Labor Day

Labor Day: a day for working even harder than ever, right?



How are you spending this glorious Labor Day? Hilltop Academy's principal declared this a school holiday, so I thought great, I can get some other stuff done today!



After futitle attempts to sleep in (I left strict orders not to be disturbed, but running around downstairs and playing guitar are apparently not considered disturbing by others), I ate breakfast in bed (courtesy of my daughter). Next on the agenda: take a shower, and head down to my desk for a round of dealing with the ever present piles of paper on my desk, which includes stuff to be filed, schedules for five people to supervise, and bills to pay.



I plan on going grocery shopping later today. Not a spectacular way to spend a day off, but today will be the only day this week that I will have time to shop. The rest of the week is filled with school, music lessons, volunteer work, farm chores, a tupperware party, trips to the post office, and preparing for an out of town trip. I am hoping to squeeze in a dinner out with my husband.



I have friends that wonder what I do all day, because I don't have a job outside of the home. I mean, geesh, all I have is a husband and 3 kids at home, a child at college who still needs my attention from time to time and a house to take care of, a horse and a pony, chickens, cats a dog, and I homeschool. It's not like I sit around all day eating bon bons and watching soap operas.



This holiday won't be too different from most other days, except we won't have school today.



Happy Labor Day!
