In the spirit of the top ten list, I'm going to choose "playing hooky" from class as number ten. 1hook·y [hoo
k-ee]
k-ee] –noun
unjustifiable absence from school, work, etc. (usually used in the phrase play hooky ): On the first warm spring day the boys played hooky to go fishing.
Origin:
1840–50, Americanism ; perhaps alteration of phrase hook it escape, make off
In my defense, I believe that I really did have a justifiable reason for not being in class for the second half of my scheduled day.
I left today after my main block of individual classes today to be home with my children since they were being let our early for Spring Break. It I had not left and stayed for my full day of classes, the oldest two of my children would have been home by themselves for close to five hours and I didn't want them to have to do that. I also looked at it as a chance to do those pesky errands that I usually run throughout a normal month like paying bills, running kids to appointments, picking up various items needed in the household, etc. So, I left and I have not regretted it.
What did I do? Well, I did all of the above errands, which desparately needed to be done, and I was home when my oldest two jumped off the bus. I spent time with my kids that was so very welcomed by both me and the kiddies, and I made supper.
So, I say that the number ten spot on my countdown of necessary things to do is, playing hooky. Don't judge, you know you do it to.
