so lightening does strike twice.

so, last night the two couples (the men came too-i LOVE my liberal town) who were kind enough to offer to share their nanny with us came over. which meant they walked across the street.

i have won a second lottery. listen to our now planned childcare-eight weeks of me, k or family keeping her. i will still go back part-time after three weeks at least 3 days in the morning (if i have to (don't throw me in that brier patch!) i will wear her and buy a portable crib for the office. and work a bit when i come home. but then. but then.

i will work 9-1 five days a week. for six months. part time. six months.

-the best of this

six months part time.

k will actually keep her one day a week for the full day most of the time.

she will be kept in my house or the house across the street. she will only rarely be in a car.

the nanny will only be watching one other child.

the nanny teaches them sign language in english and spanish.

we had budgeted for $2,000 a month for childcare costs-for worst case scenario.

we will only pay $500. yep, $500.

this is just so good to be true. you know, for the first time in my life, i've considered playing the lottery, because i clearly have some freakin' good luck. (though i am now increasingly worried that this is just too good to be true.)
