, so that was exciting in itself. They then started handing out awards.
I didn't think that he would win forbest supporting male for the spring play. His role was small, and he made thelead actor laugh in one scene. But I did think he had a chance to win for best supporting male from the fall play. His role was juicy, and he did steal a few scenes.
When they announced the winner, my wife and I turned to each other and said he was robbed. So when the award for Best Male Lead for the fall play was announced, we were stunned when they called his name.
I was so excited for him, and pround at the same time. Of course, I forgot my camera, but oh well.
Then today, he came home sick. When he called, I thought he was faking, and come to find out, he was. But all is forgiven, because he forgot his bag at home, with all his homework, so he avoided all 0's for his homework. He is at the stage he needs all the points he can get, so in retrospect, it was a smart, but frustrating move on his part. This time he was smart enough to get his assignments from his teachers though.
I, on the other hand, have been getting up at 4am all week so I can get my work done. I'm tired, and somewhat cranky, but what can you do. We just got mandated to work this Saturday, so I'm not thrilled with that. I had planned on watching my son play soccer, but oh well.
