Sad Choice

I made a sad choice today.  I chose money over family. I was pretty excited this week because I found out I had two days of vacation left and my boss was fine with my taking them before the new year.  He also offered to just pay them out.  Well I was sure I would take the time off and try to spend time with the family.  However, this morning my wife was on the rampage. We got into a confrontation primarily about her yelling, bossing and be-raiding me and the kids.  In that moment I thought why the fuck would I want to take a day off work to deal with this all day.  I can go to work, get paid for my vacation, have a little bit extra money and be much happier.  Not happier because I have more money but happier because I have less time I have to be with my wife.  Now that is a sad sad story.  I hope I can change it some day.
