But going back to work, I was given so much grief if I had to call off due to Hayden being sick, etc. I wish I would have just said, Oh, I'm taking a day off every week because I'm entitled to it (Unpaid, of course, but I wasn't being paid when I called off--just written up by work!) I'm kind of glad that it happened though, because it was such a high stress job and I ended up quitting and I'm out of retail!Sippy Cup Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00417409938533281653noreply@blogger.com
