I like this one
and it would look much better if you stood straight. It would be a good work dress for me
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

[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.

Susan, check the U's HR site. I think they have info in addition to the packet they give you.

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!
ARRRRRGHHHHHHH!!!@!!!!!!!!

Thrive to spite them
CHeck your church and see if they have a program, if they don't ask what they recommend. Talk to other Moms, call other churches.
I see two churches close to where I live advertising day care.
