Taking Veteran's Day Off?

[SuzanneL70]

Just wondering how many of you take Veteran's Day off (this Friday). I didn't add that one into my contract but I'm wishing I had now. :-)

[Country Kids]

OH yes I am and very excited!!!! I started taking all Federal Holidays off because my husband works for he state in the courts and has them off as well as my children. I figure we can always have extra family time on those days!

[Maddy'sMommy]

I don't, my husband isn't off, so I figure I may as well work. Plus, not all my parents are federal workers, so they need me that day.

If my husband was off, I would consider it. I take all my holidays as unpaid anyways, so it's just a matter of giving the parents enough notice.

im off!! my first paid holiday off this year!!! Woot!!

[Oneluckymom]

I have that one scheduled off as paid. Though my husband is working.

[CheekyChick]

I take ALL federal holidays off paid. I can't WAIT for Friday.

[awestbrook713]

Not this year but I added it into my updated contract for next year.

[Cat Herder]

I only took the ones the School System took off.

[CaliMom]

I'm off and getting paid for it! All my families are teachers so they are off. Best part, so is my hubby!

[snbauser]

Closed. It is a school holiday too.

Well I feel so dumb now~ I am definitely adding Veteran's Day off into my contract for next year. I have Labor and Memorial days off so why not Veteran's? Maybe I'll get lucky and my families will keep their kids home on Friday.... here's hoping...

I thought I had the day off! Looked in my phb and its not there!!! I am redoing my phb and I am going to add this day!

[wdmmom]

I'll be working. The kids will be in school. I don't take Federal holidays. All of my parents have to work so I do too!

I take this day off. My husband is a vet and we do lots of special things for him on this special day. Occassionally my dc familes complain I have "too many" days off but they never even think about saying it around vets day. If they don't honor the service my husband (and the other millions of vets who have served) has offered they are at the wrong house- and they know that.

I agree and this is a very special holiday. Thank you to your husband!
