Homework Piling Up

What is it about three-day weekends that lead to four-day weeks that create massive pile-ups in work?

It's a day off, we don't make it up that same week. At work, suddenly five days worth of meetings and calls are packed into four days. And, at middle school, four nights worth of homework piles into three nights.

Our favorite vocabulary project made it's way home Tuesday. Remember, Mondays are good for us because we have nothing on those evenings. So now, with only two of the four exercises done, it means we have to finish another tonight and then do the 20-seven word sentences in cursive tomorrow before and after football practice. Yuck.

But the fun doesn't stop. More homework entered the house tonight. So, we have to get that stuff done (which is due tomorrow) and then work on the Friday vocabulary project.

Anticipating Thursday's addition to the mess!

So the benefit of being off Monday was what again?
