Furloughed

What a nice word. Furlough.

While the public rants and raves about how much they spend in taxes...and my clients rant and rave because I don't have enough time to get to all their problems...I get an unpaid day off.

Five, actually.

I'm glad they're unhappy. Serves them all right.

And while my paycheck will be a little lighter, so will my daycare bill.

And...I get to sew today.

See ya later!

Sorry for your unplanned vacation, but glad that you get some sewing time and together time. :)

Hope it is going well and that the husband is working extra hours to cover you.
Hugs to the family from WI.

My word verification is:

"deduckup"

that amuses me for some reason.
