Today is a Holiday!

And you know I love my holidays! :)



Today is National No Housework Day!

And just so you don't have to click the link...here it is:

****************************
No Housework Day

When : Always April 7th

No Housework Day is your chance to do anything, except housework. Better still, have someone else do the chores for a day. Housework is a daily, seemingly endless and repetitive groups of tasks. It often goes unrecognized and worst of all..... taken for granted. But, watch out! If the dishes aren't done, or there's no clean towels, somebody takes note.

There's two ways to celebrate this day:

If you normally do the housework around the house, cease and desist for this day. Instead, kick back and enjoy the day. Relax and do anything, except housework.

If you are a spouse or significant other, do the housework for your mate. It gives her (or him) a break from the housework. And, you just might get an appreciation of how much work it takes to keep up the house.

___________________________

Origin of No Housework Day:
Our research did not uncover a particular person who started this day, or when it was first celebrated.

We're pretty sure it originated by someone who was a wee bit tired of doing the daily chores, and just needed a day off. Most likely, they threw up their hands and said something like "That's it! I'm taking a day off from all of this work".

Whoever the genius was who first created this day, we salute you!

Are you going to be celebrating the day?

I wish I could....I'll try but there are some things that just have to be done. But maybe I'll postpone the vacuuming.... :)

Thanks to Lynilu from whom I stole this little gem! :)

Wish I could do the chores for you today, honey. You deserve a day - several days - off!

Ohh, I was going to make a smart remark about you stealing this, and then I saw Dakota's sweet comment. Aww, Dakota, that's nice!

Casey, enjoy your free day! I am!!

EVERY day is no housework day for me - seriously. I do the bare minimum when I have to - but i'm working on it!

Crap! I wish I'd read your blog before I was up to 11:15pm trying to create some sense of order with the downstairs :-(
