Ugg Mrs Drama aka our only babysitter and Mr. Drama have decided to take a last minute vacation. Don't get me wrong they totally deserve it, but who the hell am I going to get to babysit Stella? I'm ashamed to say I have no real back up. For a myriad of reasons of which I'll spare you the details. I've got the weekend covered. But Friday... Friday I got nuthin', nada, zilch in the sitter dept. The Hubby and I have been talking about Daycare. But she's 2 and from what little knowledge I have of Daycare once they reach two they have to be potty trained, right? Is it possible to train her in a day? She is a fast learner ya know... I know I know just give me my moment of delusion please...
Are you ready for the icing on the cake? Just a few days ago my 19 year old co-worker (ugh I'm old) begged me to come in early (we are very short staffed) I laughed and said "do you realize I'm lucky if Mrs Drama pulls into the drive way when I'm supposed to be a work and you want early? Sheyeah right. Uh that would be no." (In reality I was much more polite about it) "Okay it's cool see ya at 2" 10 minutes later. "um hi.. Bernice said she'd be more than happy to babysit your daughter." Bernice? Bernice when-you-add up-all-the-non-work-related-conversations-I've-had- with-her-and-you've-got-oh-5-minutes -of-conversation Bernice? Bernice whom my daughter has never met? Bernice who would most definitely snoop around my house and discover my porn, and other seedy items? (yes there are many, and all will be revealed in time) Sure that sounds swell... are you effin kidding me? I think my actual response was "what?! pfft.. uh.. pfft..uhhh..what?!..pfft noooo"
Best part about it is that later on I was given a hard time about not being welcoming of Bernice's services! Sorry folks I'm not going to apologize for who I allow and don't allow to care for my daughter in my absence. You got a problem with that well there's the door. Don't let it hit you in the ass on the way out. Funny how even after all this time I'm still amazed by how completely daft some people can be.
For now though I've got about 3 asses to kiss fantastic potential babysitters to woo tomorrow. So keep your fingers crossed. Are there any other mama's that have been here? What did you do?

Seriously who wouldn't jump at the chance to take care of sweet baby Stella and snoop around your house - now that we know you have all kinds of fun stuff hidden - LOL!
Hang in there - you'll find the right person and you'll just know. BTW - how is your new job?? Do you miss radio?
I don't blame you at all for not wanting someone you don't know well watching your child. Yikes.
Good luck, hope everything works out!! We working moms have it tough!!
My husband and I are totally the same about babysitters. We have to know them. We're not of the, "well, they're a warm body" philosophy. Hope everything works out.
I am also VERY picky about who I let sit with my kids. I even hate letting my mother do it. Seriously, my own mother. You were right to say no. I would have too.
