Thanks to all

Thank you so much for all your replies and e-mails. I am so overwhelmed by the support. I have done several of the suggestions already. I used craigslist before, and after weeding thru all the freaks and losers that responded I found our first babysitter who was great (unfortunately she only lasted two weeks). I did place another ad this past weekend and only got one reply and she wanted $2000.00/month which is outrageous! I also put in a call to my SW and she basically had the same suggestions that I am already using, but she is on the lookout for someone/anyone that might work out. And a big hello and thank you to Julie! I had no idea you were reading along on this journey, Stephanie just told me a little while back that you had move to KC, how are you doing? She said you have three boys now???!! That is amazing! I would love to see pictures; you can find my e-mail if you click on my profile. I did fill out the form on the link you sent me and just today, they sent me a list of centers that might work out in my area. Unfortunately, most of the ones listed are ones we have already been asked to leave! But there are a couple that may work out and I will be calling tomorrow.

So far this week, things are falling into place thanks to some awesome people I work with who have brokered out their own kids to do babysitting! Chase is still having some issues, but I think it's mostly due to all the transitions lately, most of which he brought on himself, but he doesn't recognize that as a four year old and I just have to deal with them. For now, we are okay, but everything could fall apart tomorrow and I just need to get a backup to a backup to a backup! Which isn't easy!

Thanks again, and if you all think of anything else we might try, keep the suggestions coming!
