Getting the day off

So, of course, tomorrow is Veteran's Day (or Remembrance Day if you're in my homeland). And also, of course, there is no school.

I appreciate that it is still a national holiday to honor those that have served (and still serve) to preserve our freedoms. So many holidays seem to have become a token acknowledgment of their origins. Or are only an excuse to take a long weekend because the actual holiday falls close to a Saturday or Sunday. It's an important thing to remember the sacrifices made on our behalf.

But there is a very tiny part of me that says, "Of course. Nobody told me." So now my kids have the day off and I didn't connect 1 + 1 to make 11 so I'm juggling my schedule again.

God bless our veterans who served so that my biggest problem tomorrow is having to have lunch with my kids.
