I’m whining. Not complaining. Whining.
Kids get Spring Breaks, Christmas Winter Breaks, Summer, Labor Day, Memorial Day, Arbor Day, Fall Break, Groundhog Day, and We Think There May Be a Heavy Rain Day.
Where’s MY break?
Way back 1000 4 years ago when I was a teacher w/o kids, days off of school were fodder for teasing any and all non-teacher I knew. “Nannynannybooboo! I have a day off and youuuu dooon’t!” Yes, I actually say that. Yes, I’m 31.
And then, I just HAD to have a kid. I mean two.
And now I don’t get no satisfaction vacation.
As my BFF’s ex-husband says, “What goes around, comes around.” He also said, “Just breath,” so I’m not sure if he’s the best person to listen to when it comes to advice and quips.
Now, all you people without blood/life-suckers hangers-on kids, you can now commence teasing that I get no bacation vacation.
You’ll get yours, sucka.
As for you homeschoolers who have your kids 24/7/365.25. You are saints. Or crazy. Either one.

What about my Spring Break? Doesn’t Dad get one too? It’s not like I fully enjoy being in a loser cruiser cubicle all day. BTW, didn’t we just sort of get one in NY?

No kidding! We should petition for a Mommy’s week off. (or Daddy’s as the case may be) Time off from spouse, kids & all the myriad of household jobs we do. *sigh* That would be great..

I think I read somewhere once how the US is one of the few industrialized countries that don’t have nationally mandated holidays (or something like that). I’d sign a petition to get “Mommy’s Day” – no work for women! (Just so the men don’t get peeved, I’d allow for a “Daddy’s Day”, too.)

I am all for “Mommy Day”! I could use a little break. I need ADULT conversations. My husband gets to talk to adults, where are my adults? *pout*

Well, you can always lock yourself into the bathroom for hour or five. Maybe you could take a book. A scented candle even.
Or a gun to fend off intruders.

this is the only reason i fear homeschooling! being a former homeschooler i know what my mom went through and what is in store for me, yet i still WANT to do this!!!
ps… my 2yo hasn’t yet destroyed her house and she has had it for a few weeks (kicked it, knocked it over and walked on it, drags it around the house with her, and it’s still in one piece) i’m putting one up on my etsy today with more to follow. just thought you might like to know!

LOL….I just started working at another school with minimal breaks! I kinda get sad when I see all my teacher friends go on break and I can’t go with them!
Oh well, the less stressful job is so helpful!

Not a saint. And not just crazy. More like the stark, raving mad kind of insane. Hehe.
