Hi all,

Summer is upon us and man do I feel the need for a day off or two once and awhile! Anyone else feel the same?!?! Lol
I admit I feel a lot of guilt when I schedule a day off. I plan them well in advance (a few months in advance typically) so that the families can make alternate arrangements but now that my eldest is out of school I'd love to add a day or two to extend a weekend or two but of course feel absolutely guilty even thinking about it. Even with giving the families more than 4 weeks notice! Am I insane?!?! I have a very small group (only 3 families - one being part-time) and ultimately I NEED to take a break here and there so I keep my sanity intact. Do you just take off the time you need and not worry or do you avoid it?? You'd think I'd just get over my worry after millions of years in childcare...
