In a pickle
Well, I'm still alive, even if I still haven't finished my vacation report yet. I'll get to it eventually, but right now life is kicking my butt.
So, at the moment I'm desperately trying to find a replacement babysitter. I have my kids now, have for 3 weeks or so and that's a big part of why I haven't been very active, I've just been too busy. So anyway, my sister, who was sitting my kids, has decided that she can only watch them 3 days a weeks, mon-wed-fri. She'd gone camping this weekend and so I had found someone to watch them on Monday, cause she'd originally said she's swap Mon for Tues this week. So she called me last night and told me she wouldn't be able to watch the kids today. ARGH! This was at 9:45pm mind.
I tried the crisis nursery, which gives you 7 visits a year and I've already used up 2, but they're already booked full. I called and left messages with everyone I could think of who might have some time but everyone is avoiding me I think, since all I ever need is babysitting. So here I sit, 45 minutes before I should be AT work, still trying to figure out what I'm doing with my kids. I've already emailed my new manager and hopefully my new supervisor. Oh yea, I started a new position yesterday, that was more conducive to effectively managing the childcare issue (HA!), as well and I still don't have all the contact info for everyone there.
::FLAILS::
So, if anyone knows some CHEAP daycare/babysitting place, let me know. PLEASE. I simply can't afford $100+/wk for daycare for 2 kids right now.
Finding a replacement living place I can afford is also becoming an impending issue.
I could go on about the other problems, but they're just the normal stuff I've been dealing with for a while now.
Yes, I'm a little stressed.
Thanks,
