Ooh! I read that book!
You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

And in other news, I was supposed to start volunteering at NC Legal Aid next Monday working with immigration stuff. My contact is now going to a funeral which means I won't start for maybe 2 more weeks. I'm sort of happy to have the time to myself, but how I am going to get a job (see previous list of debts) if I don't start networking before I have this baby.

No, which is why I don't want to live anywhere with FROST, thankyewverymuch.
Oh yeah, the frost. But that was a dry cold.

I am entirely too attached to my neighborhood. I can't imagine ever living elsewhere.
YOU CANT AVOID THE GIRLSCOUT COOKIE MAFIA!
Unless, apparently, you're me. The last time I saw someone selling girl scout cookies was when I went to Seattle. Two years ago.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
but y'all aren't in a situation where you've got two people who will be working 9-5 40 hr/week jobs
Well, true, but we have trouble enough taking care of the dog while we're traveling and such. I think we'd have to be headed well back toward 9-5's to be able to handle kids. At least I think we'd need to come in off the road. We could maybe do admin stuff of what we do, or recording, or the art center. But I can't see being on the road constantly with an infant, or a toddler. Or a teenager!

If I only had a brain...
I think all the Girl Scouts in the Bay Area have been sold into prostitution.

Our daycare plan is to get an au pair, assuming I find a job next fall/winter. They are slightly more expensive than regular daycare, but they are around at all hours and would solve some of the problems caused for us by DH's crazy work hours.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Word has gotten out through the Girl Scout Mafia: quote Addams Family at the scary people in black clothes, and they'll buy boxes of Thin Mints.
Hrrmph. I wear black to work every day, and nobody quotes the Addams Family or sells me Thin Mints!
salaries normally compound
For values of "normal" that include no job I've ever had.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
The Girl Scouts managed to miss me this year. No cookies. I am sad.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
But I can't see being on the road constantly with an infant, or a toddler.
A lot of musicians do it. Kristen Hirsh took her kids out on the road for months at a time. Vaudeville families did it. There are a lot of things that are probably easier about it. If you're not stuck with a rigid job schedule, then juggling parenting and work is a lot easier.
