Stephanie, Esquire! Such a huge accomplishment and with a teeny tiny baby, no less. You rule.
See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Stephanie, millions of congrats on kicking the Bar's ass and making it your bitch WHILE BREASTFEEDING. If I ever fall into deep legal shit I want you representing me because, damn, woman, you can do anything.

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!
Susan, I did just that. Stayed home with second kid, went nuts, had to jobhunt and daycare-hunt simultaneously. The trick is that you have to hunt for childcare just the way you are supposed to hunt for jobs -- make sure everybody you know is aware that you're looking. That means that, for instance, you tell your minister, because s/he may know some mothers you don't, or know somebody at another church, or be willing to put a note on the board.
It's exhausting, but it can be done. I wound up stair-stepping up from not-so-great daycare to better daycare. Then I got incredibly lucky, and found this wonderful woman who took in both my daughter after school and my son as an infant. She was everything I dreamed of, and I only found her because her oldest kid went to the same school mine did.
