Sunday Walt Kowalski cleaned off the kitchen table. It was clean for approximately 3.28 seconds before a cat jumped up on it. Yesterday I cleaned off the kitchen counters. That lasted 5.47 seconds. Same with the floor. There was a tumbleweed when I returned home.
And. So. Many. Papers.
Which made me think there should be a few new holidays on the calendar.
Holidays such as:
- No Dirty Clothes Day
This would be the day when all hampers are empty and all dirty clothes are washed. (This is a very rare holiday at the Cat Ranch.)
- No Dirty Dishes in the Sink Day
Similar to the previous holiday. Also a rare holiday in our house.
- Clean Kitchen Table/Counters Day
- No Lost Keys/Phone/Glasses/Shoes/Bills/Remote Day
- All Floors Swept and Mopped Day
- Got Everything on the Grocery List Day
Some days:
- Remembered the Grocery List Day
Both rare occurrences in our house.
There would be specific holidays for families with children, such as:
- Homework Without Tears Day
- Baths and Bedtime Without Meltdowns Day
- A Day Without Sibling Bickering
Although I hear that just a hour would be considered a celebration.
There would be some holidays that would work for both families with and without children.
- Remembered Everything Before Leaving Day (Homework/Instrument/Uniform/Lunches/Gym Clothes)
- Everybody Liked Dinner Day
- Everybody Agreed on the Same Movie Day
I like celebrating small victories. I take all suggestions for new holidays. What are some you celebrate in your house?
This post gave me a chuckle. Hey, No Dirty Clothes Day should be on the same day as Nudist Day. That's the way to work the holidays!
ReplyDeleteYou make me laugh!!!
ReplyDeleteI could go for an "eat dinner without complaining day" and a "no bodily fluids outside the body day". Would it be pushing it if I also asked for a "no whining day"? Yeah. I thought so too.
