I got an extension on my homework. Do you have any idea what that means? More time to procrastinate. Did I use the surprise pregnancy of an excuse? Why yes I did. It is time limited so I must use it to the fullest. So far it has gotten me foot rubs every single night, my choice for dinner, extension on homework, and a nap at work. Wait, the nap was not approved, but their were no witnesses and I used the excuse on myself.

Do I make up a lot of excuses? Yes I do! I have been an excuse maker since I first learned the art as a young child. My sister Moses, was my first excuse, her hyper activity always seem to play in my advantage. My mom was usually at wits end with her anyhow, so it didn't take much to make her the bad guy. Moses always made me do it.

I remember when she learned the F-Word at school. She came home and told me "Go tell mom F-U!" So like a fool I went up to my mother and said with a huge smile on my face "Hey mom, F-U!" SLAP, SLAP, SLAP!!!!! Through my pain, I cried out "Moses told me to say it!"

I got Moses back when I was in the "play with matches" stage. I had been lighting matches and watching them make little black spots on the gold carpet in our bedroom. I was so young I thought the black marks would clean right up, but no they were burn marks. Moses caught me and said "Mom is going to kill you!" I pleaded for her assistance and she moved her bed over the burns.

The next day our Mother decided to clean up our room because grandma was coming to town. She had found the burn holes. She demanded to know "WHO DID THIS?" Without thinking I shrieked "MOSES DID IT!" Moses looked at me like I was the devil. My mother gave her no time for response! SLAP, SLAP, SLAP! Mom walked out and Moses looked at me red faced and tear steaming down her face "How could you?"

So anyhow. I am excusing my self to put off my work until tonight, or maybe tomorrow or maybe even the ever rushed Monday crash. We'll see my money is going on Monday.
