Because while you're dreaming of some vacuous starlet you're never going to meet and would have you arrested for stalking if you did (meet her), you're going to miss out on the Carl's Jr. counter chick who's wearing a cherry red and cherry bomb push up under that fugly brown shirt they make her wear.
Seriously. She was changing in her car; we had stopped on our cross country run to get some breakfast. I did a double take. It was real. And very nice. I told my wife I had a new favorite place to eat and why. She cracked up.
That, my friends, is an awesome spouse.

Check the weather/pollen alerts for your area. That may tell you something.

I think you've only touched on 2 of the 3 root causes. You cannot underplay the deliberate flooding of of the region with cheap beer. Combined with co-opted law enforcement leaning heavily on independent manufacturers of the alcoholic beverage (moonshine) which provided one of the few economic opportunities for a semi-educated population and was a key component in religious ceremonies (cross burning, wife beating), this troika was devastating.
While they experienced a brief cultural renaissance during the "Springer Era", the future holds little promise despite the relative success of "My Redneck Wedding".
Subby, you can go back inside now. The tattoo didn't match.

Dear friend of mine has a 9 (soon to be 10) year old daughter who I adore. I've been to every one of her birthday parties, plus numerous weekend visits and Disneyland jaunts together. Now in 5th grade, she's growing up so damn fast. I haven't seen her since early summer, and with her 10th B-day coming up, I was a bit concerned she may have changed a lot in this time. I talked with her mother today and here was the report: " No, she's still a tomboy and doesn't care a lick about hygiene." Whew.

Our daughter started daycare 2 weeks ago after my wife spent 6 months searching for the right place. Last night the owner called us and told us she is closing. Today. Done. No more daycare. Hoping my 3 year old lab is up for looking after my 3 month old baby.

Oh crap, that sucks. Good luck turning it around. Hopefully #2 on your wife's list is available.

My mother worked at a daycare for our church. They recently closed the doors. Both my mother and father are out of work.

Have you considered a nanny or nanny share until you find another place? It is more expensive, but it may be an option in the short term.

I feel blessed that we are able to have my wife at home rather than out in the workforce. The stresses and schedules are extremely challenging, especially before school-age. Hopefully you have a network to help you get through the transition. Maybe some alternation of sick days with other parents from the daycare?

Ugh. That really sucks. We may be in the same situation in a couple months as our daycare is dropping its partnership with the Y. If they can't find a partner, it may be done.

Hope you're situation turns out well.

Found a decent sample from Good Dog, Carl. The mom always leaves the baby with the dog. They have an adventure, and get everything back to normal by the last page.
