I got notice from a family on the weekend that they will be done at the end of this month. It's not completely unexpected. I am pregnant, due in September and taking that month off. I expected to lose a family or two, since a month is a long time to find care. Funny enough, I didn't think it would be this one!
So, since they have 2 kids here right now, and I only have one other at the moment, I have effectively lost 2/3rds of my income in August. There is no way I will be able to fill those 2 spots for one month, before I shut down for a month. Booooo.
I am irked at the situation, because it kind of leaves me hanging. But I can't be cross with them, because they gave me the proper notice. And from their standpoint, I don't blame them for wanting to get the kids settled in a new arrangement before the oldest starts school in September. I guess I just figured that if they were leaving, they would finish out the summer.
Sigh.... thanks for listening to my vent, ladies!! I suppose on the plus side, it will make for an easier last month before the baby arrives, when I will be roughly the size of a planet and have the energy of a tree sloth, lol!!!
