I've decided to take Halloween off. I have three children (Kindi, 2nd & 4th grade) I've missed every holiday party, the parade, and always have that 1 parent that doesn't pick up their kid until after closing as they needed to grab candy from the store, or get their other kid to a party before picking up their DCK. I've made a permanent change to my contract (close early on Halloween) for next year and this year I'm just taking off!! It's a Friday, our neighbors do a 'chili dump' we all make chili and dump it into one giant pot and take the kids trick-or-treating and sit by a fire and relax. My dd has a cheer competition the next day and I don't need all the stress. Plus now only 3 parents can volunteer per party at the school and it's chosen out of a hat and I'm the Mom that got picked! I just couldn't pass it up this year.
I told the parents I need a personal day, they do NOT need to pay me for this personal day, but they do need to find alternate care. I haven't taken a personal day in 10 years. I feel guilty, but so excited to be free this day to be there for MY kids =) 2 parents just started end of September, only one comes on Fridays. At this point, I just need a break!
