Labor Day

September 3, 2007 - 7:04pm

"Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers."
- The US Department of Labor

For a day that is a holiday from labor, there sure has been a work! To prepare for the BBQ we're going to later this afternoon, I cooked up some barbecue sauce. Then it was cleaning the downstairs of the house. Chris has been spending time in the garage as he finished up a birthday present he's making for his brother-in-law. (Pictures coming soon.) He was sweet enough to take a break and vacuum the stairs. It's the one job I really, really hate. There are still clothes to be folded and some vacuuming to do upstairs but after that I'm done working. I'll spend the rest of the day celebrating the amazing economy of this country. (Sub-prime mortgage crisis and all.) It really is an amazing place to work and live and I consider myself very, very lucky to have been born here.

I agree, this is a great place to be born.. I was talking to my wife yesterday about how some kids nowadays see very little outside of their little high school or community and think even less of anything outside of their world. it is sad to think that 1 in 5 kids in the U.S. can't even point out the U.S. on a map! (thanks miss south carolina) I think it is because they have never cared to look at anything but the streets near their school and the faces on myspace.com it should be mandatory that people travel before getting a job, so they can be a little more appreciative of how good we have it here. and.. I like vacuuming.. it's the one thing that I like to do.. personally, my bane is folding clothes.. hate it with a passion, but usually on Fridays, I do the laundry so my wife can come home and relax a little bit more on the weekends.
