At my semi-annual VA appointment last week, I told the doc that my family doctor had increased my dosage of Prozac. I only told him because I can get the Rx from the VA cheaper than thru my own insurance. Doc dutifully changed my Rx and I received the pills in the mail yesterday. I had a message on the answering machine Friday from the VA wanting me to call them in follow up to my recent appointment. So I finally called today. All this because my Prozac was increased! They want me to do a 15 minute phone questionaire to track my progress with the Happy Pills, see how I do on the increase, and make sure I'm okay. OI!
So the 'me & my big mouth' part is because I answered all the questions honestly. Honest to a fault - that's what Steve says about me. I admitted that I'd had suicidal thoughts within the past year, but I really feel that they were chemically induced from infertility treatments. Among a host of other admissions, this one raises a flag. Now I have to talk to a VA counselor on the phone! Shit shit shit. I really don't feel like getting into the whole infertility issue with some stranger from the VA! Maybe I'll just say that when he/she calls.
MIL pissed me off right & good this morning. She's still going on about Stef being bored and needing some playmates her own age. I agree to an extent. So MIL says she's been calling around to daycares for prices, etc. She's thinking a few hours a day for 2 days a week. Well SURPRISE! Daycares don't usually offer such limited hours. The one church daycare she checked with offers part time care - 3 full days/wk - $80/day! I agree that Stef should be able to play with other kids, but what's wrong with taking her to the playground? Why does it have to be a daycare? Not that I have anything against daycares or anything. It's just the way she presents these things to me and once she gets on something, she's like a pitbull and won't let it go. It really bugs me that she's already been making phone calls. I'm thinking there's got to be some mommy & me playgroups around here somewhere! Time for me to do some research.

Look for story time at the Library, Mommy & Me, maybe a gymnastics or dance class, swimming, playground
I can't believe your MIL called for you...I'd be a little more than upset. But, you just reminded me. We are going to repeat the class at the Y that we did last year.
I would second any of Linda's suggestions and say check out a nice church in your area. The church that runs Lexi's school has a preschool/daycare where you can choose anywhere from 3 hours two days a week to full time every day.
Like Mere said, a lot of churches have drop in centers where it's like $3 an hour etc in our area. Another suggestion is church on sunday if you don't already attend. Our kids have a great time at sunday school and really look forward to it.
