The Search is over!

After telling a friend of mine that I was searching for a babysitter, she said she was offended that I didn't ask her. On top of that, she said she'd do it for free. She also needs a sitter from time to time, so I guess it'll work out for both of us. (Though I think I got the better end of the deal... she's only got one kid, who's pretty easy to take care of. My three...? They're pretty good I guess. {insert evil laugh here} ) So another meeting tomorrow morning at the office. I feel horrible because for the past week, I pretty much fell off the face of the earth as far as the office is concerned... Monday afternoon: a few hours after I came home I came down with this horrible fever/sickness, and was pretty much on my butt for three days. I still have a really bad cough that kind of makes you not want to be around me, but at least I can move now! I was coughing throughout the last meeting, and I'm sure it made a wonderful impression. I think I'm getting back into work. I'm trying. Baby steps.

The Search is On!

Now that I've decided to go back to work, I'm in search of a Nanny. Well, really babysitter. I know that I have friends to ask for help with the kids, but it's so easy for either side in that situation to feel like they're being taken advantage of, underpaid, etc. Plus the majority of the people I know have jobs themselves , and I need to know that my schedule isn't going to conflict with their work schedule. I'm interviewing a few people, but it's so hard to really get to know a person in a 20 minute interview. Especially because now I have Matt and he's so young; it would be easy for something to happen to him and me never know the truth because he can't talk. (aside from mamama, dadada, babababa) On the plus side Nate has an excellent memory and is a total tattle-tale. We'll see how it goes!
