I am sure your clients will understand this.

Just a suggestion tootie.
I'd love to do that. It would be fantastic just to take one whole day off to spend with my kids. They've been begging me to take them to the zoo all summer. But unfortunately I *literally* have someone screaming bloody murder at me for money every single day of the week. I can't get a break. Not even for one day. I wake up every morning and the first thing I do is say, "Please, if there is any form of a God out there, if you have any love for me at all, just let me have one day off." Then I go to the mailbox and there is someone else having a complete and utter fit at me to pay them "now, now, now, or else!" It's enough to drive one over the deep end. So I have to keep working because every day I don't is another bill I can't pay.

Wow, once you get behind it seems almost impossible to get caught up. LOL

And I don't think the utility companies are going to care one iota what I have or have not been diagnosed with or that my kids are starting to slip up and call the nanny "mom".
