Who wants to babysit on Monday?

[dixienormous]

Our nanny needs to leave early and I can't find anyone who can come stay with PF. 

[starrieskies]

If I was closer, I'd do it in a heartbeat!

Not really helpful, I know. But I hope someone is able to help you out!

[dixienormous]

I might end up taking 1/2 a sick day

[motzie]

Sorry Dixie, I wish I was closer (and unemployed) to help.

[dixienormous]

Eh. S'ok. I can use the afternoon to get stuff put together for Burning Man. It's preferable to being at work at any rate.

[Muddled]

You should move to my neighborhood. Then you wouldn't have these problems.

[dixienormous]

Yeah.... problem with moving back to the City is the whole mess with Services for the kid. Otherwise I'd totally do it. Just for the child care

[partiallysunny]

I don't know about you, but I love random days off anyway. Enjoy it!

[captainmel]

Take the half day off. I would watch her if I was closer!

Nope. She's spending the week with my mom. 

My feeling on my child at Burning Man (and there are parents who make it a family trip) is that she can go when she can 1) get there herself and 2) make appropriate decisions in that sort of environment.

Also - it's hard enough taking care of my own needs while I'm there much less a tiny person who can't communicate.

There is a camp called Kidville that caters to the families that choose to bring their kids. In general people are really respectful of the kids and the like. A couple of years ago there was a group camped next to us with some feral French kids running about like lunatics. Other than that experience I haven't seen anything bad with kids involved. I see this as my vacation alone with H. Which we desperately need.

H and I talked about it once. If we lived in Reno and could do a day trip we might bring her, but not for the week we camp out there. 

I've been monitoring the weather. So far it's looking pretty gorgeous!
