butterflydawn I was in my 40's when I first started going for a Mammogram. While it's something I'd rather forget about, I do go for it especially since my mom had breast cancer and I have several friends who have had breast cancer and had to go through a radical masectomy....

butterflydawn You are most fortunate to get paid for the week even if the children aren't there. I did home daycare for years. People would only pay me for the days I had their children. Even if they were late, I often didn't get anything extra to cover my time, yet the...
