My new-found love for Labor Day weekend has only been within the last several years. I don't remember any affinity for it as a child, and even as an adult, most of the time it was just a long weekend. And of course there were those years when the kids started school right after the long weekend, and I never enjoyed that. It really felt like it was almost a slap in the face that summer was so very over.
Now though, I love this weekend. We have been going long enough, that it feels good to have Monday off. We also have tomorrow off. I don't love that necessarily because I would rather have that extra day somewhere else along the line, but at the same time I won't mind sleeping in tomorrow! I also LOVE that college football starts! We will be traveling to my in-laws on Saturday (my MIL has a birthday this weekend) so I will miss the joy of really doing nothing but watching games, but Notre Dame doesn't play until Monday night anyway. And my in-laws love college football too so there will be no debating what we are watching. It also seems as though the weather is going to be fairly lovely. I haven't seen my in-laws since April, so it will be very nice to have this time together!
