So, I managed to take most of the day off. I watched plenty of trashy shows. I just can't get over the make up on the girls on 90210. Who wears that much lipstick? Or whose hair is that platinum blond and doesn't move when they turn their head? I went to Walmart with the hubby, which didn't count as work because we were just wandering, no shopping list in hand. I went to the library and picked up another round of fascinating books. Have you been keeping up on the list to the right of this blog? Are you stumped how I find the time?
I have decided that an entire day off is overrated. I get sort of stir crazy. I prefer the satisfaction of accomplishing my daily chore list, which I then reward with at least an hour of off time. Plus, I need to force myself to workout. I haven't been enjoying it as much since we moved here. I don't know if it's because I feel more tired all, or there isn't anyone to hang out with. When my sister comes, I can have more motivation. Of course, it will be hotter outside. But I will spend more time in the pool as well. Which is good, because it will counter my increased ice cream consumption.
So, I think I will just enjoy the few hours I get off during the day. But it was a great experiment. Plus, I think it might've been a bit better if hubby hadn't been home for half the day....

Sorry - I had a spelling error and I just can't stand it!
What I said was:
I'm glad you got some R&R - even if not for the whole day.
You must be a speed reader. Do you remember all the stories or eventually move them out of your brain to make room for more?
My 13 y/o is a very, very fast reader. It makes for some trouble when his teachers don't believe that he can read that fast and retain anything. Last week he had problems with a sub at school who called him a liar when he told her he was done with his book. She embarrassed him in front of the class. I told him that some adults don't believe kids can do something that they can't and that next time he can tell her that. -We'll see how that goes!
