    I'm taking the plunge. I can't do it alone anymore. DH works late on Mondays. Soon he'll be unavailable on Wed nights too. I'm talking with a college girl (conveniently her classes are on Tues/Thurs).

    I'll have her come and help me on Mon & Wed from the time they wake from nap till bedtime (2:30-7:30). She'll help with some daily chores (bottles, cleaning highchairs, etc). Help me get them thru the evening routine and baths. And once I get comfortable, I'll actually be able to escape for a couple hours. Granted, it'll probably just be to grocery shop, but still it's a break.

    Also, we'll have her work 1 Sat a month so we can squeeze in a date! *crosses fingers* that this works out! She seems really good with the girls and they seem to be comfortable with her.

    I'm anxious and excited!

    [​IMG] Glad you'll have some help! I was going to have the neighbor girl help me out a little bit, but she was never available! I hope it works out!
