If people wearing full protective gear are getting it,
I heard that some of the medical staff did not have full and the right protective gear to wear nor were they properly trained in treating people who may / are infected . This if from a employee at the Texas hospital .- Flag

OT - EBOLA
I am DISGUSTED by the handling of Ebloa in this country right now. Especially the way the hospital in Texas completely botched their care of the patient who died. I just heard that the one nurse who has come down with Ebola ASKED the CDC about traveling after exposure and was given the go ahead...
It's also seeming like it's much easier to contract the virus than someone is letting on...If people wearing full protective gear are getting it, what hope do the rest of us have?!
I'm not a usually a conspiracy theorist but it's almost like they WANT it to spread- Flag

Oh the defiance and sassy-ness of DCG lately! For example, I called her over so I could help her wipe her nose today. First she just kept walking away from me, and when I called her again, she turned around with her hands on her hips, and said, "Not right now. You have to wait a minute."Needless to say, I did not wait a minute.

Tuesdays are always worse than Mondays, behavior wise. I just can't figure it out.- Flag

Today I had a child come in the door and immediately start freaking out because she wanted to wear her shoes all day. I looked at her and said "I'm sorry dear but we do not wear shoes in the daycare home." Her mom looks at her daughter and completely undermines me saying, "You're okay hun we just bought these shoes, they're not dirty."
I honestly could not believe my ears. I stood my ground and said "I'm sorry but it's a rule at daycare. No shoes on my carpet." Her mom gave me a dirty look and left. How rude is that? UGH. Vent over.- Flag

I started Scholastic this month. Last month I discussed it with all of the parents and they were SOOOOOOO excited so I took the plunge and set it up. Another provider here was SOOOOOO excited about it too since she didn't want to do it on her own so her and her daycare kids are on the same order as my daycare kids.
I sent out the first flyer a week ago today. Everybody was excited and happyface about it.
It's due in 2 days. ONE parent has ordered. I'm kind of annoyed. This took some work to set up-not a lot of work mind you but it took time that could've been spent elsewhere. I handed out 12 flyers...and ONE order.
Really????
I plug the books we are reading on our facebook page (rotated out monthly). The parents love to see their kids in videos 'reading' them, or repeating the phrases while I read. The kids are allowed to borrow one book/week to take home. I post my giant (and cheap) order on Facebook monthly. Parents almost always order the $1 books, and I started keeping a few of the kids favorites by the front door for parents to purchase from me. It's like a check out line purchase, "Oh you can just add it to your check!" as the kid's jumping up and down with the book.
Shameless, I know. But anything to promote early literacy skills, right???!- Flag

When I first started Scholastic I would have $25-30 in orders each month. Then those families aged out and no one seemed to order. I was going to try to bring it back but I think I'll have maybe one family order anything.- Flag

Parent to me on interview call: "I want two days a week, and those days will rotate each week. I also want my ds in a learning environment since he is now 18 months."
Seriously? Am I supposed to teach him everything on a rotating 2 days per weeks???- Flag

I really, really do not like a dcm I have now. The only reason I do not term her is bc I always end up with a crazy dcm in the mix. There is always one. She is making it so hard to work every day. She is putting me in a bad mood every day.- Flag

I love Scholastic. I only send out order forms during the school year from ages 2-5. This is the only way we get new books and the parents know this. So every month I have at least 2 orders. I let the points grow and at the beginning of summer I have enough to get books for each class. I'm a ****er for the floor puzzles.- Flag

Ughhhhhh. My assistant tested positive for strep throat. She only comes Tuesday and Thursday for a few hours, or if I have an appointment to go to, but this totally ****s!
I'm on my own all week since assistant is leaving for vacation this Thursday. *sob* Send a search party if you don't hear from me.- Flag

I know right? I'm excited. Though my bookshelf recently broke sooo I may need to lay off the book buying for a bit until I get a stronger one.- Flag

My parents thought it was great, too. No one ever orders. I still order stuff for my kids all the time, and every once in a while, I order one for DCK's, too. I just can't believe that no one else is so excited about the cheap books!- Flag
