I want french fries, vanilla shakes, pickles, marshmallows, and Ashley's homemade Chocolate Peanut Butter. Just saying.
I also won a free medium fry from McDonald's today on my large fry Monopoly piece - pretty excited!
I was sitting my my monogramed chair at work today and I literally almost fell asleep! I am still waiting for this energy thing to return...pretty sure it's not going to. I also discovered how amazing mens shirts are wrapped with a cute belt and a pair of leggings.
The weather today is perfectly cool and rainy - and I just want to draw a hot bath with bubbles and soak in it, but with my luck that would be a no-no during pregnancy. I also think I will be hitting the sack at about 8:30 tonight to try to prepare myself for another work day. Each day I get more and more tired. I think that's why I liked my schedule so much last week; 1 work day, 1 day off. PERFECTION!
I'm still on my quest for the right child-care scenario for next fall. I want someone who will only charge me for when my kid is there and not give me the story of "This is my income" because it doesn't work like that in the real world. People who provide a service can charge for services rendered. You don't get to tell me that this is your intended income and I pay you while I'm on vacation or taking the summer off. And don't even get me started on the whole "You pay for your day-care providers vacation"...my job doesn't pay for mine! I only get paid for working 185 days a year.
That is my rant for today. I will take suggestions for child care providers!
Uh, I hate the daycare scene. We went through 5 people in one year, cause lets face it people are not always reliable. Things come up that cant be controlled. It was so stressful every time we had to find someone new.
ReplyDeleteHence my staying home now.....Although you should check out sittercity.com and care.com
You could find someone to come to your home, or you could drop them off there. These sites also do a background check and you can post the job on the site, and search for local sitters.
Each site has a list of questions you can ask during interviews. If you start interviewing you might find someone awesome who only gets paid when they work. Or a college student/nanny.
Good luck with childcare Erin. I got lucky when it came to childcare for Alex. My downstairs neighbor is AMAZING. Alex and Aeryn both love her. I feel for you girlie. It does get better from here though.
ReplyDeleteChild care options are soooo expensive and good luck finding one that doesn't charge for summers. You need to find a college student who goes home in the summer, but will stay long enough to get you through your school year. Again, good luck with that!
