Thinking ahead to summer, I am needing to figure out what to do for child care for my kids now that I am working.  I’m not quite sure how this will all work out, but it’s January, so if I start planning now, hopefully it will be covered.  In the past I’ve paid $35/day for a sitter to come and watch the kids in my home… from when the rooster crows at 7:30am until Mike gets home from work at 4pm.  That’s a really long day, and honestly not that much pay in my opinion, but for a 13 yr. old, maybe it is better than nothing.

Possibilities include my mom coming for bits of time, for the kids to go stay at Rolf & Eve’s for bits of time, and or for Mike to go to swing shift for the summer months.

Wondering how this will work… have never had to consider this in the past.
