Samantha's Day Off

Back in the days of teaching kindergarten and first grade, snow days were a beautiful thing. I got the whole day to sleep in, watch daytime tv, and just be lazy. I liked to celebrate those days by calling my mom and sister and reminding them, repeatedly, that I had the DAY OFF and that if they needed me I wouldn't be at work because I was AT HOME on a DAY OFF. They found these calls charming. :)

Well today and I just wanted to let you, my faithful blog readers, know that I have THE DAY OFF. Steve's got the kids all day, so if you need me, I'M NOT HOME. I'm not serving snacks, folding laundry, or doing the preschool drop-off. I won't be changing any diapers or putting anybody down for a nap. 'Cause I'm on a DAY OFF.

Can you tell I'm pretty excited??? This will be the first day in more than a year that I'll be away from the kiddos for more than 3 hours. The freedom is almost overwhelming. Now if you will excuse me, I'm off to take a long walk, go to Starbucks and read trashy magazines, and then meet a friend for lunch and shopping. You all have fun at your jobs!!!

If only I could take a day off and not be pregnant for like 24 hours. . . I've been bargaining with Rich. It's his turn to carry this baby around. . . just for a few days!
