It is day one of my son’s school Winter Break. He’s a kindergartner and thinks that getting two whole weeks of during Christmas is a gift from God. I, as a full-time working momma, realize that if God had anything to do with it then he’s one masochistic son of a bitch.
When my son was in preschool, he always had the week between Christmas and New Year’s off. The school used that week to not only give the teachers a much needed break but also to use the time to perform maintenance. One week a year was easy to manage. I’d take a couple of days off, my spouse would take a couple, and a Grandparent would always step in when needed.
