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.
Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

[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.

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.

Because books.
Whoo-hoo, Stephanie! Totally in awe, here. On the first try! With a newborn! You deserve a parade.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Congratulations, Stephanie!!! You are Wonder Woman -- breast-feeding a newborn with your DH in another country and you passed the bar first time! Yay!
