So 2 weeks ago was April Fools Day. I don't get that into April Fools but I did teach the kids how to prank a few people. The kids played a couple of little jokes on me & their daddy, but the best one just carried over into today and bit me in the bottom! Roman, my 16-year old high school sophomore, goes to a Charter High School where he works on independent studies at home. He goes to actual school one day a week & turns in work and takes tests. On April Fools Day, I told him to tell his teacher that he was dropping out of high school completely & that if he decides to continue with school, he'll be going back to regular school. His teacher is a pretty fun guy with an outgoing personality and I knew he would get a kick out of the prank! He panicked and was telling Roman that he couldn't quit mid semester, etc. Anyway, Roman came clean & told him it was an April Fools joke & his teacher replied by telling Roman that he was going to get even and fail him! Lol! We had a good laugh and I had forgotten alllll about it!
Now for this week! Somehow, during the course of our day yesterday, Roman & I made a $5 bet on his grades for the week. He bet me that he could get 100% on both of his tests and I told him game on, but he didn't even have to get 100%, just A's would work. But I wanted proof before I forked out 5 bucks, so he had to bring me a signed paper from his teacher! He called around 11 and said he was ready to be picked up, so I asked him how he did. He told me I had to wait until he got home & I had no idea, even though I was rooting for A's! Bryan picked him up & when they finally came in, Roman handed me a paper, signed by his teacher that said he got 98% on both tests today. I was really proud, handed Roman his 5 bucks & when I went to give him a high five, he said, April Fools! From Mr. Ezelle!!! I was like, what?!?! So you really didn't get A's? He said no...he got 2 B's & his teacher said to tell me April Fools and that, "now we're even". LOL! I was cracking up & every time I think about it, it makes me chuckle! I love that his teacher remembered and that he has such a great sense of humor.
Other than crazy April Fools jokes, a busy and super fun Easter, April has been relatively mild so far! We are currently waiting for a final decision regarding little Levi, but if all of that gets out of the way, we will be able to move forward with finalization and have our family complete by summer! We are praying for confirmation of what we already know to be true today! We love him so much and I cannot even begin to imagine him not being with us. I recovered from surgery very well & feel much better, although I still get pretty moody at times. As far as being a mom of four goes, it's amazing! It might be more work, more stress, more money, more messes & less sleep, but it's also more hugs, more kisses, more I love you's, more rewards, more blessings, more learning, more growing, and so much more than I could have ever thought possible! And even though I don't even pretend to have it all figured out, maybe if I tell myself I do, I'll start to believe it eventually ;) Happy April everyone!! And please, continue to pray for some crazy weather changes! This valley desperately needs water!!
