It turns out the business was busier than I wanted to believe and I'm recently found myself without my ever so reliable, superhero, babysitter. I posted want ads and looked up preschools and finally found my child care answer.
It's a program locally called PDO or "Parent's Day Out". It mostly caters to the stay at home mom that needs time here and there to take care of errands or part-time work. In my situation there couldn't be a better solution! I have both the kids attending now on Tuesdays and Thursdays for four hours a day.
Certainly, this gives me a good amount of time to work hard on my job, but also gives the kids a bit of time to hang out with other kids their age. This probably is more important to Claire than Sammy, but it's the most important for me.
Giving me this break to do my job well is the best gift I could have given myself. I still have the kids nearly full time at home and I couldn't be happier with the help I get when they are away.
I guess I was unfair when I thought about daycares in the past, but there isn't anything better (at least for me). I guess I shouldn't be so quick to judge when I hear about what other parents are doing with their kids. Experience is the only way to know if any particular situation is going to work out for you and your children. I've learned this is a good one.
