Daddy's Day

Our day care provider started her vacation today & the result is the juggling of our remaining vacation days without taking anything away from Christmas. She only gave us two weeks notice, which really sucked, but the good thing is that we too only need to provide two weeks notice when we don't plan to send the kids. That means we don't pay as long as we give her notice. Not many in-home daycares or commercial daycares around here that you have that flexibility.

Brad unfortunately is required to work Christmas & New Years Eve, so he had 2 extra days to work with. I think he would enjoy being off those two days much more than taking today & next Thursday off. I offered to switch my Friday next week so that he could have a long weekend, but he says he is getting out of a meeting anyway. I think it is really because he doesn't want to spend the bulk of Friday through Sunday alone with the kids. I leave next Saturday morning for a weekend of scrapbooking at the Tim Hortons camp! I am very excited!!!

All in all I think that their day went pretty good. They were good enough that he wasn't a grump when I got home, but challenging enough to know that getting dinner ready these days is not an easy or stress-free task.

Brent has just spent the last six out of nine days flying solo and both and he the girls survived. I should have taken off years ago!
