child care is not that difficult to get,again it's $$$??
1. Licensed daycare providers have limits on the number of children they can take. So, it's not *just* $$$.

2. They also need vaccination records and, some, even require physical examinations.

3. There's also the need to, ya know, physically inspect the location.

4. I had no "time off" -- and, even if I had "time off" -- my clients had matters that required me to make court appearances on their behalf out of town. And, I'd already used up my "judge my wife is in the hospital" card earlier in the year when she was, in fact, in the hospital. I know it's hard, but being a lawyer isn't just a "job." I don't have "customers," I have clients. Those clients have their own problems which I've undertaken to represent them on. As a professional, I sometimes have to put THEIR interests above my personal interests. Trust me, I've seen judges remind lawyers of this when setting hearing dates, trial dates, etc.

5. AW's arrest came at the absolute wrong time given the above.
