It's Only for a Month...


And I can do ANYTHING for just ONE month. Right? Right?? I had yet another instance of diarrhea of the mouth a few weeks ago. My friend Wendy called because her daycare person had just given her one-week's notice, but she still had about 5 1/2 weeks left until the school year was over (she's a teacher).


She felt awful about even asking, but didn't know what to do.

Of course I said I'd be happy to help out in any way that I could! And I am happy to help, honest. But man oh man is there a big difference between a 2 year old and my 4 year olds! They get along fairly well, and Katy is such a little mommy--she's eating it up (Olivia has informed me after just 2 days that she doesn't want me to babysit anymore...). Nora is a very sweet little girl, but she requires so much more supervision than I've gotten used to having to provide! And it doesn't help matters that I got rid of ALL my baby proofing stuff before we moved.

Ah well, it's just a month. The time will fly by. Right? Please agree with me...

On the up side, the $$$ I'm making for this month of child care is helping to pay for a lovely stay at Topsail Island Beach in July. I think I need to put a picture of the beach house on the refrigerator, or maybe in the crisper (talk about a carrot!)

Absolutely you can do anything for a month. Seriously. And you can remind me of the same when I'm in my super awful 8-week class this summer without the incentive of a vacation or extra money! :) It will be ok, and you'll do fine.
