Oh my credit union was off line all day, so I wasn't able to deposit Dec check. -
First My state pay DCM told me there was an error with the renewal and she was trying to straighten it out. I was not worried because her case was good until April. Then I was notified that I did not get paid for the end of January. That the case was closed as soon as they received her renewal, which she did not mention. She is also under the impression that it is still good until the end of March. I kept a copy of the renewal for my records, I pulled it out to call the state and I noticed an error on my part. I called and they would not let me talk to the case manager but they did take a message to give to her.
The frustrating part is that I had to call and push a bunch of buttons to get to the voice for a callback. Then when they called me back, she told me I called the wrong number. So I called the other number and it transferred me to the first number system but at least when the new person called back she was willing to help me and discuss the issue that I found.
Meanwhile, I have been working with two families to get them started. Family one called me in November while she was looking for work. Family Two is a referral from another DC and called in December. I did not hear from either family again until Jan.
Nov has 2 kids and neither has been in care, they live 30 min away and DCM has a long commute. DCM wanted trial days and came Mon and Tues this week, (we had discussed next week before they start and DCD would bring them). She still owes one set of paperwork for the food program.
Dec did the electronic paperwork but then I did not hear anything. I contacted her to ask if she needed help. She says she is waiting on the paperwork from the doctor. But I told her just to send what she has so I can finish on my end. I still have not heard from her and she has not sent the deposit, so I am considering telling her that the spot is full but decided to sleep on it.
On Wed, I received a text asking if it would be alright to drop off the paperwork on Friday. I said yes that would be fine.
This morning to my surprise it was Dec and not Nov.
I was so shocked and relieved at the same time. When Nov dropped the kids off at the beginning of the week. She would not leave even when other kids were being dropped off.
So currently I am frustrated with the 2 trial days and DCM not leaving after dropping off. Plus the hours she is asking for are longer than I want to deal with 5 days a week.
Then I have been also dealing with DH checks being wrong weekly and the flex spending not being active. I am so over this week.

I saw this video on facebook called "ipad kids" and it's this man who has an opinion about children today and electronic device usage. Teacher's today have such a hard time teaching children because parent's don't help and all they do is sit in front of an electronic device all day every day according to the video and some data it stated that children spend up to 2 hours per day on an electronic device

sahm1225 Yeah I am allergic to dogs and cats too. But when it comes to my own pets, I do not notice it Then when I get around other people's pets, I get all stuffed up. Also when I cut my food allergens out of my diet, I started to feel better and could tell that the foods were causing me headaches and a swollen tongue.
It was funny when they tested me for trees, my arm flared up from the mulberry tree poke. When I was young I used to eat mulberries from my grandma's tree and never reacted. But now I can't be near one.
I totally agree, cutting a mom out would be way harder to do than an older sister. I agree, the weight off my shoulders felt so good. -
Alwaysgreener - I just called to sign up for the shots. I’m allergic to dogs which just seems insane since I have dogs and have never reacted to them. It was a bright red reaction too, crazy right? It just feels like my body is going haywire since the fall and I’m hoping maybe something will knock it back to reality.
The cutting off my mom has been the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. Especially that it took her over a year to notice so it showed me that she wrote me off ages ago. It saddens me that my own kids won’t have a grandmother. But I’ve felt a weight off my shoulders since I created the boundary: there’s days where it’s really hard but there’s days where I realize I need to prioritize me… it’s a process I guess -
sahm1225 Oh my I can relate at least to some of it but not to the Covid, sorry that it affects you so much. Hope you are feeling better soon.
I recently cut out my oldest sister and have not talked to her in over a year. This year, my other two sisters have been lecturing me for not talking to her because she is taking it out on others. I have told one of them to back off and she did for now.
I also went to an ENT recently and was tested to be positive for most of the nature allergens and some of the food. I now know the reason for my feet' itching and swelling when I go camping at my favorite site. It seems I am allergic to mulberry trees and there was one right next to where we put our tent, I thought it was the grass because I walk barefoot a lot while camping but it is the trees' roots sticking out of the ground. As for the shots, I opted not to do the shots. I also discovered that I am allergic to 5 foods, 2 of which I ate all the time and I still struggle with craving them. -
Every time life gest crazy/difficult/beyond-belief-at-the-happenings....this verse of an old song pops in my head that my grandpa used to sing with such feeling as it is very TRUE!!!!
Life is like a mountain railroad,
With an engineer that’s brave;
We must make the run successful
From the cradle to the grave;
Watch the curves, the fills, the tunnels,
Never falter, never quail;
Keep your hand upon the throttle,
And your eye upon the rail. -
Sorry this is long -
I’ve had a rough past year. LOTS of family drama that has resulted in soft no contact with my mom. Basically I am not NOT talking to her, but I am not reaching out. I am
not readily available, don’t immediately answer calls or texts. etc. and its been really hard to the point I started therapy to process.
I always have a hard time with Covid and I got it again in September (3rd time). I go into long Covid so I was in tears when I tested positive because I knew it would be months before I felt better and I was so mad at the daycare family saying ‘it’s not a big deal’ . I got laryngitis in November and it was brutal. Ended up in the ER a few weeks ago due to chest pain and it’s not my heart or my lungs, but they don’t know why I’m in so much pain. I’m 43 and considered I’m excellent health. I went to an ENT and was told that I have horrible acid reflux and they want to insert this thing in my throat to measure how bad it is and they insisted on an allergy test because from the scope in my nose they can see I have allergies. I’ve NEVER had allergies before. It’s just been rough all around. I went yesterday to the allergist and out of 28 things they tested, I reacted to 21. I am essentially allergic to outdoors and some nomfs that ONLY happen when it’s -20 that the allergist has never seen anyone be allergic too. I’m a great candidate for immunotherapy (weekly injections for 3-5 years). So anyway, I’m just overwhelmed and need mentally exhausted because of all the family drama….
anyway today I have a kid come that has missed the last 2 days due to illness. This family NEVER keeps kid home so I knew it must’ve been bad and they insisted it wasn’t. About 3 hours in, kid looks miserable and starts crying asking to go home. Text parents and they come to pick her up and I say kid needs a doctor note to return because there’s TONS of symptoms, you both work with the general public and cases are high around us AND kid has been sick since Friday night so I’m worried… DCD snaps that they’ll see what they can do because they don’t want to waste their time at urgent care for 4+ hours just to be told it’s viral… I calmly said ‘I know it’s tough, but just this month we have had an RSV, Covid, flu, and pink eye (and I only have 6 kids!) and nothing has spread because we’re all doing our part..: DCD replies ‘I don’t know what you want me to do just because YOU want a doctor visit’… I just want to scream!! Just take the kid, have them check she doesn’t have anything, and let her rest: she was having chills and miserable. Be a parent for godsakes… (bringing me back to my own mom who this morning my sister tells me she’s bragging on social media about having blocked me …. Sigh…Leave a comment:

sometimes I wonder if parents think that hy doing things like that, they’re showing that they’re in charge when in reality all it does it shows us they’re jerks ♀️I changed my opening time to 7 as no one was arriving before 7:30, most days 7:45......began the new time this week and I have had two cars in my drive at 6:50 waiting to come in at 7....it's a control thing with clients but I'm NOT opening before 7 unless someone actually goes to work and needs to at that time and they will PAY.....an exrra hour makes a big difference for me and I'm too and after 30 plus years I'm NOT going backwards.
