Labour Day used to be a day of mixed emotions for me; the sadness of seeing the summer slip away; the excitement that comes with a new school year.
For some reason, it was also a day for me to wash the car and clean out the garage...go figure. I do miss working with teens but I sure don't miss marking tests and attending to all the administrivia that is part and parcel of teaching.
Our next door neighbours Gina and Sean are actually taking Labour Day literally this year as they are scheduled to welcome their third child into the world that day. Now that's exciting.
We wish them all the best...having three kids under the age of four is going to be a real challenge for them.
But as my mom used to say to new parents, "These are the best years of your life."
