February 5 is Disaster Day, though for some of us, that may feel like every day.  Those of you with kids know that story well – disasters seem part and parcel of child raising, though most are humorous.  Here’s hoping the day turns out better than it sounds.

February 6 is Lame Duck Day.  We couldn’t celebrate a fit duck, evidently.  I wonder what you do with a lame duck?  Soup?  Crutches?  I guess we will find out shortly.

February 7 is Charles Dickens Day.  As you probably know, Charles Dickens is one of the greatest authors ever, penning such masterpieces as A Tale of Two Cities, Great Expectations and A Christmas Carol, all of which can be downloaded to Kindle for free.

February 8 is Kite Flying Day.  Really?  In February?  I’m guessing the person who came up with this one doesn’t live where winter exists.  I’ll write a rain check and celebrate this one in the summer.

February 9 is Toothache Day.  Perfect!  Next time a tooth threatens to start hurting, I will simply reschedule it for this day.  I would much rather do it all on one day than spread it out throughout the year.

February 10 is Umbrella Day.  Umbrellas truly are a great invention, and they deserve their own day for sure.  Did you know, in some places, like where I live, it rains so little you never need an umbrella?

February 11 is White Tee-Shirt Day and Don't Cry Over Spilled Milk Day.  I notice a theme of white here.  The other day, I saw a saying on Facebook that said something like, “Whoever said not to cry over spilled milk never pumped six ounces and then spilled it.”  Being a nursing mom, I thought that was a great one.  So sometimes it is okay to cry over spilled milk.
