It's Friday. I think I'll wear my pajamas to work. Seriously. Today is
National Wear Your PJs to Work Day! How cool is that? Now, I kind of feel like I'm cheating, since I work at home, but I'm still going to wear my Pjs all day! Why should my kids get to be the only ones to wear their pjs to school once a year?
Okay, in all seriousness, I'm wearing my PJs today, not just because I want to, but for a really good cause. The Pajama Program donates pjs and books to children in need who might never get tucked in with a bedtime story. Never know the security of having their own pjs and mom or dad to read a story to them every night before bed. Bedtime/storytime is one of my favorite parts of my day. No matter how much my boys are making me crazy, or how bad I feel, I always love snuggling with them and reading a story together. It breaks my heart that some children never know that gift.
So, while my introverted self cringes, I'm going to go Starbucks for coffee, and when they say "How are you?" I'm going to say,
"I'm great! It's national wear your pjs to work day, and I'm supporting the Pajama Program!" I have little slips with the Pajama Program logo and website on them to hand out. I'm taking my son to school
(the one where you have to go in with him...) in my Pjs
. I'm going to yoga...
in my pjs. Maybe I'll be really brave and go inside the bank to make a deposit!
Why does that seem worse than going to starbucks? Oh, and my boys and I are donating the money we made at the jbf sale to buy pjs for this great cause. We were able to order 14 sets of Pjs for Pajama Program boys and girls. Now that's a sweet dream!
Would you like to donate?
