Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That seems economically improbable. Day care is not exactly cheap.

Her husband is apparently doing Quite Well.

I just heard from an out-based coworker that when she calls me, I sound filled with dread! I feel so bad, because what I actually am is relieved! I will be much perkier on the phone with her moving forward.

Don't forget that unemployed people count as Day People, too. Although if the day people had fistfuls of cash in their hands, they probably weren't unemployed....

I don't know, I kinds enjoy the thought that everybody walking around outside during the middle of the day just plays hooky and each and every one of them wonders secretly what everybody else is doing outside, while this everybody-else wonders the very same thing.

Day care is not exactly cheap.

Here, there are several mothers I know who pretty much only manage to cover day care with their salaries, give or take a bit (usually when there's more than one child involved). It's crazy.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

That's why we only have part time daycare, although that will change once Franny starts school (but aftercare is cheaper than daycare).

How much is daycare these days?

It varies wildly megan, from 1000+ to much less, like 600 or so.

I'm assuming that's per month, right?

“Not dead yet!”

::sigh::

I'm having a very Yosemite Sam during medieval times sort of day. You know, "Dragons is soooo stupid!" sort of day.

AKA, a headdesking day.

Gah.

We pay $640 every 4 weeks and are blessed to have such inexpensive and wonderful care. I dropped N off today after OT and there was only one other kid there. The day care I really wanted N and G to go to was about $1600/child for full time care.
