Boy
and I had our own Golden Globe moment yesterday. But before I tell you
about that, I'll tell you about that morning. I set the alarm on my cell
phone for 5:30 a.m. At 6:30 a.m. Hubby asked
"What time do you want to get up?"
"Uh, 5:30 a.m. What the heck happened to my cell phone alarm?" I jumped frantically out of bed and rushed to the shower yelling
"Wake up, Boy!"
Poor kid, he was taking a standardized test that morning and this is NOT what he needed to keep him calm before the test. I don't know about you but nothing says get the adrenalin moving like waking an hour later when you have to be somewhere!
I have no idea why my alarm didn't go off. Everything still showed "go" for the alarm. I can only think that since it was connected to a power cord that had something to do with it. Arrrggggg
Fortunately we arrived 30 minutes early and Boy and I sat in the car and talked. Both our heart rates slowed and he went into the test calm. I went shopping so my heart rate was a happy camper!
As I sat in the car watching Boy come out of the building, I couldn't help but think "That kid has a rather smug look on his face!" Sure enough, he scored WAY above the college requirements in English, Math, and Writing. Writing!?! I might have to challenge their scoring system on that one, but I guess I'm a little harder than most because I know he can do better. He must have done better!!! LOL
Later while we were enjoying a What-a-burger celebratory lunch, he mentioned "I am a little 'smug' (I promise he used THAT word!) about my scores." I confessed to him that I thought the same thing watching him come out of the testing site. He proudly confessed "I do feel smug." I said "Great! Let's go get a flu shot!" Nothing says "smug" like a flu shot.
P.S. I'm feeling a little smug too. I received a final grade for one of my seminary courses. A rock solid "A."

P.S.S. So much for smugness: I just pushed a blankety blank button and deleted this whole post. Thankfully I had opened it up in a second screen to preview it so I was able to copy and paste. Otherwise you would not be reading a post today!!! So much for smugness. I am humbly posting now before I delete it again.
