So far this school year, our schedules with my teaching job and JJ's, and the kids has worked out very well. James goes with me to school, and Randi stays home with Daddy. JJ has just moved back up to part time management with Jasper's, and will probably need to free up his schedule entirely so he can move to full time management in the next couple of months. We have struggled with this, because the cost for Randi to go to child care, even part time, is almost as much as I bring home in a month. Child care in The Woodlands at a decent facility for infants/toddlers is insane! Think mortgage payment here!
A couple weeks ago, JJ found a business card on the windshield of his car for a lady that takes care of kids in her apartment. The kids and I walked over today to 'interview' her. So far, so good. I could not have been happier! James & Randi were very comfortable and started playing with her son right away. Her apartment was spotless, she only had 3 children in her care today, and she is only 2 buildings over from ours, which means I can just walk Randi over before we leave for school. The best part is, she is CHEAP, and takes payment by the hour. So, we would not have to pay for hours that we did not use, and we could take Randi only when we needed to. We would also have the benefit of being able to drop in and check on her unannounced whenever we wanted.
JJ is going to walk over Monday morning and meet her too before we make a decision. I have a very good feeling about this, but I am still requesting that you keep us in your prayers. This has so many benefits for us if this works out!
