Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.
"knicked" from the United States Department of Labor (the only time you'll see me spell labour without the "u") web page.
Whatever!
I'm kickin' back this weekend. Two kids had school today. One did not. Crickles is home with me. He's not feeling well, so it's just as well he hasn't any school today. He has a cold or allergies. I think allergies. He had this a few days ago, it cleared up, and everyone else got sniffles, we're clearing up and now he's sniffling again.
I have plenty of Kleenex.
I am cleaning our bed linens today. I think the mattress suffered something awful on the move over the oceans. It has a funky smell. Okay, it really smells more like something huge and hairy not only slept on it for months, but also engulfed it in farts. I can only smell this obnoxiously faint smell when I lay my head down on my pillow at night and I am adjusting the top blankets. At first I thought it was the blankets - even though everything is clean. After stripping the bed, I now know. I fear it may be must/mold developing. We cannot buy a new mattress at this time, so I am going to buy one of those zip up gizmo's while we save up the dosh to buy a new mattress.
Tomorrow I'll be attending a Pampered Chef party. I cannot not go as it's a lovely person hosting, but I don't need anything either. The only thing I see that I want and could use is that $35 colander set. But, I know I can get something like that any old time - and cheaper - at Target. Okay, or WalMart. Chief is going to drop me off and take the kids to the cinema, if there's a good film to go see. If not, I reckon he could take them to the Dole tour. The thing is, I want to go on that tour, too. I'd rather be with my family. I think the gal hosting the party would completely understand if we went off and did something as a family.
Hope y'all have a blessed weekend!

Have a wonderful weekend!!!!
DON'T drink glass after glass of pineapple juice at Dole like I did, It was really hot and it was sooooooooo good. So I had bunches of glasses and got a horrible tummy ache. All that acid...
go.with.your.family.to see the pineapples. or whereever...
if she doesn't understand, then she's not someone you should be friends with...
i don't care for those parties.
i am VERY anti-social in real life.
does it show in this nasty comment i am leaving?
have a great weekend dearie:)
ps. my word verification is thinaint...and it SO applies to me...'cause thin i aint....
I like the pampered chef chip clippies for bag freshness....and they're cheap.
The mattress write up had me choking, perhaps I even gagged. I'm still recovering...
I HATE my mattress but tonight I will be thankful for it's smell-less-ness.
Oh, man....doesn't that get you...the mattress..well those things happen, I s'pose. I'm sure it is not just your imagination.
Hopefully the zipped cover will help and there are these linen sprays out now...you could put on the mattress cover before you put on your fresh linens that might help and won't be too strong. I simply cannot take mildews and such..I start sneezing immediately....like when you open an old book that has probably been in someone's basement...gahhhhhh!
OKAY...you knew the above is really from me..I know you do, but... :)
