So, here we are, onto round #3 of finding good reliable childcare providers for Laney.  We have had consistent back-up help, which has been SUCH a blessing.  But, finding the permanent childcare providers has been the challenge.  They either have worked out or the added drive time for me or pick-up/drop-off process has been too much to handle.  So, since October we are now onto round #3 of searching.

I understand that I am shooting for the stars when it comes to help.  I want someone to come to the house on Tue, Wed and Thur from 8-5.  They have to give the best of care and oh yea, we don’t have a lot of money to work with so they need to accept minimal pay…I think this is the root of our problem, but there isn’t much else we can do right now.  : 0 (  It is SO difficult!  Just when you think everything is working out fine then, boom!  Something happens and everything begins to fall through.

For a working mommy, who doesn’t get to see her daughter that much during the week, the inconsistency of week to week for my daughter is aggravating and adds just another layer of stress that I’m having a hard time dealing with.

Sean and I are both at our wits end and are just not sure where to go next?  Dear Lord, please bring us some relief!

On a happy note – Laney is 6 months old now, her 6 month birthday was yesterday!  She is getting SO big!  She said mama this morning, although I know that she had no idea what she said because I flipped out and she just stared at me like I was crazy…hahaha!  She is sitting up all by herself now too!  Pictures to come, I’m hoping to download her 6 month shots that I took of her yesterday later today.
