No Housework Day is always celebrated on April 7th.
No Housework Day is a chance to do anything, except housework. Better still, have someone else do the chores for a day. Housework is a daily, seemingly endless and repetitive group of tasks. It often goes unrecognized and worst of all....is taken for granted. But, watch out! If the dishes aren't done, or there are no clean towels, everyone notices!

My daughter and her family now live in Alabama, and we’ve discovered Mardi Gras is quite a big event there. They attend many parades and come home with multicolored beads, moon pies, and stuffed animals thrown to spectators from the floats. School is even dismissed for two days. Their dog, Penny, has her own Mardi Gras cape that she wears to the pet parade. I thought Mardi Gras was only celebrated in New Orleans. I discovered instead that it is celebrated in many countries around the world.
I love the idea of being organized, but it's an ongoing battle for me. I usually start thinking about it around the Christmas holidays and into the new year. So, I will give it a good try each year. This last a few weeks, then I slip right back into my old habits. But every year, I keep trying.
