Back to School

It was strangely quiet in the house today.  The kids went back to school.  My son just entered the first grade, so it was the first time I had a whole day without kids. 

So, when my kids came home they asked, "Were you bored, hanging out at home all by yourself?"

"Heck, no!" I said.  I proceeded to go down the entire list of things I did.

"Wow!"  they said.  They couldn't believe I actually had that much to keep me busy.

"Yeah, and this is all the stuff I usually try to do when you're home.  Pretty amazing, isn't it?"

I could tell that they were impressed.  Maybe now I'll get a little respect!
