Thankfully Employed

This is why I can't have too much time off in a week. It becomes extremely bad when it's two consecutive days. Because here I was, off Tuesday and Wednesday this week. Tuesday I could handle, there were tons of things to do. Phone calls, laundry, cleaning, errands, etc. But Wednesday comes and nothing. Then suddenly I remember that it's St. Patrick's day, and I have a waffle iron just begging to be dusted off. So I surprise the kids and what do I get? "Ma it's green."... "Yeah, it's St. Patrick's Day".... "Well I'm not eatin' that"... and so it goes. My morning masterpieces were once again wasted on my lovely munchkins. And since the waffles weren't gonna eat themselves, I ate them... all of them. I fear that I'll have to report next Tuesday that I am not the Biggest Loser, as I will definitely fall below the yellow line after this one single breakfast. So the kids make a hasty retreat out the door to school and I am left with more time...

So I start looking around the house, and think to myself "I'll take what's behind wall number one." Now that I'm thinking about it, this is probably why I shouldn't have a saws-all either. Anyway, I did not find anything exciting as you can see, no pot of gold, buried treasure, or even a 100 year old penny (so much for traditions). Now this little project has ensured that I now have something to do next week when I also have two consecutive days off. Bonus!

Now I realize that the house is yet again a mess and I must clean. Seriously, I think I may need to have my head examined. Once clean up is finished, I must leave the house or risk taking out another wall. So in an effort to regain control, I head down to the beach for a walk because I could practically feel the waffles attaching themselves to my butt.

It's a beautiful day here too. Sixty degrees, barely any wind, loads of sunshine, the perfect day for walking on the beach. Mother Nature is in a great mood today, the whole world is in harmony, Spring is springing...etc...etc... Well, some one forgot to tell Neptune. Because this is what the beach looked like today. No beach to be seen, ten foot waves, 15 foot spray over the sea wall, and me without my snorkel.

So there you have it, I went back home and mindlessly played on the computer until the kids were out of school. Totally wasted the rest of the day. I actually read some 30 plus of the randomly re-forwarded emails. My only salvation is that summer's coming and I'll soon be working 6 days a week again, that, and I have sufficiently made enough work from the hole in the wall to keep me busy for the next three weeks. I did however find wisdom in one of those random forwarded emails. It read, "After Monday and Tuesday, even the calender says W T F. "
