Hi ladies -
Just joining over hear. Was a member of TB for 9+ years, but most recently haven't been around much.
I somehow had 2 names on the TB when there were issues with one not logging in so I've been DallasHorn and Ladylonghorn.
So me...3 kids: DD1 - 9 (3rd gr), DS - 6 (Kinder), DD2 - 3 (preschool). I have always worked FT although I currently do a compressed schedule 9/80 so I have every other Friday off and I work full time from home. I'm an internal consultant for the HR function of a very large consulting/technology company.
My most pressing WM challenge right now is childcare. Our nanny of 2.5 years resigned and today is her last day. We only use her part time since DD2 is in preschool 2 days/week for 5 hours and then everyother Friday I'm off. In the end, I'm bringing back a previous nanny that was with us for 2 years as the hours work for her and I've set the expectation it's only for 4 months and then we expect there will be an opening at our top choice full time preschool/day care. I'm sure I will need this board a TON over the next 4 months to keep my santity. Our previous nanny was good, but it went to just ok at the end due to her overstepping her bounds (I call it "grandma syndrom") and wasn't respecting my requests/rules related to the kids. Again, I keep telling myself...it's just 4 months.
