I sent out new handbooks and contracts that will go into effect on April 1. I got 2 of the 3 families back today. I told them to put down the time they would be here everyday and the time they would be picking up. BOTH families wrote down my open and close time. Neither of them show up at those times, so why the heck are you putting it as a contracted time. One gets here at 8, not 7 and the other was suppose to be 845 before, but has been here anywhere from 830-1000 in the last few months. That is one reason I told them to put the time they would be here,so I know when to expect them.....aaaahhhh. I guess I will be handing it back to them next week and asking if they are really going to be dropping off at 7, if not, then please change the contract or after 715 if you haven't called to tell me your running late, I'll consider your children absent.

No DCM, Tylonol does not cure the illness behind the fever. I used to think you were kidding so you could drop off your baby. I now realize that you really do believe that.

I have been suprised that I seem to be in the minoity among those around me. My stepson was constantly given cold medicine to "cure" his colds.

Which part of KEEP YOUR SICK KIDS HOME do you people not understand.

NO your child(ren) did not get sick from *me* because like I explained I have actual seasonal allergies....as apposed to the "oh my seemingly sick child only has allergies" bs I hear.

Come pick up your sick kids asap...all of you bad parents (YA! I called you BAD parents) who dropped your dopped kids off this morning should be ashamed of yourselves!

After telling you my daughter has been battling pnumonia for months now with batch after batch of antibiotics and you STILL dope up your kids and drop them off?!!?

BOO!!!

I am putting up a sign reminding everyone to pick up ON TIME today - BY 4:45 - as we have evening plans. I have no idea why people think Friday is the day to be a couple minutes "late" or wait until the last minute for pick up and I am somewhat annoyed that I feel I have to put up a sign to be sure. No one is ever "late fee" late (after 5:00) but on a Friday afternoon even a 4:46 pick up is annoying.

Well looks like my new enrollment changed her mind. I really hope she doesn't show up in a few days thinking I saved the spot with no payment. On to more interviews.....

All my kids are gone at 4pm except for one that will be here until 5:29. *sigh* Even my kids are gone out. I would have loved 1.5 hours to myself.

Can I please go back to bed?

Can I please rewind and start today over again?

I can't seem to get anything done lately. My son is SO TODDLER and gets into everything, I have a 10 month old dcb who is into everything, I'm tired, I rarely get to shower, DH is working 12 hour days so I'm solo parenting pretty much all week long, I never get time to myself, and now naps went crappy today and I didn't get lunch and I am so behind on laundry and cleaning...DH won't help in the evenings, because he "worked all day" and "is tired" and "well, you always say that once the kids are in bed the work can all wait!" and other lame excuses.

And I'm hormonal (thanks, PMS), and anxious about nothing/everything, and spring can't come soon enough, and I'm tired of talking to the collectors for one particular debt (which company REFUSES to work with us to solve the problem) and i have an overtired 21 month old who didn't nap because he needed to poop (which he didn't do until after I got him up, then he shoved his whole ARM down his diaper and got poop halfway up to his elbow), and did I mention I'm hormonal?

All day long, my crier went on and on. The crying didnt bother me as the reasons for crying.

Episode #1-morning snack of toast and jelly. DCB falls on the floor crying because the cook put the bowl of jelly at his table near his spot.

Episode #2-playing card matching game. DCB stood in the floor crying because he didnt know what card to start with.

Episode #3-morning outside time. DCB running around the playground crying and screaming. Thinking he was hurt, we ran to get him. When we finally got him to calm down, we checked him over. Nothing physically wrong. The reason for crying-the other kids were running past him.

There are many many many more. This is an every day thing. Is it wrong to begin the countdown to kindergarten.

Goodness! I think I have his twin! He can be very sweet but the crying and whining over ever slight (real and imagined) is so exhausting!

Thanks DH for tracking mud across the whole house from your work boots that I've repeatedly asked to not be worn in the house!!!

Oh and of course rather than cleaning it up yourself you get snotty with me because I didn't make you a lunch, sorry I was busy scrubbing the carpet.

Guess someone's never getting a lunch made again. It was something nice I did occasionally but that's done!

Oh and you're on your own for dinner too!


And to top today off, one DCK showed up 2 hours early (7:45 instead of 9:45) and one DCK that is scheduled for 7:15 is (as of 8:30) still a no show! I made breakfast for this DCK too (the one that arrived earlier can't eat it because it's got eggs, no dairy for her )

No its not wrong! Is the child four?

I've been counting down since mine was 2 and we are now at three! The behaviors get worse and worse. I was sure after 3 years of routine they would get better.

He will be 5 next month. His meltdowns are so bad and often that the other kids all point to the relax center when he gets started.

Do you have to cry everyday all day?

I sliced off a good portion of my finger last night OUCH! Just bumped it trying to change a diaper OUCH! Going to be a long day, it's throbbing so bad

[mema]

Happy hump day! I will have a headache by the end of the day because I'm going to be doing this alllllll day....

Okay dcd, you are brand new to my program so obviously I just went over my policies with you. No, you cannot "break up" your week of free care into random days. It needs to be consecutive and I need a two Weeks notice. Just like I told your wife when she asked.

You're lucky to get that. A lot of places don't give a free week a year at all.
