It's 9:40 a.m. I'm sitting on the sofa in my robe. Underneath the robe is my comfy black tunic shirt and, well, I think clean drawers. No kids, no husband. Now, all I need to do is get rid of the 5 pets. It is well known that teachers look forward to a day off, furloughed or not. Yes, we might gripe about losing pay, but we don't gripe about not having to work! I am home alone! Woohoo! My hair is disheveled, lop-sided ponytail. My feet are stuffed into my new plush Isotoners. I can sit in the usually-full-of-kids living room. I am in front of the T.V., switching from HGTV and A&E. I like to think of myself as unique, but I am probably no different than most moms who find themselves alone in the home. I can use the bathroom peacefully; well, except for the that curious cat wonders in. I'm so looking forward to this day! Sit comfortably in front of the fire, underneath my new electric throw, sipping green tea. So, I raise my cup of Joe or tea to all moms or dads (don't want you men to feel left out) who have the day off! Enjoy, cause you know it ain't gonna last long!
