Super Nanny - NOT!

I interviewed a nanny this month. Let’s just say that the minute she entered our home, the smell of smoke permeated the air. Not exactly Mary Poppins! Call me picky, but I don’t like the idea of exposing the kids to second hand smoke if I don’t have too. We hired a housekeeper instead. She starts next week. As for the nanny, I think I’ll suck it up until next fall and then place Thing 2 in a preschool program 2-3 half days per week and we will be using the daughter of one of The Cat's co-workers (a mature 17 year old) to babysit if needed.
