Martin Luther King, Jr. Day

The civil rights leader Martin Luther KI

I completely forgot today was Martin Luther King, Jr. Day!  I feel really horrible.  However, in my defense, we do not have local TV.  I usually get my updates/news from TV.  I really should use the internet to read news websites too.

This morning, not knowing it was Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, I got up early just like normal and got my son and I ready to take him to the bus stop.  It was our neighbor who informed me that there is no school!

I looked on the school calendar (I have his school lunch calendar on our fridge) and apparently he has today and tomorrow off as well!  I was really looking forward to today.  I wanted to work on some things.  I really value my quiet time when my son is at school.  He was off of school last Friday due to snow.  So, he’s been home from school since last Friday!  I can’t wait until Wednesday!  I need some ME time!

    I didn’t know either. I was wondering why everyone kept saying they had off. Being out of school for a long time and my son not being old enough for school leaves me out of the loop on certain holidays…

    I also didn’t remember until I saw Google – How terrible! He left a great legacy and I’m glad we take some time out to remember it.

    Me time is so important! I would not have known it was a holiday until I got to the train station and asked why the train is so empty.
