service. I work at the diner till nine and wanted to know more about those services.”
    “Certainly. There are three classes. The infant and toddlers is from three months to fifteen months. Then we have the fifteen month to three years and finally the three to four year olds class. They are…” the woman’s voice trailed off as she noticed that Josh was trying to get her attention.
    She felt Josh tugging on her hand. Looking down at him, she noticed that he was suddenly doing the peepee dance.
    “Potty, mama,” he said.
    “Ummm.”
    “You can take him in there. It’s great that he’s potty trained. That makes things so much easier.” The woman grinned at her and pointed to a door off to the left of the counter.
    “Thanks,” Sarah said, taking Josh into the little bathroom and helping him. They were exiting the bathroom when he asked, “Play now?” He looked so hopeful that she felt her heart squeeze.
    “No, sweetheart, not yet. We have to talk to the lady first.”
    “Oh, it’s okay, he can play while we talk.”
    “Okay, Josh, you can play,” she told him and he ran off towards the toy cars, sitting next to another boy who offered him a truck. A woman was watching over the kids as they played so Sarah turned her attention back to the blue-eyed woman in front of her.  
    “I’m Nancy, by the way. I run things here. How old is he?” Nancy asked looking at her expectantly.
    “Two. His name’s Josh and I’m Sarah.”
    “Nice to meet you, Sarah. That’s such a good age. Our night services are forty credits a week. Unless you need more than four nights and then it’s five credits each extra night. We are closed on Sundays, but if you need services those nights we have a group of prescreened sitters that work for a fee. You’d work that out with them. We inspect their homes and get references before adding them to the list so you can be assured that they are safe.”
       Damn, Sarah thought, wondering what to do. She’d already spent a hundred credits on their lodgings for two weeks and the groceries. That left her with fifty credits for this week and next. When she got paid she might be able to pay to have them keep Josh but they weren’t going to be able to eat if she paid for it this week.
    She’d have to see if she could find someone cheaper. It was too bad Kara, the stripper she’d had keeping Josh six weeks ago, had left the Weeks End while she was living with Marta. Kara had taken good care of Josh and she’d done it for free.  Josh had loved her and the only complaint that Sarah had was that Kara wasn’t always on time, which had caused problems with Hal at the diner because she’d been late a few times.
    “Okay, well I want to check prices at a few more places. Can I get back to you next week?” Sarah asked, trying not to let her disappointment show on her face.
    “Sure, but we’re the best prices in town. You’re welcome to check around. I make sure we keep the prices low so that working parents can afford to pay the fees.” Nancy gave her a bright smile. Sarah didn’t doubt that she was right. It was just that she couldn’t afford to pay them all her credits. Next week she’d have the funds she would need but she needed to find someone to take care of Josh for the next week.
    “Could I see the list of sitters perhaps. I’d like to see if they are willing to do a one night sitting job,” Sarah asked, hoping someone on the list would be able to keep him for her.
    Nancy’s face fell and she looked pained. “I’m very sorry. I can’t release the list to anyone who isn’t already a client. It’s not fair to the parents who are already with us. If you choose another daycare and still use our sitters, it could cause a conflict. Most of our sitters only take one child or two when they’re siblings and we need them available for our clients. I’m very sorry.”
    “Oh, I understand.” Sarah said feeling her eyes tear up. She smiled with a false brightness she was sure
