Nothing specific but just a general feeling of ugh. I don't want to do this week anymore.

I'm happy and sad today.
DH is getting a promotion at work. While that itself is great and comes with an awesome pay increase, it means he's going to be traveling a lot.
About half the year.
And although that means I can stop doing DC if I want, I still need a PT job and I just turned down one last week that would've been perfect (hours fit into the kid's school schedule and mostly work from home).
Damn it.
Now, I'm looking at the winter months ahead knowing I'm going to have to get up at the butt crack of dawn to snow plow for DC because DH won't be home. I hate snow plowing. :dislike:Comment

I have this 3.5yo dcb. He seems to speak so well but his receptive language is almost nonexistent. He knows a lot of vocabulary and facts but couldn't even put on crocs until a few months ago. He can't drink out of a cup without spilling, hold a pencil or scissors correctly no matter how much we work on it. There's something about his small muscle skills and bidirectional skills that's really more like what I see with 18 month olds. He's been with me since he was about a year old (only part time though) but the children he's grown up with are so much more capable of every task. I know his mom flashcarded him a lot and was always teaching him. I'm not sure if not playing enough/being flashcarded caused this or if something else is going on.Comment

I'm getting so stressed about one child's behavior needing constant monitoring. I recognize that most of it is me though. I'm new to the preschool age and while I'm aware its a transition age where they start learning more group and power play, it still stresses me out. I've worked infant-3 and K-4th, and it is a very different dynamic that I pray to god I get used to soon. If anyone knows where I can buy a chill pill to destress and stop worrying about the possibility of a paper cut, that would be great!Comment

OMG... I'm about to lose it
Not only did I have to give notice to 2 families ( they had technically aged out, but was trying to hold out until Thanksgiving), anyway... # 3 family; child ages out in March, I have now given notice because of a parents reckless behavior in a privately owned community; dad has been warned about speeding before, but yesterday he blew a stop sign too & almost injured a good friend of mine (caught on video camera).
Mobile home management contacted me and thanks to kids leaving early today, I had a chance to go and review the film. OMG, dad has been warned a few times, but this takes the cake... I will not lose my home (owned but on rental property) or business because he doesn't want to pay late pick up fees (late fees charged at least once a month). He doesn't get that the community can give me 30 day notice to move my home off their land. Worse yet, one of the new moms coming onboard in FEB is the secretary for my Home/Car/Liability ins guy. Send some good thoughts because I only have one months lot rent put back & am looking at 3 months of almost no income ( new families start in February)Comment

What in the world is going on this week?! These kids are a mess behavior wise. Glad it's Friday but today will be my most challenging group yet. Ugh! Of course I'm soloing until lunch because there's not enough kids to warrent having my assistant come in this morning.Comment

Ugh!!!!! New brother of a dcb started today. Only 2 days a week, thank goodness! I have 2 young babies on those days.
Dcm drops off during breakfast, telling me infant may be hungry because she didn't get to finish feeding him. Hands me Zarbees natural cold meds for big brother, gripe water for baby, FROZEN breast milk for a baby wanting food NOW, and acts like it's no big deal
Oh yeah, infant hasn't had a bm since Friday.

Listening to "I don't wanna go to bed" at various decibals complete with a flailing tantrum and screaming for the last 40 minutes is working my nerves right now.
You're 4. You need a nap. Shut up and go to sleep.
Fwiw all of my other dck's are completely ignoring him and drifting off to sleep while he carries on. Wish I could seperate him so they didn't have to listen to him but I have nowhere to put him.Comment

Naked screaming. Among consenting adults, that's known as "sexytime." Among non-consenting adults, that's known as "enhanced interrogation."
Around here? It's just a Monday after the day care kids were up too late all weekend.Comment

Parents in denial
I cannot stand when parents make excuses for their child's behavior. "He's a little stubborn". "Maybe his personality clashes with the teacher's". Or maybe his parents do everything for him and constantly give in just make life easier in the moment all the time. That's a better explanation for why he cannot handle frustration, wants to be waited on for simple tasks, has no patience, hits to get toys he wants, thinks he doesn't have to go along with the class, etc than "he's stubborn".Comment

Get interested clients. Have great conversations. Meet up. Everything goes peachy. POOF! Gone....
AND REPEAT....
This has happened 4 time so far.
- Realtor loved me, even set a day to start all excited, POOF! Cancels last minute, hasn't reached out since.
- A family on Care meets me, loves me, says we will get together to get more acclimated, POOF! Silence.
- Two ladies via FB groups, really interested for date night use, have great convos/exchange numbers....POOF! Silence.
Sadly, I'm taking it personally and, being someone who constantly seeks to improves themselves (with never-ending unattainable standards), I go mental thinking its something wrong with me.
Why can't people just be honest and upfront. I hate games.
