Veteran's Day

Tuesday was Veteran’s day – which means I had a day off of work. I will admit that I am still in a place that I get all excited over my new holidays. I haven’t had a Veteran’s day off ever! So it was great to have a day off in the middle of the week. I didn’t make any big plans, since it was a Tuesday, other than to sleep in. I love sleeping – I sometimes wonder if it is not my natural state. I am meant to be asleep and not awake. I didn’t get to sleep all day though, because my sister Chrystie asked if I would go up and help my other sister baby-sit her kids while she was at work. I am always happy to have the opportunity to play with my adorable niece and nephew, so I went up. Matt didn’t come with me this time, and I realized how valuable he is when babysitting. Usually I am the one that takes the baby and he chases the 2 year old around. But this time I was the chaser – and while it is lots of fun, I don’t have that kind of energy!

After babysitting I got to go to lunch with my sisters and we had a good time. I got home and met Matt. We decided it was time to go and get him some new clothes (well, his old clothes decided that by wearing out) so we also took advantage of my not being at work to run to the store and get some stuff. Normally I hate shopping for clothes, but it isn’t bad when I am shopping for someone else! So that was fun.

Unfortunately all that fun was too much for Matt, and he is down sick with a bad cold today. Poor guy.
