It’s Hump Day… and Hump Day isn’t so bad
It’s Wednesday… Hump Day.
According to Wikipedia:
‘An American English idiom for Wednesday is “hump day”,
a reference to making it through to the middle of the work week as getting “over the hump.”‘
Yeah, I got that…
But then it goes on to say-
‘In Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day, the disagreeable nature of the weather is attributed to it being “Winds-Day” (a play on “Wednesday”). In Richard Brautigan‘s In Watermelon Sugar Wednesday is the day when the sun shines grey.’
and
‘In the 1945 John Steinbeck novel Sweet Thursday, the titular day is preceded by “Lousy Wednesday”.’
What Happened to ‘Happy Hump Day!’ ?
I like Wednesdays…
You are, as mentioned above, ‘Over the Hump’,
but still have time to have a productive week,
and get things done…
So where has the love for Wednesday gone?
Do you like Wednesdays?
Am I the only one?
…Again, where’s the love?

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
I Told My Son Leprechauns Are Pretend… And Now His Class is Making Leprechaun Traps… Woops!
So I’m The Grinch…
I didn’t mean to be, but I am…
A few weeks ago my son and I read a book before bed about St.Patrick’s Day, and he asked me,
“Mom, are Leprechauns Real?”
My answer, “No sweetheart, they’re not real, they’re pretend.” And he was fine with that and I didn’t think another thing about it. He wasn’t upset or anything. And I didn’t think I was violating any ‘unwritten rules’ of childhood…
So last week a project sheet was sent home in his backpack announcing that all the kindergartners were to make
Leprechaun Traps
at home, and bring them in on St. Patrick’s Day… to try and catch a… Yep, a Leprechaun.
My son and husband have been working on a ‘Trap’ for a few days now. It’s sitting on our Dining Room table.
Now here’s the clincher: I haven’t ruined anything for my son by telling him leprechauns are just pretend because…
wait for it…
His teacher told the class they are real… so my son thinks I’m just misinformed… wrong even.
My son totally thinks Leprechauns are real…
Whew! Thank God for 6-year-olds’ suspension-of-disbelief!
But, just a question: Where is it written that leprechauns qualify for the
‘Yes, they’re real, sweetheart, always BELIEVE’ category…
I wish there was a book.

Quotable Friday
“A leader has the vision and conviction that a dream can be achieved.
He inspires the power and energy to get it done.”
‘You Can Say Whatever You Want, But It Has To Start With Y…’
I normally share great, usually inspirational quotes, on Fridays,
under my feature,
Today I share an actual quote my 6-year-old son uttered,
“You can say Whatever You Want,
But it Has To Start with Y.”
Meaning- Yes.
Well, nobody has ever accused him of being dumb.
I wish that actually worked!
I love the mind of a 6-year-old 
Back to your day… enjoy and have a good one!
