I spend a lot of my time planning my music schedule for the year. We have a number of smaller venues and festivals nearby which don't break the bank. I would rather spend $100 on a concert than on going out to dinner.
If you are paying 15$ per hour then you better have a job which pays a significant amount more in order to make it work. Most childcare workers are taking care of more than one child, and they are not making 3-4 times that, so a lot must go to overhead. My daughter is looking for childcare as well, and there are many women who have quit their jobs after having a child and are taking extra kids in their homes as going back to work is cost prohibitive. It does not seem like much of a bargain to me.
Thanks for reminding me why we don't undertake major renovation projects. We have done minor things around the house to update, and I finally gave in on the countertops ( I used to regularly set my coffee cup down on the counter and prove that it was, in fact, working just fine as is!). Good luck with the rest of the project and I pray that sanity remains intact- more power to you.
