no.297 what about yours?

two days of phone calls to the school attendance office.
two days of "i'm calling to report my son's absence due to illness..."
two days where i've struck up conversations with said attendance officer b/c i have the phone voice of a teenager
AND
i'm convinced they think i'm NOT someone's momma when i make the call.

i do

if you think i'm kidding,
think back to messages i've left on your cell or home phone.
i have
the
worst
message
voice
on the planet.
seriously-it stinks!
explaining why i could never be a voice over actor
or
really really good at making voices when i read stories aloud.

my brother D. now HE has a voice that leaves a message
D. can concoct a character faster than you can snap your fingers
mr. ben inheirited that trait from his uncle D.
pres and doodle, they are clearly their mothers children
and team leader...forget it.
he has two voices
ranger and rangerous
(heh...that cracks me up...rangerous)

so today i've made batch of calls part II and am at home with the boylies
with fingers crossed
that we are cruising into the path of wellness
rather than crashing on the street of sick.

umarmen und lieben
essie
(ps, just in case you wondered, not paranoid, just recalling the days of past when a certain ms. kadow would call in MY own absences.
until...
someone in the office realized that the caller did NOT have my mother's scottish accent and clearly could not be her on the line.
um yeah, kind of forgot about that detail...)
