Blessings on the Y! I do not know how I could keep my sanity without one of the few affordable childcare options in Silicon Valley. I can exercise, shower and take a sauna for the low, low price of $3.00 per hour, per child. When the husband is out of town for 9 days and the trusted baby-sitter is in Germany for the summer, when baby wakes up before I do and when he naps big sister leaps at the chance for some mommy time, when once both kids are in bed and finally asleep, all I can manage is loading the dishwasher -I need the Y. For a little while, I belong to myself.
