Last night after three very stressful work days, I was wandering around Target half out of my mind, buying all kinds of stuff. Somehow, it seemed like a good idea. Till I saw the receipt. Sorry about your ongoing nanny troubles! Here is another possible source: http://www.mommymixer.com/home.aspx. Apparently they have events in Chicago. Maybe it will be better than the BlogHer "speed dating" event?
