Am I selfish?

Am I being selfish, or am I looking afer me? I'm not sure. The kids have half term in a couple of weeks, that means 3 of them off school running round the house and all the other stuff teenagers do.

I could take the week off work, it'd be easy. But I'm not, I'm going to work and the kids will be at my mums if I'm away for more than a couple of hours. They haven't been for a few weeks because I changed my contract and I dont do nights anymore.

I've booked the week after off work though, so I can have some time to myself. I'm bringing up 3 kids by myself I reckon I deserve it from time to time.

Am I being too selfish? My parents are only going to have the lads for a few hours three days. The lads will be out fishing anyway, mum is just going to feed them really.

I just got this sudden rush of guilt for taking the week off after their holiday, I spend time with them after school all the time and I'm usually off for their holidays, but this time I want me time.
