Vicki - Day Care

[Guest guest]

Vicki,

Jerry stepped down from the youth group leader position when Matt was

born (he was getting frustrated and wanted to spend more time w/ his

own kids). Fortunately another couple (friends of ours) decided to

take over. But I think his office might frown on that type of

activity at work don't you !?! Besides, he doesn't even have an

office, only a cubicle! LOL!

$142.00/wk for day care for ONE child sounds good to me! We pay

$199.00 per week for Matt for full time and $135.00 per week for Ross

when he is full time and $74.00 per week for JUST after school. I

swear if I didn't have my student loans to pay I would just not work!

We are spending $1,200 - $1,300 per month for day care. That is

more than 1/2 of what I take home every month. We just can't find

quality in-home day care in our area so we end up having to go w/ day

care centers and the good ones are SOOO expensive. It is very

frustrating.

Matt loves to be kissed on the neck. That is how I get him to laugh.

I guess his neck is just as tickelish (sp?) as mommy's.

By the way, I held steady at 130. I guess my body is just not ready

to give up that last 10lbs (that is my story and i'm sticking to it

!).
