National Tourism Day – The
theme for this years National Tourism Week is travel effect.
Basically the effect that traveling has on you and your family.
Since this is an event that is promoting tourism, the effects they
talk about are all positive. You know the kind of thing I mean,
quality time spent together, new experiences, etc. As a mother of
three, I think about all of that, but I also think about the
headaches, the entire family crammed into the same small hotel room
every day for a week, the effort expended trying to convince the kids
that museums can be fun too, and we didn't come all this way and
spend all this money to stay in the hotel swimming pool all week
long.
National Teachers Day –
Celebrated on Tuesday of the first full week of May, this is a day to
honor all the teachers who have dedicated their lives to helping our
children reach their potential. Many times they go above and beyond
what they are paid to do and frequently spend their own money and
tons of extra time to make sure the kids have what they need.
National Roast Leg Of Lamb Day –
Another dinner dilemma solved today.
Accountant's Day or Accounting Day
– Today is a day to celebrate the number crunchers in our lives.
Some people just “get” numbers, and everything associated with
them, easier than others. For some, addition is a daily challenge.
Accountants, on the other hand, can whiz through math problems and
multi-million dollar budgets in moments. Give them a hand today,
because if they can do it, we don't have to.
Childhood Depression Awareness Day
– Researchers at Stanford are working very hard to find ways to
prevent this disorder by conducting two research studies. Depression
among all age groups is on the rise but it is most alarming when it
affects our children.
World Asthma Day – The theme
for this day is once again, “You can control your asthma”, with a
sub-theme of “It's time to control asthma”. As someone who has
had asthma for the last three years, this is definitely a good goal.
This day is organized by the Global Initiative for Asthma and the
purpose is to spread asthma awareness around the world as well as
knowledge about how to care for it.
To celebrate today, call up your
children's teachers and thank them for their dedication in educating your child(ren). Then, call up your friendly neighborhood
accountant and thank him/her for helping you know where you stand
financially. Next, take your kids on a little day trip so they can
practice being tourists and you can see whether the positive effects
of traveling with your kids come to fruition. At the very least, I
hope it keeps your children from being depressed. Before the end of
the business day, make sure you call your doctor to discuss ways to
keep asthma under control. It's good to know whether you have asthma
or not. Finally, it's roast leg of lamb for dinner. Enjoy!
