Asnat called last night. She is not coming back from LA. Too sunny there.
And our new babysitter called this afternoon. She has found a new job, with more hours and relevant to what she wants to do as a career.
So, that leaves me with eight hours a week of childcare (when I work twenty-five hours) for the next however many weeks of work (possibly as many as eight, although given precedent probably more like six). And then, IY"H, eight hours a week of help at home when I'll have a brand-new baby, a 21-month-old, and a currently rather volatile 3.5-year-old. MHH gets three personal days, which will probably get used up between my actually having the baby and being in the hospital. So chances are very high that I will walk in the door with the new baby and immediately be on my own with everyone for every waking minute, less the eight hours of the week that our original (fabulous) babysitter will be here.
I need to get something else figured out. Really, really soon.

I had horrible babysitter problems that some day, not now, maybe when your kids are grown, I'll relay. (no abuse or anything, just the sort of thing you are describing here.) I wish I lived closer so that I could help. What is the blessing for good babysitters?
