    Dcd tells me my kid has been sick 2 weeks in a row. I told him yes dcg(22mo) needs to stay home. Coughing(deep raspy)& yellow icky mucus everywhere. Dcg likes to put fingers in nose and will swipe with hands and then touch things. I will not have other dcks sick too. No thank you.

      Dcm took an adult temper tantrum yesterday (which was not very becoming) after I sent her sick dcb home for persistent/unconsolable crying/screaming, not eating, not sleeping, congestion, with a low grade.
      One of dcm's many text to me........"She is not ill, she has a common cold/virus and the doctor said she was not contagious" .....paa..leassse....::......

        My one summer family said they needed to drop off an hour early today. The parents are headed out of town. Instead of an hour early, they got here 25 minutes late. Flaky people.

          My one full time dck's parent turned in their 2 weeks notice, they gave me 4 weeks which was nice .
          There is no real possibility of getting any full time dck to replace him and I may have to close . The 2 part timers over the summer will not be enough and both of those will end up sa kids after summer break.

            Rule of inverse energy levels: The less I have, the more they have.

            I'm just tired from a late night and sore from yesterday's work out. The kiddos, OTOH, are having a good ol' time.

              If you recently told me about the Disney Cruise you're taking your kids on, as well as the $500 in clothes you just bought your kids, please don't text me on a Saturday evening to inform me that you cannot pay your daycare bill because you "don't have money."

              What you don't have is a budget, or daycare until you are paid up.

                  Dcg will NOT go to sleep. We had bad thunder storms last night, and she was up in the middle of the night because of them. She was an emotional mess all morning from being so tired. Now she is doing everything in her power to force herself to stay awake. I can just imagine how awful this afternoon is going to be.

                    Today and the next 2 days are half days, which means my days are now 1-6pm. They were nuts today. No amount of gym time, toys, or electronic entertainment helped me.

                    AND The usual late pick up left early.....the early pick up left late.
                    The curse continues.....

                    One down, two to go....

                      A parent forgot bring his weekly payment and had to go to an ATM to get money and then went back to pay. His 2 y.o. son has saw him and start crying.
                      The father gave him a dollar. The boy putted it into his packet and stopped crying
                      I had no word to say.
                      At pick up time I just asked the father, "how much are you going to pay him when he get 5y.o., 15 y.o.?

                        Remember the kid in Daddy Daycare that did that? :: It's funny when it's fiction, not so much in real life, huh?

                          dcg just turned 3 last week. She has only been with a month and half. I started taking her to the potty when she started attending here. Mom said to me during the interview "my friends say she will potty train herself"...well you still have to show her how to sit on the potty Anyway, she has been doing great. She goes on the potty 80% of the time. I figured she would be in big girl underwear in the next month or so. She has never pooped in the potty for me and is still wet 2-3 times a day.

                          Dcm shows up today, late, as she heads out the door "Oh she is in big girl underwear!" Yep...no extra undies, no spare clothes. I was pissed. I would have refused, called mom and had her pick up, but was under caffeinated and not thinking clearly. Little girl had 2 accidents. I put her back in a diaper after the first one and had to use my sons clothes for her.
                          AHHHHHH

                          Luckily mom was understanding of this behavior not being acceptable in the future. She is just flakey. Today was the worst. But all daycare kids picked up early and only 4 hours till mine will all be in bed.

                            So irritated with dcps that think only of themselves and not the health and well being of their child which they choose to have. So can't wait for the next couple of months until they leave.

                              Ugh! Don't you love it when that happens...

                              I have a 3 yr old DCG that I KNOW is ready to be trained.... I FINALLY got mom to devote her 3 day weekend and go cold turkey with her and just get it done.... Things were great the first week after... DCG went potty no problem.... no accidents. (looking back I reminded her all through out the day)

                              The second week she had a min of two accidents a day, mom said DCG refuses to go at home and says "I will sit a daycare" every time mom asks her to go so mom didn't push it...

                              Today, its Tuesday on week #3 and I was cleaning up the 3rd mess she made today suddenly I had this "I could've had a V-8 moment" and thought "Blackcat, WHAT are you doing??? Why are YOU cleaning up pee....aaannnddd not the first time recently???"

                              Mom and I had a talk at pick up. She was like your DCM and understood.
                              DCG will arrive tomorrow in a pull-up.

                              Funny, how we know better but sometimes things just sneak by

                              Glad your situation worked out.... happyface
