We've decided (ok really I decided and Russ has to agree and support me) to send Daegan to the homecare lady. Monday I was late getting out of work, thankfully Russ picked him up before "time was up" but I didn't know til after I had freaked out the entire time I had to stay late.....then I also got a message that he had a fever, so I knew Tuesday was going to be out. I ended up going to the clinic to finish a few things in the AM and my boss says "oh we'll have receptionist watch Daegan so can you stay and do this long surgery for me?" He doesn't do surgery anymore...but his son is there.....but I guess he sometimes prefers me. Cool but kinda weird that he was soooo willing to have one of his other staff be inconvenienced by caring for my kid (not sick by the way). Anyway, I stayed and did the surgery and he spent all his free time playing with Daegan instead of solitaire. No one else would've gotten away with bringing their kid to work and I've done it 3 times now. Of course everyone says he's great so I don't feel too terribly bad about it....it just seems way unprofessional to me. But I guess if the boss doesn't care.....


Eventhough I think this new room is GREAT for Daegan, I can't predict what will happen when they change rooms in Aug....are they going to move him with the kids and we have a new teacher? Are they going to keep him with the current teachers and we get a new crop of kids (or the old crop?) I just can't worry anymore about this. The homecare lady, while there are drawbacks (vacations, insurance, etc) I need more consistency in his care to make my heart rest better. She doesn't have any vacations planned and she promised to give me as much notice as possible. We'll figure it out.

Baby belly is getting bigger....and I'm gaining a bit faster now. I can't wait for the ultrasound in a couple of weeks!!!

I *think* the clinic is listing an AD online today. We desperately need help (5-6 people at my last count - they tried to tell me 3 yesterday HA! - that's just to replace what is gone now....not the 2-3 they are trying to cut loose). After I reminded them of that fact, the cheap boss is now considering an online AND a newspaper ad. It'll be way easier to train a group of people at once, then one every other week. Silly non business people!

Anyway, off to ready myself for work. Oh and yes the surgery went well...prognosis may be bad, but we'll wait for the path report.
