Ah, home

[charliesmum]

Well, I'm at home for a few hours because my carefully crafted Charlie Care network broke down.

Kate, the Regular minder has school from 11-3 Tuesday and Thursday. As Charlie is also in school during those hours, this is not a problem. There is no school today, because of Yom Kippur. In the past, I've usually been able to count on my neighbor to take Charlie in a pinch, as she homeschools her daughter but, well, they're Jewish, and today is the really important Jewish holiday, so they're not around. Then Jennifer, who can also usually take Charlie, since she is home with her own son, but she has been, as you know, very ill, and she is just not up to watching two boys. My husband couldn't stay home because he's having all sorts of drama at his work with things flooding and whatnot, so that's out. Old Psycho Babysitter had offered to watch him this week, but I'm so not opening that door again.

So I'm home. Which isn't a horrible thing, but I still don't have any sick time, and not enough vacation time, so I'm on 'leave without pay' at the moment. Which sort of sucks.

But...home is good. I like home.

Hmm.... If you get Yom Kippur off, you also get other holidays off? That's a bit much holidays, don't you think?

Off the top of my head, I think Yom Kippur is the only Jewish Holiday the schools close for. I guess they decided one Christian holiday = Christamas and one Jewish Holiday is fair.

that's too little holidays then :)
I'm spoilt, you see. We get: 3 days for new year, 2 for Yom Kippur, and 8 for Sukkot, all just this month (which is why my university starts after the last of holidays end. But school kids don't study much).
