Potpourri

Health issues aside, I'm gearing up to take on THE NEW JOB. I put off my start date for an extra week to return to my usual state of wellness, and to find a nanny who will not earn more money than I will. I went with the Dr. Phil-approved nannies4hire.com.

Some of the interview questions they suggest:
Do you have any body piercings or tattoos?
Have you ever lived away from home? and my favorite,
Have you ever been treated for mental illness?
