Stealth holiday

Posted by danridley | Filed under Anecdotes

So I walk up to the door of the preschool, child’s hand in mine, already planning out my busy day in my head.

The door is locked.

Slightly belatedly, I read the sign on the door; the one that’s been there for at least a week, cheerfully telling me that they’re closed for Martin Luther King’s Birthday (Observed).

It’s not the first time I’d read that sign, I just hadn’t put it together this morning. Maybe I should have had that hollow, soulless coffee this morning after all.

    aww, i feel guilty… i’m staying home today to clean (though everything needs it very badly). just kinda loungin’ around. i’d much rather be visiting with those cute boys you hang out with!

    Nothin’ to feel guilty about. We all need those days half-off, ya know?

    That’s what this is turning into for me too; I am doing some remote support and stuff, but also playing the the young’uns, and cleaning. Relaxed; not-too-hard-working day.

    All Mondays should be like this.
