I typically take 3-4 weeks off a year. 1 week in Feb, 1-2 weeks in Aug and a week off at Christmas. This year however I have not taken no time off in Feb as I just started getting dc kids in march since relocating. This summer I'm thinking about just taking off every Friday for 5 weeks as I'm having a hard time financially. I'm not sure if I can wait until Christmas to have a week off. All my holidays are unpaid but I am paid for all stats.
