"My mom says I'm not supposed to take a nap".

Your mom will be thrilled when she shows up at 5:30 and finds you sleeping on the couch then because you were unable to make it through the day without one. But, at least I followed Mom's orders!

:: that's awesome!

Second "no show" this month! Must be nice to pay last two weeks deposit and walk away from it all!

I just hate the interview process, makes me think I may just keep a low enrollment for the summer!

Daycare baby is on week 2 of teething, and he is the most awful teething ba y have ever cared for. I have to admit, he is no peach when feeling totally well either, but never this bad. Then, to top it off. I accidentally pinched him arm between the highchair and tray while buckling him in for lunch. Needless to say, he was beyon d angry, and I feel awful about the small bruise on his arm. Today can get better any time now!

You two are so helpful! Those are great ideas. She left this evening and don't know when she will be back, but perhaps I will buy one of those things so when she and her tornado of paper clips return I will be ready ::

Or give her the daycare version:

My mom is in town for a few days. She sheds paperclips like an angry cat sheds fur. They are everywhere. I can't pick them up fast enough.

That is all.

Ooh, you need one of these:

My DH redid our roof at daycare a couple years ago. He was afraid he had dropped a few nails and didn't want the DCK's to accidentally find one by stepping on them so he bought one of those and my oldest DCK at the time, probably spent an entire week rolling it around the yard.

He had a blast and he cleaned up too! Win-win! happyface

Tomorrow is Monday and I didn't take Friday off. At least a 3 day weekend next week.

My kids downloaded over 100 worth of games on xbox while at the cottage with the grandparents today! They're non refundable, I'm livid and they will be working their tails off all summer to pay me back-

oh, and NO.XBOX.ALL.SUMMER.

I'm the worst Mom ever.

Ouch, my son did this. BUt he was like 3.5 - so he had an excuse. We locked that thing down after that

I'm probably being a total witch, but I'm super annoyed.
I have been telling DH all week I was going running today. I'm signed up for a half marathon and I *need* to get training. I hear you can't just pull a half out of your a$$.

So what does he do? Makes plans to go golfing this morning and schedules the driveway sealer to come as well as make up lessons for the girls piano/uke. Guess I'm putting off my run, again. Then when I'm witchy this morning he has the nerve to ask if I slept well. I slept fine, you're a big jerk.

And if he thinks this week is going to be me doing all the running while he plays, he's got another thing coming.

All of these posts about SA makes me even more thankful I no longer provide care for them::

[Play Care]

Glad your day improved.

I'm not doing SA care now, either....we are having a wonderful summer! Can't believe the difference it has made.

Right! Younger kiddos are mostly content to play outside, take walks, do some backyard water play, etc.
Once they hit SA, they are "bored" and keep asking to do other things and usually things I can't allow per licensing. I especially won't miss being asked during nap time "when are the kids going to get up?" A thousand times or "when are we going to have snack?" Even though we just finished lunch, etc.

3 more days with my dss. I just want peace and quiet. Granted I have a lot of other things stressing me out as well. It doesn't help.
