What are they doing all of that time? Do they eat enough (because they never eat at home, etc).<br /><br />GL with the interviews!Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07729524163430608531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5602915421357912126.post-55350552324359747122010-04-27T12:26:38.067-04:002010-04-27T12:26:38.067-04:00Our kids are in daycare from about 7:15 until 4:30...Our kids are in daycare from about 7:15 until 4:30 (in theory). In practice, I usually don't pick them up right at 4:30, it's often later and sometimes as late as 5:15/5:30. Does it stink? Yes. Do I feel guilt about this? Yes.<br /><br />Sigh.A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04738641472687270029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5602915421357912126.post-12285065235908652212010-04-27T11:58:08.354-04:002010-04-27T11:58:08.354-04:00First, good luck with the interviews.

Speaking from experience, having a stressful work life, no matter how hard you try, does affect you in other areas.<br /><br />As for the daycare hours, my two oldest were regularly there from 7:30 to 5:00 - anyone who has to work 8-hour day plus even a 15-minute commute is looking at similar hours. You're doing what works right now for your family - don't beat yourself up. We don't have the Baby in daycare, but the tradeoff is me working only part-time, so money is MUCH tighter, and Hubby working second shift means he's not home at night. The Oldest doesn't see his dad from Sunday night to Saturday morning except for kissing him goodbye in the AM. <br /><br />The light bulbs I'm totally with you on. I know they use less energy, but they also contain mercury. And they won't work in some of my lamps because they have clip-on shades, which the new bulbs won't allow for.<br /><br />As for "... until she stops being so stubborn" - HAHAHAHA! Sorry to tell you, but this is just the tip of the iceberg. Learn to love the ponytails for now, because she won't want those at some point either.WorkingMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06401988118652082969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5602915421357912126.post-40668389244978661312010-04-27T11:41:59.488-04:002010-04-27T11:41:59.488-04:00First of all I know you'll do great on your in...First of all I know you'll do great on your interviews!<br /><br />Dominick is in daycare, usually from 7 a.m. until 4:45/5 p.m., but some days until 5:30. Poor guy. Most of the kiddos are gone on those late night pick ups.Rebecca M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12628967846366982411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5602915421357912126.post-66158846738337296522010-04-27T11:06:09.443-04:002010-04-27T11:06:09.443-04:00Great news about the interview(s)!

Probably b/c he has lots of friends and activities to do while he's there. It doesn't hurt that his teachers dote on him, too!<br /><br />I say let Cameron rock the ponytail for as long as she can!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00559246059391809008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5602915421357912126.post-47891125751371631882010-04-27T10:54:53.948-04:002010-04-27T10:54:53.948-04:00I'd go with the Pebbles look.

Let's face it, you have a very small window in life where your can rock (what a great opportunity for a pun) that look! <br /><br />Good luck with job stuff...hope all goes well!LERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00130965272643542546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5602915421357912126.post-107123870032743262010-04-27T10:33:58.718-04:002010-04-27T10:33:58.718-04:00Good luck on the interviews!

But if you are thinking dropping that means she'll need to go to bed earlier you are correct. It is hard trying to schedule them around our work schedules, isn't it? That's why I do the AM but work late and Husband does the PM - so we can each see the kids for an hour or two a piece.Mommy, Esq.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00228638552586921228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5602915421357912126.post-61896459409493456572010-04-27T10:01:13.881-04:002010-04-27T10:01:13.881-04:00ha ha about the shout out.

It sucks to not get that quality time but someone has to pay the bills I guess.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13967089207573722905noreply@blogger.com
