I don't know about any of you, but I am so going to relish my next four days off! While I reflect today on our freedom as a country, I will also be thankful that I'm off work! The last two and half weeks have been so intense -- 10 and 11.5 hour days, bringing work home....was actually emailing some of my books to the accountant at 9:45 last Saturday night!
I've family coming in town today and easy child and difficult child have been so great pitching in and getting everything ready for company while I've been working. Just yard decorations and some side salads to make this morning.
Speaking of difficult child, he started working under our maintenance supervisor three weeks ago and loves it (his eyes popped out of his head when he got his first check)! He used to work weekends as a bar back, runner, and buser at our venue but really didn't enjoy it. He now works 25-30 hours a week and it is labor intense. Had his first experience with an eviction this week and came in with an armload of treasure that the tenants had left behind (can you say junk?!). He is exhausted but really happy and loves the painting the best! Who knew my difficult child would love hard work? It might kinda play to his whole adhd/social issues as he doesn't have to deal with the public and is jumping from painting, to plumbing, to cleaning, to hauling, etc., every day.
But, I am going to relish the next four days! I hope my fellow Americans enjoy the day and find some time to relax.
