Give notice. Mom is not willing to work with you and the child is HUNGRY and unhappy. In my state, infants must be fed on demand, no schedules. When I took infants, I required them to show me a full bottle feeding before leaving baby in my care. I didn't just take their word for it.Comment

Day number 2 of this migraine and tossing my cookies because of it. I care for mostly infants, so they don't mind, but I sure am tired of it! Very laid back day today, only 2 kiddos, thank goodness!Comment

uhh...?
Yesterday I had a dcm (her mom has temp. custody but she comes with her to pick up dcb) ask me what do I consider late for dcb. I was confused so I asked what she meant. She said as far as pick up goes like is it 5:05 or what. So I said, well his time to be picked up is by 5:00 p.m. so anytime after 5 is late. :confused::confused: I was confused

Snow???? Are you serious??? Where was it on Christmas Day and why did it come this morning when most parents 'forgot' to bring hats, mittens, boots??? It snowed all morning.
Yes it was pretty and felt like the 1st snowfall. But it's APRIL 26th!!!

They are calling for flurries overnight.
Today we are dressed for a gorgeous spring day (jackets and splash pants) and wearing sunscreen. I've already sent home all the winter stuff and refuse to let it back in the house.

It's a day
If kids don't eat their lunch, okay. If kids ask for seconds and then don't eat them, that's annoying.
If kids have an accident, okay. If kids have a poop accident and choose to ignore it, go about their business, and then lie about whether it happened to get out of cleaning themselves up, that's annoying. I wouldn't put someone in time out for having an accident, but that kid is in time out for not dealing with it.Comment

Dcb rolled his eyes at me. I told him that wasn't okay, and he rolled his eyes again. Dcb took a break to reconsider his attitude. (The attitude this child throws around, I don't know where it comes from. Eye rolling, mocking faces, etc. His mother is a lovely woman, so nice, genuinely too.)Comment

We have snow on the ground and winter gear back in the cubbies.
Although I was driving home from class last night, past the lake, which had fog coming up and the pine trees along the edge were lightly dusted with snow.... it was picture perfect. For January. Not the tail end of April.

Parent is traveling over the weekend and coming back Tuesday which means she still has that day off from work. Wants to bring in dcb when after she lands. Normally this wouldn't be a problem if it was like 9am that he was arriving here. She wants to come during nap time so after 1230pm....! Uh no. Sorry. That is my break time. That is when I get stuff done. I refuse to have a child come in that is not going to nap and is going to wake everyone else up. I don't think parents think like that. Sweet mom, I'm not mad just had to say No.Comment

I am in such a mood today!
Next week is my vacation and every single family has brought a sick child into my home this week.
I've sent one kid home Tuesday who puked all over the kitchen table, one kid home for uncontrollable coughing and one kid home for a fever.
Lo and behold, I feel crummy today.
I want to swear up a storm if I end up spending my vacation in bed sick.Comment

I had 52 hours on my time card for last week and yet my paycheck was for 40 hours. And, of course, I didn't notice until about an hour ago so I can't do anything about it until Monday. I've never been shorted on a paycheck before (and I can get overtime whenever I want) so I'm assuming it was an honest mistake. Our administrators have been in/out with illness all week. Buuuuuuuuut I had been planning to use that overtime money to buy concert tickets for DH's birthday. It just figures that things would get screwed up the ONE time I actually really wanted to buy something.Comment

Forgot to pay me on time again
Alright, I'm getting really tired of a family not paying me on time. I normally get paid weekly, but this particular family likes to pay monthly. (Probably because they definitely couldn't remember to pay weekly!)
Well I was supposed to get paid today. I always have to send them a text or talk to them at drop off or pick-up reminding them that it's the beginning of another month. You would think they would put a reminder in their phone!!! Time to send home invoices which I should have done in the first place...Comment

Personally I would turn them away at the door until they come back with the pay... I get paid in advance BY THE MONTH; my parents all paid me last Friday @ pick up because the 1st was a Sunday. NO PAY, NO STAY... same goes on Fridays if they decide to pay weekly... no pay, no care on Monday. rinse and repeat until they get itComment

It's nephew's last week of care here this week. So far they took Monday off last minute and fought about paying me for it, showed up past my cut off drop off time Tuesday and picked up 5 minutes late, and dropped off 10 minutes before I opened this morning with nephew in a poopy diaper and a mouth full of food (they live less than a mile from me). Can't wait to see what is in store for me for the next 2 days. Yay for an end in sight!Comment
