By the way, if you want, you can run off to Maui and attend a family child care conference in December where I'll be speaking for two days:
If you said to me, "Hey, take this client for an extra hour each day, and you will make almost $9 per hour, but have to stay open later," I'd say, "No thank you!" You are talking about the value of time vs. money. I value time more than money.
Now, if the FP could get me on the computer and I could do it during naptime, then yeah, it would be worth it.
As for Maui, I will have to skip that one - heading to an island off of Portugal in March
We do love to travel! I've been to Kauai, but not Maui. It is my favorite place in the world.
