It's Veteran's Day. My husband does. He is so excited, he forgot he had it off until I reminded him.

Nope! But I just realized my husband has off so he gets to stay home with LO instead of us having the nanny come in. Yay!

@.twist.: Ha, seems like that sort of defeats the purpose of the holiday . . .

Sort of. My work made it into a floating holiday that we have to use in the month of November.

@Mrs. Tricycle: Yea... They're pretty cheap. They think it's a nice "we're giving you a day during the holiday season! It's free! Isn't that generous of us?" gesture.

Nope but LO is off from daycare so my mom has to come take care of her

Technically no. But the building I work in will not be opened so its a "free" day for me because I cant get in. I think its redic that my company does not give it off as a Holiday. Considering two thing: 0ne- we work for the Military and two- over 90% of the employees in my company are former Military (Veterans). What the heck!

@Rescuemom10: That is really surprising! You'd think they'd be very supportive of the holiday!

@.twist.: I know right? I find it crazy! A day to honor our veterans, and the company is made up of mainly just that....gees!

We were supposed to have professional development at work, but they decided to give us off. Only thing is I have to be at school at night for open house! Bummer.

@hergreenapples: It's actually a stat in a few provinces (like at home in NS) so that's why the federal government is off! I'm one of them it works out well bc the ultrasound place is open so I get to go for that without having to take time off!
