Sorry!!! Mis-information. Yes, vacation for 2 months, but I have it in my head that she's not coming back. The husband actually told me he was excited for them to go, that he was looking forward to some freedom - now I see why. They seem to communicate very well, but I don't think they get along. He was REALLY nice to me, and was constantly undermining her to me - telling me she was rude and confrontational and that she shouldn't have said a lot of the things she said. I really don't think she will be coming back. Especially because she won't have a job.

I feel a lot better about this whole situation now. I am glad I let her go and I was the one to pull the plug. I have a new part timer starting on Monday and an after school kid starting in a few weeks so I'm good

Life really does throw you some curve balls sometimes. I prayed the other night for guidance because I was feeling so low and wasn't sure I could continue. The idea of having to find another full timer was so daunting. But now, I have a little girl coming three days a week, and a 7 year old coming after school. These two amount to the full day fees, however, for two days during the week I only have my son and two other kids. So now, I'm less stressed in the day and we can actually go out and DO stuff!!
