I\u2019ve been taking two weeks off a year (last week of July, first week of January) for years now. Other than that, I\u2019ve been in my bakery every other week of the year, but I had joked around with some customers about talking to \u201cmy boss\u201d about more vacation time now that I\u2019ve been working here over a decade. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" style=\"text-align: start; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Of course that conversation between Bonnie the bakery owner and Bonnie the bakery employee, is a budgetary one. If I\u2019m not working, I\u2019m not making money, which means there\u2019s no such thing as paid time off for a tiny business owner like me. This year I decided to see what I could pull off by being more intentionally frugal and saving as much as I could. I got really granular in my budgets throughout the year, and the kids were amazing and surprisingly supportive with checking my spreadsheets with me and locking on not making those earnest little requests that mom is powerless say no to. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" style=\"text-align: start; white-space: pre-wrap;\">All this is to say, I did it! I\u2019m taking a third week of vacation this year! I\u2019m taking my oldest to New York for their 19th birthday in October! I\u2019m so excited. I\u2019ll only miss one Thursday of bread, and October still ends up having 4 weeks with that Thursday missing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" style=\"text-align: start; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Thank you for supporting bread subscriptions so I can count on my income for each month, which allows me to budget and plan ahead. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Insightful people may have noticed that there is one Thursday missing from the October subscription next month.
