Thank you all so much for replying!!! And all the helpful advice!! I do get sucked into books. I call it my escape from reality! Granted the only time I can read is bedtime and I stay up until midnight doing it :-/ just finished beautiful disaster...loved it!
All of you that don't have family to help...I am so sorry! I know how hard it is. We live 2 blocks from my husbands mom and she has seriously said we only talk to her when we want a sitter...haven't ASKED her to babysit for 3 years! She volunteers maybe twice a year and it comes with stipulations. The last time she watched them for a NIGHT I got stuck taking care of her dogs for almost a week! The time before that, I got stuck watching her 17 year old son (I stayed home by myself at 17...just sayin) for an entire week while they took a cruise. So it's not even worth it for her to watch her own grand kids.
My step mom will randomly come and pick up my kids. Which is great! But I don't get notice so I'm stuck babysitting still haha
