On Vox: funny thing, life
It's funny that the only time I seem to update this thing is when I feel like complaining about something :-) Today's topic: our (wonderful, awesome, unbelievable) day care is closing next month. EXCEPT, they want the parents to rally and keep it open. EXCEPT, no one has a plan for this to happen. EXCEPT, this one lady wants to buy it out and merge it with her day care. EXCEPT, she will fire our day care's staff to keep her own on. So our current day care wants us to commit to staying on, but they can't promise that the teachers will stay or even that they'll be open past the end of next month. And I feel very stuck, because I love the (wonderful, awesome, unbelievable) day care, but I need to know for my own sanity what is going on with kiddo's daily care and not scramble at the last minute to find a new place because plans fell through or our beloved teachers are not staying on or some other aspect is changed that makes it less perfect.
We lucked out and found a place at the day care on campus, which is very convenient and accredited and taught in the same way as our current day care. I think the main thing keeping me from signing the kiddo up is that she is so happy where she is, but it's going to change there no matter what I do. Plus I don't want to not support the place that has been so awesome and wonderful and unbelievable for two years of all our lives. Ugh!
Just what I needed this summer. More stress with a side of guilt!
