no wonder this state's population is dwindling

it costs too darn much to live here. our local newspaper is doing a series on the obscene state of affairs in the day care system. not surprisingly, massachusetts is THE most expensive state in the nation when it comes to day care. for monday through friday 9-5 care the local average is $15,821 annually for an infant, with the lowest they found being $11,700 and the highest $18,929. i feel so lucky that we found our day care. quentin loves it and it's a much more reasonable price!!
