Yes, my children (well my two youngest – sorry oldest child!) get this entire week off. They call it “president’s week.” Whaaat? Have you ever heard of such a thing?
Me either.
So I am free all week of the 6 a.m. alarm. How I hate that alarm, how I hate that time! My children still get up early but by the end of the week they’ll be sleeping in till oh, 7 a.m. And then I’ll have to readjust their schedule and they’ll get grumpy and a blah blah blah.
I just bored myself with that last paragraph. I apologize.
I cleaned like a freak this weekend – as in making my ceiling fan sparkle and polishing the bedroom furniture. You know, the stuff you forget to do until you glance up at your ceiling fan one day in horror because you noticed the thick layer of dust. Oh my word.
I entered a writing contest and got the results back. Immediately wondered why I torture myself with those sorts of things. Never again, I say. Never again!
Going to send off lots of stuff by the end of the month – revisions asked for, rewrites asked for, etc. etc. Stuff very important people have requested so take THAT contest results! See, people DO like my writing. Really they do!
Wow. This post turned into a mini rant. And I never rant about this sort of stuff so my apologies. But I feel really good to have gotten that off my chest so I won’t take it back. There’s no taksie backsies here! I stole that saying from a made for TV crap movie starring Heather Locklear. She screams that (“This ain’t no taksie backsie!” ) at her mean husband in a fake Texas accent. Made of all sorts of awesome.
Do you celebrate the week of presidents? Well you should have today off at least right? When I worked outside of the home I never got president’s day off, let alone president’s week. Ah, the good ol’ days. Not…

“This ain’t no taksie backsie!”
Heather Locklear had a recent made for TV movie? And I missed it? Sad. So very sad. Was it on Lifetime? No! Wait, don’t tell me because it will only make it worse if it was on Lifetime and I missed it.
We do like your writing by the way, matter of fact we love it. Kindle proves that.

I like your writing. Just get all your subs off and thumb your nose at those contest judges.
No Presidents week for us. We don’t have any more holidays until Easter.
Estella says:
We just have President’s Day where I live.

I’m pretty sure the Presidents would want your kids in school. Just saying.
