oh cool ted cruz just said he literally wanted to abolish my job.

omg I hate this man’s face so much it’s not even rational.

Where is this abundance of philosophers?

Seriously, all I could think was:

This is something we were very familiar with, since CT has one of the biggest income inequality gaps in the country. All the programs around here have some “give-back” component. When our local Y offered childcare, (NAEYC accredited, the fee of $2100/month was the lowest of any others 5 years ago,) the program had

OK, since all the others here have most other angles covered... let me just say that my degrees are not in early childhood education. I am a good and caring mother, but I’m not an expert in childhood development. Am I smart enough to read up and learn these things? Sure. Is it a good use of my time in the long term?

And hopefully HOPE will still be around when he goes to college!

I just got the job I’ve wanted for YEARS. I’ve worked my ass off to

From my perspective on your career choice, you go, girl! I had always been the proactive, take-charge, try to get things fixed-type of gal, until I was unexpectedly mangled in a freak accident. As I was being loaded off of the helicopter and wheeled into the ER in a strange city, I had a moment of terrible clarity:
