I have a nanny who started with us 2 months ago. She’s on a casual basis so I just pay her whenever I need her (35-40hours/week) and she will likely stop nannying for us in a few months when she’s done with school.

Monday and not even noon and I am so exhausted I just want to lie down. Toddler woke me up at two am and I basically couldn’t fall back asleep after that because I was so stressed about the week. MDP came back from a week of vacation and had a bunch of things he didn’t like and chewed me out about this morning. I just feel super over it all. Hard to imagine continuing in this business.

Looking for ideas for a family vacation destination in the US! I have a 2.5 year old and a 2 month old. I’d love a place where we could rent an AirBnB in a pretty location and walk to little shops and restaurants. Maybe somewhere near a lake or a cute coastal town?

My agency (not Day One) doesn’t give end of year bonuses. Is this typical? Anyone else experienced this? Feeling a little stiffed. We’ve been WFH all year, don’t get unlimited PTO, no tech or wellness stipend that other agencies offer, etc. (NYC/CA based agency, for context, with 100-200 employees. They had a *very* good year.)

Not accounting related: does anyone here live in Seattle or eastside? Any recommendations for holiday themed restaurants with good food?
