I bet you thought, when I said I'd be posting every day this month, that I'd be posting something of value every day. Ha! Fooled ya!
Anyway. As the year winds to a close, I find myself sitting on 7 vacation days. I definitely need two days for Christmas. I could take the others any time I wanted -- the week before Thanksgiving, for example, the better to make pies, or a few days in December, the better to go shopping while the children are in school. I could take a day to decorate the house for Christmas. You get the idea.
Or, I could cash in five days and, in essence, receive a bonus week's pay. Which would pretty much almost pay for the plane tickets I just bought.
Time? Money? Which would you choose?
About Me
- Krista
- The little girl closed the photograph album and leaned against her mother. "Is that all?" said the little girl. "No," said her mother. "Someday, you'll be showing your picture to your little girl, and you will be telling her that... the sky will always be blue. Grass will always be green. Snow will always be white and cold. The sun will always be warm and yellow. And then," said her mother, "you'll hug her too." --Charlotte Zolotow

Well, that is a hard one. I def. know which Seth would choose. But time off, I am sure, is worth it too because you can do all those things during the day with no kids and not too many crowds. So, I don't know. Not much help am I?
I don't know either. Sometimes a day by yourself before the holidays is worth more than money.
