Newspaper Carrier Day
An almost extinct job but with a long history.
National Newspaper Carrier Day celebrates the history of newspaper delivery that stemmed from enterprising kids
In high school one of my besties delivered newspapers in the mornings before school. She and her siblings did it at the direction of her Dad. I never did do it, nor did my brothers, I thought it seemed complicated - trying to drive and throw a newspaper to the right driveway.  I'm pretty sure I would have caused many accidents, both car and broken windows, etc. *grin*


Lazy Mom's Days
HA!  Even when it looks like we are being lazy we aren't. There is always something going on in my mind about parenting my children.  For example, while working on my blog earlier today I remembered I needed to fill out some online paperwork for the redheads and their schooling. So I stopped what I was doing to get that done.  I'm not sure if I could be lazy, even trying! Sure, I may be binge watching some show on Netflix but while I'm watching I'm also creating a grocery list, going through a pile of papers that has built up, updating our family calendar, doing loads of laundry, etc. You get the picture.  Us Mama's might think being lazy is a great goal, but it's really only a theory, not a reality.

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.
