    ....saw this coming. Thought he'd at least make it to December.
    He didn't even make it to a full year.

    Now I fear who will take his place & I'm disappointed how bad things are turning.

    DCM just posts on FB how much she LOVED spending her time off at home with her kid. The kid who was at my house all but one of those days because Mom couldn't get anything done with all the crying. I didn't have an issue with the child being here, I just had to roll my eyes til they hurt when I saw her gushing about being at home with her!

    FB can be annoying because it is full of words with NO ACTIONS! I saw a saying the other day that said something like "we all know you are not all you POST to be:::::::: So true for some FB users!

    I'm waiting for #3 ... long

    They always say things come in 3's, well last week I asked my PTmom last week if she wanted to take the FT position as someone wanted one & she was the only PTimer to ask... she said no, I contracted FT family and was immediately told to go to HE** by mom & that she was pulling immediately instead of using the 2.5 weeks given her; she said keep the $ (like she had a choice) - most my families pay by the month...

    Had another mom decide to yank her child and up and disappear this week without warning (she recently split from father)... apparently she wasn't paying on the phone & he took it back because she had 3 others he found out. Moms a little out there but told dad on Saturday that if I try to find her and get my 2 week termination that is required she would sue for harassment... little boy wasn't suppose to come Mon or Tue so didn't think anything was wrong until yesterday. She just moved in with her new boyfriend and has been hitting everyone up for money so who knows what the situation is now

    Who wants to guess what # 3 holds?

    My own kids! They have a few chores to do during each day and it's pulling teeth! The whining and fussing over it drives me nuts. And DH is just as bad. On one hand he says he understands I'm working and can't be on them to,get their stuff done. On the other hand he gets annoyed and snippy if I don't do just that.
    My neighbor just graduated high school and she said she was invited to so many parties from her class and it is expected to bring a monetary gift. I can't imagine how much it would cost to go to all that she is invited to. There are over 700 students in her class. Grad parties around here have turned into huge formal events. Parents try to compete for venues and dates.

    Ive been getting them too lately... mine are for my first batch of DCK's. ::

    Some of which I haven't seen since they day they aged out or were termed.

    I sent cards and monetary amounts equal to how quickly I think they would recognize/remember me if I were to run into them in Target etc (with out a parent prompt).

    Really. She thought I was being silly and called her by my dd's name. Nope. I was actually talking to dd, not her.

    And is it possible for an almost 5 yo to lose dexterity in that time? She seems to have forgotten how to hold a crayon and how to make simple circles. It is her weakness, so I have been gently working with her on it. She was making progress, but it's all gone today. Grandparents don't have her draw or color, I guess.

    All toddler classes missed out on two hours of outdoor play today. Before lunch they were ready to climb the walls. I know it'll be too hot this afternoon to try outdoor play.

    Why can't we go outside? There is a huge rat in the outdoor play area and no one has been able to catch/kill it. We can't risk a child getting bit. It keeps zooming around the playground. Ugh....
