It’s over!

29th August 2007

posted in Child Care |

My long and drawn out search for the world’s perfect nanny is over! Done. Finito. I called her tonight. She was very excited, and it was sweet. While I may not be in love, I’m in deep like, and I think she’ll be the right fit. You can’t hurry love, right?

I’m ready to move on and be my old self again. I take that back - I want to be my YOUNG self again. (I think I’ve aged about 10 years this last week.) But first, a list of thank yous:

Husband- already thanked you
Mom/ MIL - no more stalking, k?
Father - same goes for you
Real-life friends - I owe you a drink
Blog-life friends - Too bad you don’t live near me, or I’d buy you a drink too
Brother’s random friend from law school - thanks for the baby sitting offer!
Seaside nannies - appreciate the gesture - if you weren’t in San Diego I’d be all over it
Day care fanatics - you convinced me, but not my husband

I went with the gut, and I hope it works out. And I’m glad to be able to blog about something else for a change.

The end.

Or is it just the beginning?

I’m so relieved and excited for you! I hope it works out too. Maybe that deep like will turn into love after all!

Oh good! I think that’s the most stressful thing to go through — I really hope it works out well.

Phew! That must feel really great - good for you. And you know, I am not sure it’s a good idea to be in love with your nanny from the start - best ones grew on me:)

Congratulations! I’m sure it’s a big relief! I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you!

PS - how are the rain boots

Congrats! If it wasn’t totally inappropriate you could break out the bubbly with her.

I’d like a cyber margarita on the rocks, please. Oh, and congrats!

Oh, I like this post, especially the thank you list
Funny, I just blogged about “the end” or “the beginning”.
Good luck on the new nanny. I hope it works out well.
