Wait, what??

Ah, adventures in parenting.

Last night, I check my email and see that something arrived in my "Promotions" folder (read: junk) from day care.  They send me so much junk about fundraiser this-that for the school despite the fact that everyone pays tuition, and so-and-so leaving, and wear-this-not-that day, just a whole bunch of stuff that we really don't care about.

This one had subject "Important Dates".  My kid is 4 months old.  I don't care when the bake sale is.  But, I open it up anyway and sure enough, it's a bunch of crap, but in between is one VALUABLE tidbit of information.

"Monday, May 25th: CLOSED for Memorial Day"

Well, yeah.  LOTS of places are closed for Memorial Day, duh.  We're lucky though because we can work that day if we want to, and we usually do.  Holidays don't matter.  I move onto the next task on my to do list then stop short with a realization.  #$&*.  Let's test the husband.

"Hon, I got an email from day care.  They are closed on Memorial Day."

No response.  Let's try that one again.

"Daycare is closed on Memorial Day."

He says, "Okay".

No, it's still not registering.

"We cannot take boo to day care on Monday.  Someone is going to have to stay home."

Then he looks up.   Ding ding ding!  Yup, our first time having to consider the parental outage scenario for a holiday.

Honestly, the schedule for day care operation is pretty awesome.  I think there's maybe 6 or 8 days when school is closed.  Possibly a couple extra days for teacher development, but all in all, better than public school's schedule.  Minus the fact that we pay a lot for day care.  Every. Single. Week.
