I realized we had not taken the given holidays, in service days and of course none of the sick days that most kids normally have during the first part of the year so far here. When DS was sick we still did SOME stuff. We are taking a day OFFwoohoo! I feel kind of guilty actually but started off today with a migraine so that old icky migraine 'hangover' will follow about mid day today and I will be useless.
I take days off as needed. My kids do work on plenty of days that kids have off of school. We even do school when the kids are sick to an extent. I do feel guilty when I take off day because I just wasn't prepared though. lol.
I can understand that. Not for lack of preparation today, just because we deserve a day off. Kids up here have had at least 4 already this term. ETA I am SURE WE will end up with a lack of preparation day soon though!
I needed this today...I've been 'struggling' all week for no aparent reason (stress, disappointment about something major that we wanted to happen and didn't happen, weather, etc.) and we've had many disruptions (kids' dental appointments). The kids have been moody, the weather has been wet and cold. I just feel "yucky," you know? So, tomorrow we have another doctor's appt., then I think we'll do a library day. It's nice to have someone to 'gripe to' that goes through the same things sometimes. Thanks for letting me 'vent.'
HSing works so well, that days off do not generally take away from the overall progress of children. Enjoy!
