We figured that if we had to put L in daycare after school, plus extra gas, plus work clothes, etc, would cost us at least $400/mo in extra expenses. Plus, factoring in the fact that we desperately do not want to put her in daycare, especially for the entire day during the summer and school holidays, it works for us. I considered being a bus driver but I really hate driving in traffic and I think I might curse too much. LOL I'm thinking (again) of going back to school and it would be easier with a 4 hour job. But I still do keep hearing that stupid song, especially the line "you got flabby arms and your breath is bad." I confess, I DO have flabby arms! (Not sure about my breath though...LOL)

Congrats on not doing the care thing if you can possibly avoid it.

Originally Posted By mele Thanks joe. I confess I haven't been able to work out for at least the past 18 months due to being anemic (too tired and really dizzy). Kind of a lame excuse because I didn't take care of the anemia until a couple of months ago. Honestly, I didn't realize how dangerous anemia was or how much it affected me mentally and physically. But it's nice that some of my problems were not a character flaw but stuff that could be fixed with a handful of iron pills. LOL Linnie and I pinkie swore that we'd exercise everyday this summer (up until my surgery in late July). Hopefully that will help with the procedure and keep us busy.
Originally Posted By friendofdd I confess I made it to So SF in eight hours, including coffee at Harris Ranch and lunch in Gilroy (in 'n out). The wifi advertised for HoJo Express actually exists and I'm not in travel limbo. 2ooney, I would love to do lunch with you sometime. Unfortunately, this is a quick trip that is filled with wedding related stuff. We are hoping to come for a full week sometime in August, so perhaps then.
Originally Posted By mele I also confess that a few of the local daycares in our area were really mean to Warner (who is bipolar and probably has ADD too) when we had to put him in daycare for a few months. (I understand that a lot of workers are under-paid and under-educated.) When he heard us talking about putting Linnie in daycare awhile ago, he burst into tears and begged us not to. It breaks my heart that he had to suffer and there's just no way I can do that to another child.

Life sometimes seems to much to bear. I know nothing of the surgery but I hope the best and I wrote a couple months ago when you were in "hiatus" that I hoped you were alright. After all people's political differences et al, we'll all be gone quite soon, so ......... ccj

Originally Posted By friendofdd You have my sympathy, ccj. I lost my brother a year and a half ago. Knowing that we are losing a loved one is very difficult.

Originally Posted By MissCandice I confess I hope I feel better too. My self-esteem took a major hit yesterday and I am a bit wobbly because of it.
