Holidays

Because kids don't take holidays from being sick. Because, as much as I don't want to work a holiday, it is a safe assumption that a family wants to be spending the holiday in a hospital with a sick child even less.

Because I'm required to work x amount of holidays each year.

Any way you spin it, the forth of July is my summer night to show up at work smiling with big bag of tricks to try make all the boo-boos better. Which is why I celebrated my little lovely's first fourth a little early. We packed in as much red-white-and-blue fun, including, but not limited to, a pint-sized sailor dress, a polka-dotted swim suit (which, of course, included a swim in the wheel-barrow), and......wait for it.......a chicken suit.
