fleaIt began in gronk, mostly leftover from Thursday night's bad sleep by the children. But then, with my encouragement and the help of diagrams on the internet, mr. flea took apart the washer and fixed it! It had just popped or wiggled off a hose in the inside. He decided that as his reward he wanted to go to a restaurant we'd never been to, called Honey's. It is basically a non-chain Denny's, with a hostess who looked like Charo and waitresses with strong accents who coo over the babies. Also, in terms of patrons, probably the most racially integrated restaurant I've eaten at in town. Food was only so-so, though.
A friend had dropped off a free, very used but fine condition double jogging stroller - YAY! So after some lassitude we decided to go for a walk, and instead of just doing the local loop we walked to Casper's day care, to see how practical it would be to walk her to and from school instead of driving. It's about a mile away i think, and used to take me about 25 minutes when I was picking up Casper after work. So mr. flea and I have devised a sort of competition, to encourage us both to do one walk a day - he'll do the AM and I'll do the PM, which should work fine in our current work schedules. This will get us energy and exercise and good stuff like that, and save the short trip of the car, go environment!
I've had one email from my child care ad, but it seems like a good possibility (woman who does breastfeeding education, has 4 school-age kids) even if the woman is not the world's most eloquent emailer. Need to call her this weekend. Also have been talking with a woman with a 4 month old who is interested in sharing 3 days a week on our schedule; we're working together to look for people. So it's a start, some leads. And we have neighbor E for the next 2 weeks.
