Here we are, Friday August 14th. It is officially my last day of summer vacation... I know.. I know.. I can hear you all booing and hissing as we speak.. poor baby, indeed!
To understand how sad today actually is, we must think about when we are off for a week's vacation. That Sunday night, oh the dread of it all!! Getting up early, showering and driving to work. All of that vacation glow falling off of you when you cross the threshold of the job. Imagine being off for 11 weeks and having to return to the drudgery!! Just when you think you've hit the jackpot and are happily retired, you get up, put on socks and closed toed shoes and walk into a classroom with a bunch of kids who'd rather be sleeping, eating, picking their noses, whatever- just not in front of you. If they only knew how much teachers hated it, too. I'd much rather be sleeping, eating, or picking... hmm... garage sailing!!
My mother got a job about a month ago and our endless twin vacations came abruptly to a halt. I was forced to go garage sailing myself- it is not half as much fun without your other half.
So, today was it. And, to add insult to injury, there weren't many sales and when there were, there wasn't much to pick from. Bummer.
On a lighter note- this last month of summer has lead to the creation of more goodies in our shop! We are going to start reaching out to shops in hopes they'll be interested in carrying our goodies! Kane County was a success and we received a lot of positive feedback. Keep your fingers crossed for us.
Whether it's back to school or work, I am really excited about the possibilities that Fall brings.
