Okay, so you know how teachers are allowed to call in and get “substitutes”?
Well, I’ve decided I want a “mommy sub”. I need a break. I haven’t had a decent break in over 8 years. (Yeah, I know, kinda whining … I’ll admit.)
Hubby got the day off last week and called in a sub. What!!?? And, of course, it threw off my WHOLE day because he’s now in my space for the day time when he is usually at work. Any other spouses get this problem? The other “working” spouse stays home and throws off your game?
So, I got to thinking … why can’t I call in a sub? Sure, there’s the sitter. But, then I have to pay – ack! and then I get more stressed thinking what it cost me to “get the day off” …
Maybe, just maybe, it costs more NOT to take the day off. Some days I’m just so run down and tired I need a break.
I gotta think about this — I really need to plan for a sub! (And, SOON!)
