So apparently to get into the best day cares you have to a a super hero with advanced precognition power. Maybe if my midichlorians were a bit higher, I could just use my jedi mastery of the force to see into the future. If I was cool like that, I could have known over three years ago that in February of 2010 I would have a baby… and then MAYBE my little jedi offspring could have a spot in the best day care.
But instead I suck at seeing into the future and I didn’t know I would be giving birth in February until the pregnancy test told me so. Thus, I am demoted to the non-super hero waiting list of day cares.
I must admit I have heard of ridiculous waiting list for chid care before, but I always assumed it was in the big cities. Those fancy urbanites must have to deal with waiting lists, but surely I wouldn’t have to worry about waiting lists. ha!
The good news is that I found a day care I really feel happy with that has a spot available in August of 2010 for sure. So I put down my registration money, and I’m keeping my fingers crossed all the other parent’s on the list win the lottery and decide to stay home with their child. Wait a minute, maybe I should hope that for myself (or my husband actually). The day care I selected also has 2 sister schools, one of which has an opening when I need it. But the evil lord from the sister school doesn’t want to give me the spot. This evil lord happens to lives 3 houses down from me… I think some immature egging and dirty diapers at front door are in order. What do you think?
I have 6 months to pass after birth before my guaranteed spot. I figure 2 months will be maternity leave. Then I am not sure, but we’ll figure something out.
