I used to do this, declare a mental health day, about twice a year when the kids were in school. Just because everyone needs a mental health day every now and then.

It is common to hear about someone calling off on count of not feeling good enough to go to work, but it is a new and exciting thought to say you are feeling too good to waist your day on your employment. I also hear great love for your kids with this. Good write.
