Thanks so much everyone. I appreciate the kind words.
It's just kind of crazy that a year ago when we hired her that D was a tiny baby and the nanny's family was fine. So much cool stuff and heartbreak can happen in such a short time. She also has a 4 year old brother that her parents adopted. They HAVE to get healthy...can you imagine?
Someone asked about MIL...DH has been outsourcing his day he promised out to her and its been a major conflict. The compensation demands, the meddling, all the weirdness came hurtling back in just as I warned him it would. It's just caused so much damage.
Oh hun I am so sorry. I look at you and how awesome of a mother you are and how much you rock at your job and I don't know how you do it. I swear you are the real superwoman. It is ok that you are feeling stressed and overwhelmed and frustrated- anyone would in your position. Just do the best you can with work and concentrate on your family. D will be just fine at school and I am sure something will work itself out. It always does. ((Hugs))

Since I can't offer any solutions, I will offer my support and condolences instead. I am so sorry that you're having to deal with these things individually, but to have them lumped altogether like this is overwhelming. Please know how much you're admired for your strength here. Any of these things is enough to knock me off my horse, but you're trying to find a way to muddle through them all. If crying helps you do that, go ahead and cry the river Nile. Discuss/complain/vent here ALL you need to, that's what we're here for. Lots of love and hugs and positive vibes for an upswing on all of this. Love you.

Sweet baby Jesus, this fucking sucks for you. I really feel for your nanny, I can't imagine the stress she is under too. I hope things ease up at work. You know I'm here for you if you want to talk more. Hugs (the kind where I crouch down so you don't get a face full of bosom).
Oh geez Dahli. Giant hugs and many drinks for you I'm so sorry. I wish I could come watch D for you and brush your hair. . I hope things start looking up really soon.
I am sooooo sorry, Dahli. I would cry non stop too, that is a lot to deal with right now and I am sorry for all involved. Being a working parent is hard as it is, but when crap like this pops out of no where, it just makes it that much harder. D will do soo well at school and will have such an amazing time with her new friends.
It will work out, it will work out, it will work out (heart)
