So this last year has been tough for my family and I - both personally, as well as with the business. I lost half my kiddos for various reasons and decided I would downsize and only have 3 plus my own DD. Of course, the one space I ended up filling was with a young child (I haven't had to deal with an under 18 months in quite some time) who didn't have a very good schedule and had a bit of a rough start into the transition. My older two have been going through home issues which have of course spilled over into their daycare life, plus the added stress they felt from having a new child plus my own DD join the daycare.
Finally, everyone seems to be settling back in.
I feel like I deserve a break so I just did my 2014 schedule and made it so that I never work more than 20 days without a paid day off! I still have the same amount of paid days off (about 25) as every other year but I strategically placed them so that I have a long weekend or vacation week every month - not including personal/sick days.
I also scheduled the same days off for my hubs so we could have lots of extra family time in the new year and all the dates were approved!
