Happy Family Day… Really.

Filed under: General — beverly at 10:49 am on Monday, February 21, 2005

Here in Alberta, it’s Family Day. A day where families are supposed to generally be together, love one another, and enjoy each other’s company. So far I’ve been frustrated with my mom on the phone, received a snappy email from my sister-in-law, called my brother to say Happy Birthday and had the World’s shortest conversation EVER, and had to give myself a stiff drink “time -out ” from my son who is working on his science project with a vision and drive that is frustrating everyone around him. Oh, and our daughter discovered glue sticks this morning. Sigh.

I am eternally grateful for my family, I love them dearly, but today, they are driving me nuts!!!

We’re going skating at an outdoor pond this afternoon … hope the day picks up! :)

Enjoy your families today! Or … just try to stay clear of ‘em.

Is there an echo in here? ;) Glue stick was tried in hair, ears, and painted down body. Her conclusion: “This is sticky, Mom.” Yep, it was!

Hap-py Family Day! I think this is a holiday the States should consider adopting. It’s funny, though. My wife, who’s a Newfoundlander, never mentioned family day, and when I think about it, her family probably didn’t celebrate it.

It’s only in Alberta … I can’t remember why that premier started Family Day, except probably to grab votes before an election, I’m thinking. :)
