Here is what dol.gov (United States department of labor) says about the matter: "...is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country."
So basically it means you get a day off for the labor you have done all year long...I also read somewhere else that it has to do with the rail road strike of 1894. There you go, you learned something new today didn't ya?
I look forward to this day and I very much enjoy my day off and celebrate the contributions I've made to the American work force...not really. I'll tell you the real reason I'm excited this year....THATS THE LAST DAY THE POOL IS OPEN!!!!!! Thank the Labor Day gods!!
I'm so so over the pool!! And to be honest I love the pool and I very much like taking the kids but I am so over carrying and lugging 28373 bags! I have to carry the bags, the mini coloor, the floaties AND hold the baby because I would hate for her to be hit by a car in the parking lot. So yes! I'm over it! I am so happy the pools are closing and I don't have to think about it till next summer! I party hate it because we have been going fairly often, almost every day, since the house went on the market and it's the closes place where I can go while there's an inspector/realtor/photographor or a showing here.
I can't wait till next summer when they (bosses) will be in the new house that has, fortunately, a pool in the backyard! So thankfully next year I can lather them in sunscreen and throw them outside to swim and I can sit in the shade drinking a sprite.
Enjoy your day off on Monday fellow nannies!! Go to a BBQ and drink some watermelon adult drinks and let your hair down! Lord knows we need it! Stay safe!
Adios!
