Please keep me and my prospective sitter(s) in your prayers today. I had planned on changing providers for the summer b/c of our current sitter’s physical limitations and I didn’t want my kids being couped up indoors. The gal I TT last month said she had openings for all 3, but when I called today, one of her current clients decided not to cancel for the summer, so she doesn’t have any openings now.

I spoke w/ our neighbor (2 houses down) several months ago and told her that I’d need her for our 3yo and new baby in August and she said okay, but now that she is losing one of her kids for the summer, she needs me start earlier, which means splitting up my kids AND paying for a sitter while I’m on maternity leave.

I’m waiting on a call from a third provider (luckily, just a few blocks from us) who might have a permanent spot this fall for our 3yo, but I have to find out if she can take the baby too and how much she charges. If that pans out, we’ll just stay w/ our current sitter b/c she will negotiate w/ us and doesn’t charge us for the days we don’t use her. I’d like to keep her for next year when I need after school care for my big kids b/c she’ll let me just pay her for those 2 hours.

At the same time, our current sitter has mentioned that her granddaughter is moving to TX and wants her to move down there w/ her. Who knows when that will be and then I’ll be in a quandary to find after school care for my big kids. Maybe I could hire a high schooler. DH CANNOT finish his degree and find a higher paying job soon enough! I just want to be a SAHM!
 
Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death.
Amen.
 
Lord, please hear JLCecilia’s intentions for this matter. Grant her and her family grace to be guided into the correct decisions in accord with the Father’s merciful will. Send angels to help with this cause and lead all involved to heaven, now and forever, through Our Lady’s intercession. Amen.
 
May the Lord bless your family. I pray that the Lord, in His infinite wisdom, provide the solution that is perfect for your family. I pray that he gives you the answer, as well as the wisdom to know that answer. May His will be done in your lives.
 
Thank you for the prayers. Turns out this other person doesn’t take babies, so we will just start our 3yo at the new sitter by himself and the big kids will just have to stay couped up till I have the baby and I can be home w/ them for 6 weeks. At least I’ll save a little not having to pay the sitter for the 2 of them.

Just feeling really downtrodden not being able to keep within our newly trimmed budget (blowing this EVERY week) and all of the ins. renewals and storm damage to our home and cars and medical bills piling up on me. This entire pregnancy I’ve asked myself, “why are still having babies?”

Divine Providence has always seen us through and I’ve witness incredible miracles in our times of greatest need (sometimes just a check from my parents). Just need help remembering to trust in Him.
 
Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me Amen
 
I just said a prayer for you and your intention. May Mother Mary make her intentions in this matter come true.
 
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen!

Please Saint Anthony Full of Grace, could You take JC Cecilia to the right Sitter’s hiding place, I ask this through Thee Dear Jesus Christ our Saviour, Amen.

Our Father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name, Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from all evil, Amen.
 
Thank you for the prayers, I think we have it all squared away. My 3yo will have to split from his brothers and start his new sitter at the beginning of June and then he’ll be joined by his new brother at the end of August. My other 2 will stay on with their present sitter, but they’ll all get a break @ home w/ momma when I take maternity leave.

Please continue to pray for me, I’ve been feeling very defeated by the demands of my vocation. Nothing new, really, just overwhelmed more than usual.

Thank you!
