J has been off of work for the last 5 days. In order to make sure no OT is earned unnecessarily, they have PO days (Personal Off days) to balance out the hours. J happened to get one at the end of this past cycle and one first thing into the next. That means he only has to work today. His last shift was the 14th and his next after this will be next Wednesday the 26th. That made life SO nice yesterday.
Being a teacher, I have conferences 3 times a year - midway through each term. Yesterday and tonight are conferences for second term. Yesterday was also our youngest's birthday. I was not happy with the idea of not being able to spend her birthday with her. It is important to me that they have their special dinner (of their choice) and a cake on the actual day of their birthday. J told me not to worry - she's too little to care about the calendar. 'Tis true, but still... We always have a party for family, but the day should be remembered as well. So, when J came down to pick up the boys (they were grateful not to have to hang out here all night) he brought McD's (her choice :D ) and a little birthday cake. He kept my silly little traditions going, even when I had to work. What a sweetie!
And that is why I love my fireman!
