My sister has told my nieces that I am coming to visit.
... but I can't break their little hearts like that.

Plus I don't know when I could get
two weeks off work again.

... Kayleigh beat up Sirius last night.

1) Tell Kayleigh to take a Chill Pill and take
a Tyme Out in the underground den!

As for the Trip ~
Maybe a nice chat with your Boss...
"Explain" what Stuart is doing (Fighting WildFires) -
and that it wasn't *planned*!
Ask if he couldn't let you re-schedule your time off!

The Nieces?
I'd bet that Sis can manage to break the news that you WILL be
visiting - just not quite as soon as was planned.

You'll *enjoy* your vacation / family visit a LOT more if
you're not worried about the FurKids!

Good Luck!
