When it rains, it pours...

Yesterday I was going to write about finally having to lay off my assistant because my numbers are so low.  All summer I've been hoping to sign new clients to make up for the three I'm losing to school this month, but although I've had a steady stream of interviews, nothing seemed to click.

Then last night I had an interview that went very well.  (Although those can be deceiving, and I never count on anything until the contract has been signed.)  After that an appointment to sign a contract for a girl that will be full-time.  Then, on my way to dinner with my husband, my sister-in-law called me needing daycare for her two kids... starting today.  I guess my helper will be keeping her job after all!

On a side note, my niece is four and my nephew is 19 months.  They have been home with dad for the last year or so, and I was worried about how my nephew would respond.  He didn't seem to mind daddy leaving, but when the next dad came in to drop off, there were tears and that got him started crying.

Immediately his big sister ran over to him, gave him a big hug, and patted him on the back saying "there, there, A, I'm right here.  I'm not going anywhere.  I've got you."   It was the cutest thing, and so grown up sounding!
