Sorry I'm late with this post! I think we missed a couple of good holidays. We will have to keep them in mind for next year.
Here we go!
September 1 National No Rhyme (Nor Reason) Day
A day to celebrate words that do not rhyme with any other words in the English language. Words that don't rhyme with other words are called refractory rhymes. Poets try to avoid using these words. Some unrhymable words: orange, month, silver, spirit, chimney, purple, woman and ninth. Can you think of any other words to add to that list?
September 4 National Lazy Mom's Day
A day for Mom to delegate her everyday jobs to someone else. The laundry and dishes will be there later. Today is a perfect day for Mom to take a much needed break.
September 5 National Be Late for Something Day
Today we are allowed to not abide by our schedules. Go ahead and sleep in a little bit today. This day allows you to stop and smell the roses. Slow down for a little bit. Visit a friend, play with your kids. Be late for something because of it!

National Cheese Pizza Day
A day for my family to celebrate doing what they love to do...eat pizza. Call up Uncle Steve and maybe he will make the pizza.
September 7 National Grandma Moses Day
The birthday of Anna Mary Robertson Moses is celebrated today. She was a talented artist that started a career late in life. She began a career in the arts (painting) at the age of 78. She serves as an inspiration. It's never to late to try something new.
September 8 National Ampersand Day
Did you know that the ampersand used to be the last letter of the alphabet? Did you know that the plus sign is also an ampersand? You can celebrate today by using ampersands in your writing. & & &

National Ants on a log Day
This is a day that celebrates a healthy food that is enjoyed by many. Ants on a log is made by spreading peanut butter on celery and topping it with raisins. The snack name was first used in the 1950's and was recommended as healthy by the McKinley Health Center at the University of Illinois. How is this healthy? Well, the raisins provide Vitamin C, selenium and zinc. They are also low in sodium and a great source of potassium (which is good for blood pressure). Raisins also provide iron, copper and magnesium. Peanut butter brings the protein and a boost of healthy fat. And, the celery provides fiber, folate, potassium and Vitamin K. I know what I'm having for a snack today.
September 13 National Hug Your Hound Day
Need I say more? Pippen, where are you??
September 15 National Online Learning Day
Didn't know we needed a holiday for online learning. Maybe we can celebrate by not participating in online learning today and do something crazy, like, in-person learning?
OK. It was just a thought...
September 16 National Guacamole Day
Holy Guacamole! You don't have to tell me twice. Pass the chips, please!
September 20 National Pepperoni Pizza Day
Another pizza party with the family. Uncle Steve is going to be busy this month making all of those pizzas.

National Wife Appreciation Day
Um. Wait a minute. Shouldn't that be everyday? I'm just sayin'
September 21 National Chai Day
A day for us tea lovers to enjoy a nice cup of chai tea.
September 24 National Punctuation Day
Are you a question mark kind of person? Or maybe you like a comma or semi colon? A period, a comma, a semicolon, a question mark and an exclamation point are examples of some of the punctuation used in writing. They separate sentences and their elements to clarify meaning. Without them, meaning would be lost or up for interpretation. How to observe the day? Spend the day critiquing others' mistakes. Or, carefully correct your own. Write an email with a single error and send it to everyone you know and see if anyone finds the mistake.
September 25 National One Hit Wonder Day
A one hit wonder is a musical group that has one hit song and, well, that's it. The group or singer is never heard from again.
Here are some one hit wonders you can listen to today:
867-5309 - Tommy Tutone
Tainted Love - Soft Cell
I Melt with You - Modern English
Come on Eileen - Dexy's Midnight Runners
Safety Dance - Men without Hats
I'm too Sexy - Right Said Fred
Don't Worry, Be Happy - Bobby McFerrin
Stacy's Mom - Fountains of Wayne
Can you think of any to add to the list?
September 29 National Coffee Day
A day for those crazy people who do not like tea.
