Restoration Day

The past year had caused me to forget how much 1st graders need to learn at the beginning of the school year and how much energy they require. I was quickly reminded of those things on Thursday, the first day of school. We were fortunate, though, to have had only two days of school last week because we were exhausted. By the time Friday came around, we were sprawled motionless on our couch mindlessly watching television. Thankfully, after those grueling two days, we already have a day off. The name of the holiday is fitting considering how we feel: Restoration Day. It came at a perfect time to restore us for the next week. The only bad news is that I've checked the calendar and there is no Rejuvenation Day next Monday.
