I got a phone call this morning at 7:15 saying that I probably shouldn't come in to babysit today until Kelvin's nap. The little guy is sick and they didn't want me to catch it or deal with a grumpy toddler. Granted, I had already showered, made coffee, and had poured myself a bowl of cereal; but nothing ever beats a spontaneously freed up day. Then, you realize that with some extra time to accomplish a few tasks you couldn't get done over the weekend, things really can get better. What I lose in this week's pay check has been paid back in gorgeous weather, a fabulous lunch of stuffed tomatoes, a cup of chai, and TIME- an element that seems to be lacking these days.
Last Monday, I had to suffer through Snow Day. This Monday, I get to benefit from Kelvin's virus. And I'm happy about the compensation. Does that make me a bad person?
Confession o' the Day: I have a mini crush on the maintenance guy for my apartment complex.
happy,
babysitting
