DH has been working late all week and it kind of sucks. I feel all kinds of pathetic being home all day without him. Like he pulled all of this stuff out of his closet that I don't know what to do with so it's just sitting there and we have a busted up old shelf that needs thrown out just hanging out in the middle of the kitchen but I can't get rid of it on my own. As a result our apartment looks so messy and it's driving me nuts because I can't do anything about it. He's completely blown off the car repairs and inspection that need done before I go back to work next week too so now I'm worried that it won't get done on time. I don't want to get mad at him since he's working so hard and we need the extra money but it's frustrating. I thought this week was going to be relaxing but it's kind of stressing me out. Sorry, just needed to vent.
Has anyone used Care.com? I am thinking about signing up. Found out the nanny maybe giving us her notice and I need to kick it up a notch and find daycare or other nanny to come to the house!
If I remember correctly victoria is a care.com caregiver. I know she hasn't been here in forever but maybe if I tag her she will see it and come visit and share some wisdom with you.
Wisdom dropping in!
You can find some really great caregivers on care.com and can do your background and reference checks right through the site too!

For the longest time DD would only take 20 min naps. At the beginning of august I finally got her to sleep 1- 1 1/2 hrs at a time, through some sleep training. Now shes back to 20 min naps again! This is so frustrating! Anyone else have nap donkey?

We have used it to find a babysitter in WA and one now that we are here. We had pretty good luck but we weren't looking for full time care which would have made a difference for our criteria.

K does pretty well with most sippy cups when I put water in them. She even figured out the straw. I tried one with WCM and she spit the milk out, glared at me, and then threw her cup. Apparently she is not a fan.

I did and was "meh" about it. Ended up firing the nanny I did hire, for a lot of reasons. I'll PM you my advice on using it (and in general).

Solidarity. Been there at least twice this week. Hugs.

Stay consistent! DS did great for weeks at a time then would relapse a day or two. Just keep at it and it becomes a pretty solid schedule. I used the advice from No Cry Sleep Solution to help with naps.

Hi swise22! Are you feeling better? Hope work isn't getting you down.
Thanks for asking. It's actually been terrible lately I haven't been on here as much as I would have liked to the last few days because I feel like such a downer right now.
