It's the sensible, responsible thing to do to ask for help if you feel overwhelmed. I was the nanny, not the mom, but I know that I was the relief for the parents. Our local nextdoor.com regularly has posts about nanny sharing, would something like that be helpful maybe?

I honestly don't know what I need right now beyond a way to stop crying before my inlaws show up.
There are only 5 people in my entire town registered for nextdoor, and I'm not sure I could afford a nanny share anyway. Yesterday was such a good day. I got so much done and was feeling good. What the hell is wrong with me?

Good days and bad days does not mean anything is wrong with you. We all get overwhelmed. I hope you and TCG can come up with some workable plan for recharging time. Toddlers are exhausting!!

good days and bad days happen. For lots of reasons.
I'm waffling on whether I should apply for the library position, it's part time and no insurance and I need to get anything with insurance.

I need some advice about my resume--
I worked at the petstore for about 4 months, should I include that or not?

Does it have stuff that would be applicable to the job you're applying for? If not, there's no reason you can't leave it off.

I'd done pretty much everything before, I'll leave it off.

TCG is just leaving work now. He's usually home already. I guess I can't get mad because he had to move a meeting so he could have tomorrow off, but it would have been nice to have some notice.

I hope he is home now and that tomorrow is a much better day.

He is. Thank you.
