Bye Deborah...

Deborah has had a back problem for a while (pre-existing condition) and she finally saw a physical therapist who recommended her to not work for 6 weeks. So Deborah was able to convince her insurance company to send her back to France for treatments (and she is not coming back). We got 24 hr notice before she was on a plane back to France, and now we have no nanny :((

Stress stress stress!!!! ...and sad of course... I took a day off work, and brought the baby with me the next day while Anika was in school. Steve is taking next week off work while we look for a new aupair and find a temp nanny until an aupair becomes available.

Fortunately Anika has taken it relatively well, she accepts our explanation of Deborah went on an airplane back to France - she has not asked when she is coming back.
