I am blessed to have a job with a lot of PTO (paid time off). Plus, because I work part time, I rarely have to use much PTO when I take a day off here and there because I am contracted for 20 hours a week. I only need to use a few hours when I take a full day off. So when the school calendar comes out, I take off most of the school kid's vacation days.
In the fall we went on hikes for each of the days and I had great plans for Cross country skiing for winter days off.
HAHA
If only we didn't risk hypothermia today (and MLK day) It is minus 3 as I write this post.

So we are staying home today.
The kids were busy bees helping me this morning clean the house, so I treated them to take-out. (Joel is willing to go out in the weather for food to be sure and definitely for 5 Guys, which is what he picked today.) I don't like the place, which was a bonus for me! (I had left-over turkey burger!!)
Joel also was willing to pose for a picture because I was doing a review for NorthFace for a chance to win a $100 gift card. I had bought Joel this coat in late 2020 when NorthFace gave healthcare workers 50% off any one item. Joel was the big winner, since he was the only one in need of a new coat. I think he hopes to score a sweat-shirt or something if I win the drawing.
