O/T-work advice
So unfortunately I'm still a contractor/temp. I'm looking for another job because I need benefits (vacation/paid time off) anyway so I found out that by Christmas week I will qualify for "Bonus Pay" from the temp agency. Essentially I have worked enough hours that I will get a "vacation" My Dilemma:
Do I take a week off and have a vacation? or
Do I take the week of pay and spend it on myself?
DH wants me to take a week off since I've been working 2 jobs since May and have have had a total of 4 days off. The time to myself during the day while the kids are at school and DH is at work would be nice. I also thought about maybe just taking a couple of days off and spending the extra money on myself.
What do y'all think?

Can you do a little of both?
Can you do a little of both? Maybe take a Friday and Monday off so you have a nice long weekend and then get paid for the rest so you can treat yourself?
I'm a vacation hoarder! I get 5 weeks every year which we have to use or lose by June 30th. We are allowed to carry one week over into the next year, so I do that and then I take pay for one week and then I use the remaining 3 weeks and take every Monday and Friday off the months of May and June. I freaking love it!!!
I'm not sure about this year though as in the past it's been nice because of having BS4. We would go to the park, the lake, etc which is awesome on a week day because it's not mobbed because everybody is at work and in school. But this year, BS4 will be in school so I'll be solo
