The girl child went off on a snow retreat this weekend. I thought they were coming back Sunday afternoon, but it turns out they won't be back until Monday afternoon. I called my boss, and said, "Dude. I don't have childcare that day." I figured I'd get flack for weaseling out of working on a holiday, but he just said, "Okay, no problem." So that's cool. A Monday off; haven't had one of those in a while.

The boy child will be off school that day too, of course. I'm not sure what we'll do. Actually, if I didn't have to work tomorrow night (sure, make the middle aged divorced woman work Valentine's evening; she won't mind!), we might have made plans to go somewhere. Where? I dunno. But somewhere FUN, dang it!

However, I DO have to work tomorrow night, and I'm scheduled to be the on-duty Bridal Consultant, which would be the first time I've been alone doing it. Please, God, let all the couples go do OTHER couple-ish things, and stay outta my store. I'm just not up to it.

So I have a little time to think of something to do with the boy child on Monday. Or Sunday afternoon, for that matter. I'm open to suggestions...
