It was named no later than the second century for the planet (Saturn),[citation needed] which controlled the first hour of that day according to Vettius Valens. The planet was named for the Roman god of agriculture Saturn (Latin Saturnus). It has been called dies Saturni ("Saturn's Day"), through which form it entered into Old English as Sæternesdæg and gradually evolved into the word "Saturday".Saturday is the only day of the week in which the English name comes from Roman mythology. The English names of all of the other days of the week come from Germanic polytheism.
Slow news day..... :D
Well we had another day that involved some unpacking, another trip to Wal-mart for the kids to select the cake (which had to have purple on it cuz that's mommy's favorite color) and then they had to debate what to have written on it and then we had to drive by at least one yard sale because they could see the yard sale signs everywhere. That's when you know they've been hanging out with grandma too much. Even the two year old was saying "yard sale sign"! We were going to go through the car wash with the big elephant out front before we took the cake home but the two youngest almost went into convulsions just at the mention of the elephant and a car wash (they're scared of both), so we decided we'd go through later when it was just the two older kids. Rello had to go back home and he was not happy about leaving his cousins, but he will probably sleep really well for the next two nights as he winds down.
Made some corned beef in the crock pot today. Haven't done that for a while. Cooked it in orange juice instead of water. Very good. Didn't eat much fiber today though so might have a bowl of bran cereal before I go to bed. I forgot to mention Maddi's flowers from the other day too. I have never seen pink sunflowers before. I'm sure that's not what they're called, but they look like pink sunflowers. They're very cool. We decided to get some because they just remind me of Maddi. She loves pink and they're just cute like her. Jas and Anne planted it in front by the door and it's pretty unusual... just like little Maddi.
Tomorrow is Sunday. I need a day of rest.... so I'm grateful.
