"Maybe I'll take off the Friday before Columbus Day. Then I'll have Friday and Monday off, but that'll cut into my Christmas time," says Oma.
Will cut into your Christmas time? Heaven forbid you're only off five weeks and four days, instead of the full six weeks. Has she seen our house? Does she not realize she sleeps on a sofa and has been for the last several months because there's only one bed in the house? Well two, if you count Jory's, but for some reason that room is sacred and no one can sleep in it. Does she not realize she hasn't seen her dining room table since before summer began because it's covered by children's clothes, jackets, and other such things?
Why don't we cut Christmas down to just a month and you spend two weeks at home so they can all finish up during regular business hours?
Maybe I'm living in an alternate universe where you don't get mad when construction guys say they do not want to work on Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, and after 4PM Monday thru Friday.
The finish line is visible, but instead for whatever reason she's decided to start running backwards towards the starting line.
