School has been called off due to rain. Not the whole school system, but ours has. Kyndal was feeling really rough yesterday, probably sinuses but they caused her to have a bad sore throat. She didn't go to school today. I didn't sleep very well and just felt cruddy when I woke up this morning. Plus, it was pouring and thundering and lightening. Rick and I laid in bed and cuddled for a minute. I was just feeling exhausted and had a headache. He told me I should take it easy today. I told him I was tempted to not have school today, and to even keep Eli home. He said he thought that was a great idea. He slept a little longer and went into work a tad late. I slept until 9:30. When Eli and Brynne woke up I told them that we weren't going to have school today. They said, "Yes!" Brynne said, "Because it's raining, right?" I told them this was just a special day and not to ever ask mommy to cancel school.
Do you ever just call a Day Off? Do you ever just call a day "on account of rain"?
Sometimes we just need to.
Oh yes! Rain days are so special to my family. My husband is a land surveyor and when it rains he cannot do his job; I clear the schedule and routine and we enjoy a spontanious family day :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy today and the rainbow to come after the storm!
Sometimes that's exactly what you need to re-charge and get back on task. I've been reading in various places about "February Burnout". It seems that it's common to feel just blah this time of year. I know I'm feeling it. We've only been working half days this week just to try and get a breather in.
ReplyDeleteGet some rest!
Absolutely. It's helps clear the mind. ;)
ReplyDeleteI hope your day of rest helped! It sounds like you all needed a break!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your idea! We have a "4" day school week ourselves. Friday's is our day to do whatever we choose. Field trip or just pajama day. We need it, don't we??
