and the birds were singing

I found a babysitter! I found a babysitter!

Holy crap it's been a long search. I can't tell you what a relief it is to finally have someone who is available to watch the kids in the evening, is responsible, can drive and the very best part? She did the dishes!

Seriously, srsly, i went to work feeling like i could just do my job and not fret that the kids were unhappy.

She is close to my age, a PHd student, lives three blocks away, comes from a divorced family with three siblings and drives a car big enough to fit all my kids. I feel like, for the first time, the stars have aligned and things are going my way.

It seems like such a small thing, but the childcare issue has been such a problem for me.

Happy Canada day indeed.
