a dead day

I barely got anything done! DD8 called complaining about her eye really bothering her (it has for a couple of weeks), so I ended up taking her to the dr., where the diagnoses was allergies thanks to all of our dust. Wonder if I can bill that one to the air force? LOL! But the day was basically shot.

Becky, it's actually the working parents that have been begging for the 4-day week! It's one less day to have to pick their kids up from the bus. I guess because most of our kids are out of district kids from town. The buses go a little more than halfway to town to pick these kids up in a couple of different stops, all the parents just line up on a dirt road for the bus. A majority of working parent's have their parents as babysitters. And many of the younger kids have older brothers and sisters that are old enough to care for them. Or neighbors. Like I said, it's probably a bigger problem for working parents to pick up from the bus stop than just have an extra day off.

The house is horrible! I'm just going to roll up the sleeves and get busy and hopefully have something to post later.
