Just when the price of gas finally dips below $3 at Costco I get word from our daycare provider that she has to raise our weekly rates. Apparently the joint she uses is doing some renovations to the building and she fears that they’ll raise her rent to help cover the costs.
It’s only a $100 raise per month but we can barely afford daycare as it is, so that $100 will be greatly missed. But I totally understand her reasons for raising the price – we know she provides cheap daycare compared to other facilities I checked into when I was pregnant with CootieGirl, so I’m certainly not going to look that gift horse in the mouth.
