Hooky

Some days, I just can't seem to muster the energy to attend my class at noon. If you, too, need a mid-week break to soak up the sun, here are some great lines, all of them once used by someone in real life, to drop by your boss. Seen in Real Simple magazine: 

1. Dog was stressed out after a family reunion.

2. Swallowed too much mouthwash.

3. Hit a turkey while riding a bike.

4. Got kicked by a deer.

5. Psychic said to stay home. 

If you can't quite get away with those excuses and escape to the beach on a whim, probably because you work for a legitimate company, then taking a daily dose of Vitamin D will usually solve your mid-week slump.

A Wiseman Once Said . . . There's no shame in taking a break. Like my dear friend Allison, a recent college graduate and now part-time substitute middle school teacher says, "Subbing ain't easy."
