(First off, I was going to reveal the kitchen remodel today, but my husband got mud happy last night and filled several very small imperfections on the wall....so he is painting them as we speak and hopefully tomorrow I can put my pictures back up and show the reveal)
Now on to my problem:
What would you do in this situation? (If you read this blog please comment :) )
My great aunt died yesterday. Now I would not say we were prefectly close. She did come to my wedding and I did see her two months ago at a party. But other than that..it has been hit or miss over the years.
Now, her funeral is on Monday at 10:00 am. (they are having a visitation and funeral back to back...so it is estimated to go from 10-2 at the latest. )
Well Monday I work. I am a substitute teacher so working is hit or miss with me. It would be very easy to get the day off, I would just have to call and they would find another sub, but I really don't want to be out that money. Summer is coming soon and I will have 3 unpaid months off. With the kitchen remodel..every dollar counts right now.
Now, this aunt is the first of my grandmother's siblings to die.....and I am VERY close to my grandma....we talk or visit each other about twice a week and we plan lunch and coffee dates and shopping dates periodically. The death of her first sibling is hitting her pretty hard. I told her I had to work on Monday and she told me to go to work and that she totally understands. My dad might not be able to go either because he has to work Monday also......
What would you do in this situation? Go to work? or call and have them find another sub?

I think I would have them find another sub for the sake of your grandmother, even though she told you to go to work I'm sure she is going to need support at the funeral. The school will understand!
ReplyDeleteI would go to the funeral--it's worth it to be there for your family.
