Not child care related, but our 8 yr old needs $2,000 of dental work done. Our insurance will cover $1,000 but the dentist requires we pay the full amount up front, then he'll reimburse us when the insurance comes through. Like we have $2,000 just sitting around...Comment

I am sorry
I just had $900 of dental work done last month. As I left the office after day 2 of several hours in the chair, the woman at the front desk said "Hope to see back soon!" I literally started crying (which is super ugly when your face is numb and you can't feel snot on your face) and said "I hope not!" as I walked out the door. Poor lady was trying to be friendly and I was not in the mood.
Hope your 8yo isn't in too much pain right now. :hug:Comment

Ugh. Feel your pain!
We just did phase 1 orthodontics for older dd. $3,600 and NONE was covered by insurance
Our ortho has payment plan options though so we chose Care Credit (and the bonus is we were able to use DH's flex spending for the payments!) Then she had to have an upper frenectomy which was only marginally covered by insurance (if we didn't her upper teeth would have popped back apart after having the braces off
) That was $400...
Now younger DD starts her phase one orthodontics next week. Let the fun begin again!!
In your case, I might call around for second and third opinions and see if other dentists have better payment plans. Good Luck!Comment

I would call WDA (Wisconsin Dental Association) and ask about their dental grants. http://www.wda.org/wda-foundation/grants
I don't know the details to apply or how it works but I've heard of people using this foundation as a way to pay for some of their unexpected dental costs.
If they can't help, I bet they can send you in the right direction to find out who can.Comment

So...I just got stung by a wasp and I couldn't say any of the words inside my head around the children. Plus now we have to go inside until I can make sure there is no nest nearby. OUCH!Comment

Today is the last Friday before dcg starts school, so I thought it would be fun to do a special field trip. To top it off, she is the only dck in attendance today. So I get her and my kids excited to go to the kids museum, a half hour away. We arrive only to find put that the museum is closed for August and September! What really gets me is the fact I've been receiving newsletters from this museum for the last two years. Would it be so difficult to send out an email saying, by the way, we are moving and so are going to be closed for two months? Thankfully, Ds remembered that there is a cool park not too far from there. Better than Chuck E Cheese. :

If this fake, still lives at home with parents, dipsh** 25yr old Pre-K teacher even REMOTELY get the Childcare director position I will raise the world a new kind of hell.
This chick tried to get me written up and fired for....NOT SAYING GOODBYE TO HER! Not even kidding. Months ago, I was leaving the building, she was talking in a group of other coworkers and I didn't say bye out of just sheer "want to get home" mode. She raised hell the next day over it and has since tried to throw me under the bus at any turn. I, being a god damn adult, basically don't acknowledge her existence but am 100% business professional. It drives her nuts. I'm a well loved, super respected alpha and she hates me for it.
Now she thinks she can take the director spot? NOPE. She had it once for 3 months before I was even a thought and failed miserably, almost putting it under. So I really hope they remember that and not just look at her bachelor's and give it to her. NO. I refuse to bow and I will destroy the land I created before she can remotely go above me. /tantrumComment

I get that people are wanting to leave the large and previously good center that's nearby because it's under state sanctions, etc. (OT, but how much do you have annoy your inspector for them to note the condition of your ceiling tiles and the amount of crayon on the wall on your inspection report???), but why are they being hired at my center for all the lead teacher slots? Half our staff is now from that center and most of the rest of the half are from some of the worst centers in the area. I guess that's so when we're telling stories from our old centers about all the employees who used to show up drunk/high, they won't feel so bad about their old center?
But, seriously, for people who came from a center that was supposed to be superior, I have to do a lot of explaining about why it's important to know your head count and ratios. And that they should probably get off their cell phones. But, you know, they have experience at a superior center so they're getting the lead teacher spots...Comment

Well that was a great start to the school year: one DCM tells DCK wrong bus # to get on and apparently no one bothered to check and the other DCF forgot to mention Grandma was picking up at school for a 1st day treat. SO bus pulls up an neither DCK was on bus. Fun couple of minutes figuring out who was where.

New 2 year old DCK will not nap more then 30 minutes. As soon as she wakes she screams, bucks her body. Come to find out mom still nurses her to sleep and as soon as she wakes at home, mom gets her out of bed and nurses her again
