this woman’s work

Virtual high-fives all around! She’s great — lots of professional experience, no interest in full-time childcare work (she has a handy-woman business and she’s available for all your sundry tasks) so she can take my piddling 4 - 6 hours a week. She WANTS to do activities with them (I told her it would be fine if she just kept them from playing with matches and drinking drano but she LIKES planning “arts and crafts and some science experiments”). She clicked with both kids and they were chattering away at her, interrupting our Very Important interview.

Now I have no excuse to not be productive. (Damn.) She starts next Wednesday.

I had a big, bad post planned but it’s 9:15pm and I still have some busy-work to do before I can lay down my weary head. Just wanted to pop in and report my fantabulous, life-changing news! (And you know what? I have fabulous Feracious to thank because an in-real-life friend of hers happened to click from her blog to my blog, happened to read my blog on a day I was talking about our then just-beginning writing group, happened to email to say she was a writer and was interested and then last meeting gave me this recommendation. The internets, she is like a miracle to me!)
