Summer is vacation season. There all kinds of hints about decompressing after vacation, but, what about if you have trouble relaxing enough to get into a vacation?
I know when I have time off, sometimes the pressure of having to relax because, “it’s vacation” (Relax! Now!) has the opposite effect on me.

Every working parent, at one time or another, has experienced the futility of a planned day off from work.
We’ve grown to accept the fact that time away from work nearly always involves a sick kid, a field trip, a school holiday, or, the dreaded early school dismissal.

One of the hardest things for me about working, and, having young kids are Friday afternoons.

But, then along came children, and, I had […]
If i miss any more work, I will have to change the name of this site to “Kids”.

Taking time off, though necessary for your sanity, can also be very stressful when it’s time to get back to the reality of home life, and, work. With Easter time, and, Spring Break on the horizon, people are looking forward to getting away, but, along with “getting away” comes “coming home”, and, back to reality.
