Missed my prenatal appointment and still can't reach my sub on the phone

That ****s... maybe it's time to fire the sub and just close a half day when you have appointments (I schedule any appointments early morning and open by lunch)

....sorry the rest of my post got deleted. She replied to me that if I did not refund $500.00 money she says she is out then she will file a complaint and get an attorney. I know that she has no grounds against me in fact she is the one that owes me for a few days that she had neglected to add into the 30 notice.

This person is trying to black mail you!! She's gonna NEED an attorney after she is arrested for extortion!

I don't usually vent here, but it's been a day from Hell!! I had 6 kids today, which is my licensing capacity. The ages are 4,4,3,3,16 months and 4 months. The 4 month old naps at most 30 minutes at a time and is completely miserable the rest of the time. One of the 3 yr olds is going through the God awful 3's and was throwing things in my pool and hitting his brother (4 months). At naptime, the 4 month old pissed and moaned the entire time the other kids were napping. I got the others up later and the 16 month old had somehow unhooked the one tab on his diaper and there was poo falling out of his diaper. I laid him on the floor and was trying to clean him up and change his clothes and the entire time the 4 month old was laying by us just screaming bloody murder. He's used to undivided attention. Could not wait for this day to end.

Today is the preschool reading hour at the local library.

On August 13th I e-mailed my mom to see if she was available to come sit with the infants/toddlers while I took the preschoolers to the reading hour. I gave specific times (9:45am - 11:45am) She e-mailed back that she was available and would be here.

On Monday (August 25th) I spoke with her and confirmed that she was still available. She said yes. I reiterated the times and who she would be staying here at the house with. I e-mailed again to have it in writing. She e-mailed back teasing me for not trusting her and that YES she would be here.

I called her 25 minutes ago (8am) to be sure she was still coming. Yes, she says, I will be there. As we're saying our goodbye's she goes "see you this afternoon" um....WHAT? No, I say, I will see you at 9:45. She tells me that that's not what I said and she has a different time written down so she'll see what she can do.

I'm pissed. I immediately got on the computer, found BOTH sent e-mails and her responses and forwarded them to her.

THIS is why I don't try to do things with only part of the group. Guess it's time to get a group license, pay the extra insurance stuff for employees, and hire a real assistant.

I did NOT need this today.

Aw, that stinks!! A couple of years ago I offered my mom the job of summer assistant. She turned it down and I was so happy. I know that I'd have similar issues and I wouldn't be able to say anything

Nap time

That almost 10 month old who thinks nap time is not when the others are napping! Ugh! Just sitting in the pack and play letting out a whimper here and there. If I bring her into the living room to rock her, she wakes the other baby up and then I have two screamers on my hands. 😞

I hate riding in the rain! We were in Cloudcroft NM a couple of weeks ago and took a trip up the ski mountain at Ruidoso and just about the time we got to the top of this very hairy mountain road, yep it started raining. Riding back down that in the rain was NO FUN! But we made it, thank goodness for rain gear.

Loved the pic! I told you you should've stayed put! Rain on a motorcycle is like a thousand needles.

Exactly!

My thoughts exactly! My mom is my co provider and couldn't believe this daycare mom talked to me that way.

My thoughts exactly! My mom is my co provider and couldn't believe this daycare mom talked to me that way. I was shocked too. I should have said well EXCUSE THE HELL OUT OF ME for wanting my two weeks worth of pay for taking care of your self centered little devil child. I was just so thrown off and not on my game.

Today ****s. .. so much whining and crying. And If I put them down for naps, they will not sleep at naptime (I tried last week). I just have to struggle. ..
