Yes, People.
Even with the relocation & move to a new ‘hood I am still that mom.
Im excited when the Tornado has a day off from school & even MORE SO when it’s not because Ive slunk up to the office, fabricated an excuse & stolen her away for a day of play.
big thelma and little louise?
Today, to my delight, is a school-sanction playday.
An opportunity to git up early, work-like-the-wind, and spend the rest of the day living my priorities.
Ive planned some of this:
Get yours yet?
Lots of this:
calloused monkey bar hands.
Perhaps some joyriding:
the HAT kills me every time.
Definitely this. LOUDLY:
<3
MAYBE a little of this?
ahhh nappage…
We will probably get new tattoos:
Im eager to finish my back piece!
hers is almost done…
Im not yet certain what else….
must.explore.new.hood.
All I know is Im typically this:
love my RAW THREADS
but not today.
And you?
- Is your “work” technically closed today?
- Are you self-employed, able to work in the wee hours & gifted daywithchild?
- What are YOUR plans on this Presidents Day 2013?

February 18, 2013 at 4:30 amSounds like a joy-filled day. Enjoy every precious and beautiful moment. 🙂
Andrea says
February 18, 2013 at 4:48 amOkay, I do have to go to school today, but maybe it will be better if I belt out Defying Gravity in the car on the way there… I think I will!

February 18, 2013 at 5:33 amI was actually starting at that photo of your back piece for a while trying to figure out what it was (and about to comment how much I loved it) before I realized it was childs play 🙂
Cammy@TippyToeDiet says
February 18, 2013 at 5:56 amI’ll be a little about work, a little about fun today. Unless I can figure out how to make the work fun, and then it will be all day fun. And possibly some nappage.
Enjoy your holiday!
Barbara says
February 18, 2013 at 6:22 amA little play here, a little eye doctor checkup, and a little time with family. Our holiday weekend started last Friday. 😉

February 18, 2013 at 6:26 amEnjoy the day! We are coming off a couple of days away as a family–great to shut things off and enjoy each other!
nicole @ Making Good Choices says
February 18, 2013 at 6:59 amsounds like the PERFECT day! My 2 friends from college are coming to meet Olivia. We’re taking today (mostly) off too!
Coco says
February 18, 2013 at 7:05 amTrudging off to work, but counting on light traffic to make up for my extra cup of coffee at home and leaving early to be home in time to fix a real dinner. 😉

February 18, 2013 at 7:06 amWhat a fabulous day 🙂 Enjoy!
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
February 18, 2013 at 7:14 amSounds like you have some good stuff going on today! I already trained my clients this morning, so the rest of the day is for my boys (who are out of school)! The weather is supposed to be good today (hopefully we will hit 60 degrees), so we will be grilling out some burgers with the boys and hopefully doing some other fun stuff! Enjoy your day my friend!
Kim says
February 18, 2013 at 7:20 amFamily day here, too!!! Except my oldest son – he is paging at the capital!!
Love when boys have days off and husband doesn’t have to work!
Enjoy your time with the Tornado!!!
Nellie says
February 18, 2013 at 7:20 amSine the last 3 days have involved no blogging or internets and only family time I might take today to catch up. Since hubby is at work and it’s my day off I think a lot of family lounging is in order 🙂
Vera says
February 18, 2013 at 7:22 amYou two are so fun. HAve a fantastic priority-filled day.
Kat says
February 18, 2013 at 7:25 amYou girls are adorbs and should have the funnest day evarrrrrr
Fab Kate says
February 18, 2013 at 7:36 amToday is business as usual for me: both girls are in school, and I’m off to the gym in a couple hours.
lindsay says
February 18, 2013 at 7:41 ami hope you make even more callouses in those hands today! PLAY! <3
Lori says
February 18, 2013 at 7:41 amHave a fantastic day! It is a normal work day for me.
Jody - Fit at 55 says
February 18, 2013 at 7:42 amNo little cuties to play with here. The pics are so fun! I want to come along! I could be the camera person but I can’t guaranty how good those pics would come out. Tornado probably does better than me! 😉 Big Thelma & little Louise – cute! I think I could handle a tattoo like that too! 🙂
Kierston says
February 18, 2013 at 7:53 amI’m signing off now 🙂

Toni @Runninglovingliving says
February 18, 2013 at 8:34 amSounds like you are going to have a great day!!! I am officially off from my nursing job, but I have schoolwork, blogwork and errands to run…
Linz @ Itz Linz says
February 18, 2013 at 8:43 amhaha that shirt is awesome! have a fun day off with your little lady! 🙂 🙂
Tamara says
February 18, 2013 at 9:04 amAlas, no President’s Day here (no President being the reason and we don’t celebrate Prime Minister’s Day…. hmmm).
But last Monday was Family Day and we did have the day off to hang together. I did exactly what you’re doing. Got up early, got my work done and relaxed with my kids the rest of the day.
Have a great one!
Michelle @ Eat Move Balance says
February 18, 2013 at 9:09 amEnjoy the day off!! I know that I plan to! Time to recharge and organize for the week, but on my terms! Nothing rushed. 🙂
Crabby McSlacker says
February 18, 2013 at 10:39 amIt’s Presidents Day? How clueless am I?
The awesomeness of self-employment does tend to lead to a certain disconnect with “real life” in terms of weekends, holidays etc.
On the other hand, I get to make my own holidays and schedule, and work while others play, but play or shop when others are toiling and it’s less crowded. Thanks for the warning that MY weekday haunts may have other people in them today, accck!
katie says
February 18, 2013 at 12:09 pmsadly my work is not closed today. I’m hoping that when E gets older and we have these kind of holidays, I’ll be able to step away and enjoy some kiddo time!
Enjoy your day off!
mimi says
February 18, 2013 at 12:28 pmSchool was out last week for Mardi Gras, so we don’t get President’s Day off from school. That doesn’t mean we can’t have fun anyway, before and after!
Morgan@Balanced Daily says
February 18, 2013 at 12:43 pmI go to a private college, and according to them Presidents day is not worth acknowledging and I have class with an exam later on this evening! Enjoy your day off with your daughter! I’m sure you’re having a blast!
Laura @ Mommy Run Fast says
February 18, 2013 at 1:04 pmNothing much changes here today. Your daughter has the sweetest smile! Enjoy the extra time together today. Hope you get that nap. 🙂
Christine @ Love, Life, Surf says
February 18, 2013 at 1:40 pmEnjoy your day together!! I LOVE the Tornado’s hat. I think I need one for each of my boys. Self-employed means that Mommy gets the morning to try to get some work done and Daddy gets the afternoon.
