So I’ve done a few blogs with bad stuff, finally some good.
About a month ago, I was at the salon and a couple came in and chatted it up, while their daughter was getting her hair done. The wife and I started to talk a little bit and she referred me to a home day care. Now I loved my daughter’s current day care, but the tuition was killing me. Even though she was learning, spanish and sign language. And they had a variety of computer programs, I just couldn’t afford the $660 a month.
So, I called the lady they referred me to, come to find out that the number was no longer in service. I called the couple, left a message that the number I had didn’t work and did they have another number. They never called me back.
About a week after that I finally decided to try and look her up myself. I found a new number for her, called her and found that she had just filled her last opening. I was devastated!!! But smart enough to leave my number if any thing becomes available.
Low and behold two weeks later, this past Tuesday, she called me and said that she had an opening and my daughter could start the next day.
I was so happy, and it came right on time too. After all the drama this week, I needed good news!!!
The drag is she will start a new daycare Monday. Although, she was brought up in a home daycare back home, she’s been in a daycare center for the last 4 months, and I hope it isn’t a hard transition for her. She claims to understand and asks me everyday if today is the day she’s going to the new daycare, but it still can be a tough transition.
What I like about the home daycare, besides the tuition, is that its two brown women working there. All the kids are brown too. They still have a curriculum and since it’s just a few kids at the learning stage, she can work a little more intimately with my baby.
The other good news is on Wednesday, I got the pre-approval to have the weight loss surgery. However, because of my insurance, they are requiring that I maintain a six month diet, have a sleep study (which I’ve already had once before and am not looking forward to again) and a psych evaluation.
So that’s exciting. Unfortunately I won’t be able to have it until July or August, but it will be well worth it. I will be able to start my 32nd year off with a bang.
Oh and I guess this falls under the good things category; I also made my consultation appt for my breast reduction. So I’m excited about that too, cause my shoulders and back are killing me. And oh to fit in a regular top… Wow! What a dream.
