Holy Crap Daycare is Expensive!!!

Today I enrolled the dragon in preschool and the lion baby in daycare at a seemingly good school with monster approved security. I was utterly stunned at the cost! How do single, working moms do it? I only need the babies watched for a few hours on my karate class nights, and it is still shockingly expensive. If my hubby dumps me and I have to go back to work full time I will be utterly screwed. I like the program though, and my dragon will have a lot of fun...she desperately needs the socialization because her dragon ways tend to make her a little feisty. Little lion will have fun too, he can get lots of cuddles and tons of snacks. But the cost!!! Wow!

On a brighter note my godson graduated from high school last night. I am so fiercely proud of him! He is a wild one, just like his mommy, so school has always been a chore for him. I have been best friends with his mother since we were in grade school, and we both cried happy tears when he crossed that stage. I remember when he was born, K and I were so young and so wild. I saw him grow from a tiny baby born to a teenage mommy into a tall and fine young man. I feel so proud and I feel so old! Funny thing though, a guy walked past our chairs during the ceremony with an old school curly mullet (seriously) and both K and I said at the same time, "Hey, didn't you date him back in the day?"
