Kate, better yet? This wasn't a student! It was someone who works in the provost's office.
!!! Good lord.
I've spent the last hour researching drop-in daycare centers in the town where M teaches. Conclusion: There are very few, and the ones that exist are, for some reason, unlikely to be licensed by the state (and therefore subject to some regulation/oversight). I think I've found one halfway decent place, though.
This is because I'm flying out to Colorado next Friday for my uncles' wedding, and M is teaching a class that day, and we just found out that Rose's daycare will be closed that day. So our options are finding a drop-in daycare, finding a babysitter who can come to our house midmorning on a Friday, or M cancelling his class. Since the second option does not actually exist, and the third option is really a last resort, I'm hoping the drop-in daycare works out...
shrift,
it has been a dream of mine to go to Hawaii, so I might ask you about where you are staying and if you like it.
IF we went to Hawaii, Hubby might refuse to leave. He misses it more than Montarey.

Sure! I went to Kauai with Lee a couple of years ago and we stayed in a condo there, too, btw. I just spent the last few weeks staring at condo reviews, locations, amenities, and rack rates, so I feel like somebody should benefit from this. Well, other than me.
I'm hot toddying my sore throat into submission.
Yay Maui! Good luck with the child care stuff, Kate.
I keep seeing those Lumosity brain training ads. Anyone try it? I can't shake the idea that it'll be pushing subliminal messages, creating users for some villain's mind-controlled army.
I just found out that the main guy I am here in the office with most days is on vacation all next week. good googaly moogaly. I hope this does not mean that the big boss will be in every day, or that they think I know half of what that guy does, because he is like the anti-trainer. He would rather just do rather than teach.
ION - I would really like a vacation. I know I went in March and wah wah wah, but man like 3 days alone would be pretty much awesome. I wonder if anyone wants mac for Labor Day weekend?
I'll baby sit!!!
Hee, thanks, Suzi! Rose will be staying home with M this time, sadly. Also, I think if she came with me, you'd have to thumb-wrestle half a dozen grandparents/aunts/uncles/cousins for the privilege. (We'll be out in Crested Butte the whole time, so unfortunately no chance to say hi to localistas, but hopefully next time!)
Jesse, how did you pickle your jalapeño peppers. I have three and a little tiny jar
Kate, if you have a neighborhood listserv of some sort, post there to see if a nanny share situation has a spot because of vacation, or some such. My local parents' list is filled with that type of thing this year because daycares close for a couple of days and people are out on vacation.
