Daycare...

So, we ended up putting the kids in daycare. We just haven't had much luck keeping a sitter this semester, and I always feel like I have to rush right home to relieve the sitter after class. No rushing with daycare, and if we end up needing a few hours to do homework or whatever, we can just drop them off for a bit... *shifty eyes looking out for the parenting police ;)*

It's actually about a quarter of the cost that I thought it would be! That's definitely another plus. Lucas has done well with it these last two days. He cries for a bit when we leave, but they say he does great after a minute or two. Via won't eat much for them, but she tends to be less hungry in the afternoon (when they're there). They go for about 3-4 hours 3 times a week, and I gotta say, just the last few days have been soooo much less stressful! It's amazing what I can get done just in an hour without a little man climbing on me, playing with my laptop, kicking his sister in the head...

I've definitely decided that trying to clean up while Lucas is home and awake is like pouring water in a bucket with a hole in it. It just doesn't stay clean for more than a minute. Literally. And I now have to vacuum with my glasses on or else I can't see all the crumbs he left on the floor. I know I'm not very old at all, but that is definitely a sign of getting older. I don't think I like it.

Anyway, I have three tests to take tomorrow and some studying left (and some cookies to be eaten), so goodnight!
