These Are The Breaks

Tomorrow is a holiday and my kids are out of school. Since I no longer work in the school system I have to go to work.

Dilemma.

No one is available to babysit.

I’m not on salary.

Which means: pay cut.

Excuse me while I wring my hands in frustration as I fight this feeling of embarrassment/helplessness because I don’t have help with my kids.

I only started this job a week ago and I’m already calling off because of my kids.

Damn.
