Should This Work-at-Home Mom Work on Vacation?

 

We're supposed to go on vacation tomorrow. And although I'm really excited, I'm also frustrated, because I feel like I need to work some while I'm on vacation. I really can't afford to make absolutely no income while I'm gone. After all, when I get back, the bills will still be waiting, and the rent will still have to be paid.

I'm taking my computer so I can keep this blog up and running anyway. But I feel like I have no choice but to also take some transcription work while I'm at the beach. What do you think? Do you ever take your work with you on vacation? Am I crazy or just realistic?

I've taken work on all of my last 4 or 5 vacations, and I still had fun. But what I wouldn't give to just relax and put work out of my mind. Hmm...
