My lunch was chicken salad and yogurt. Not together. Eh, it wasn't bad, and I'll be hitting the grocery store tonight. Maybe I'll get some patê or suchlike. Oooh, and red wine. [pulls out grocery list and scribbles madly]
Inara: I think she looks adorable. Mal: Yeah, but I never said it.

Spike's Bitches 25 to Life
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Happy anniversary to juliana and husband!
Curse you, Nora, for the food porn! Now I'm really hungry and there is no curry bar.
Off to buy the new Kanye West CD now.

OK, mild panic attack here.
I just called a daycare center recommended by a friend. They don't expect to have an opening in the toddler room until December.
What the hell am I going to do with Annabel if I get this job? I figured I could find a SAHM to look after her for a month or so, but 3-4 months!?

I mean, really, what do people do? I can't be the only person who's ever been in these circumstances.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
People put their kids on lists before they are even born. Em is on 2 others that she has been on for over a year and they still haven't called, but I refuse to take her off just in case.

If I only had a brain...
You have to spread a wide net. Childcare-hunting is like job-hunting, you can't assume that one application suffices. You apply everywhere you can think of to get that one slot. Infants are harder to place than toddlers.
Aren't you a member of a church? The mother's organization/nursery staff may well know of somebody appropriate.

I don't have a time machine!
I mean, I can't be the only woman who's tried SAHM/work from home and thought, you know, this isn't working. And you can't place the child before you have a job, because until you have the job you don't have money!
