Voluntarily quitting?

MIL told Steve last night that after Stef's swim school is over (in about a month I think) she wants to not have Stef every other Monday. Working and taking care of Stef are just too overwhelming for her. She's tired and depressed and her body hurts. Steve was saying to me that he would be happy to take all her Monday's, Tuesday's, Wednesday's, AND Thursday's away. I'm thinking more along the lines of one day a week at each grandmothers and 3 days a week in daycare. It's barely any difference $ wise between that and fulltime. This would keep both grandmothers from going into total Stef withdrawal and would be good for Stef too. Maybe for now, I will suggest 2 days/wk in daycare, then 3 days after swim school is over. I just have to talk Steve into it.

My mom's bathtub is still leaking. Apparently whoever from CAP installed the pipes in the first place didn't actually line up the drain pipe with the drain hole. They just got it pretty close, but it wasn't grabbing any threads at all. Steve tried a semi-quick fix, but if it's still leaking, he wants to rebuild the whole assembly. Maybe he can do that Saturday while I take Stef to Logan's party. That'll teach him to be a party pooper. In his defense, he's not coming because he's on call and already has a buddy covering for him so he can go to some mandatory Kellogg's training. He didn't really feel comfortable asking the buddy to cover him all afternoon too.

I think daycare would relieve stress all the way around.

SHUT UP! Stef won't be starting school until she's 5. And I'm hoping to have her in full day K at the daycare I'm looking at.
