I am losing my mind.
Licensing inspection this morning went well - except I don't have one of dc baby's medical statments in their folder.

I KNOW I have it. But I have no idea what I did with it.

She told me to email her a pic later when I find it, but still.

Why wouldn't I have just put it in her file with every other piece of paperwork?!

Glad the rest of the inspection went well. I do that with paperwork sometimes, I'll slip it under my computer or in some other "safe" place and then I can't find it later

Happened to me during my inspection. I lost it that morning and boom during nap licensor comes. She said it is okay. I even offered to fax it to her that afternoon when mom brought me a copy and she said not to worry. Didn't even write me up.

Sister in law whose dcg last day is Friday probably won't come back. Dcd picked up 60 minutes late because he thought dcm was picking up. We'll either pay me $60 or come pick up dcgs things. Mehhhhh

Yup dcm never apologized. Never answered my DH's texts or calls. DCG isn't coming back and we are not getting our $60 late fee but that's fine because her last day was supposed to be tomorrow. Now I have an extra crib sheet, formula and a few other things. It would be easier if she wasn't DH's sister but not like we see her much outside of daycare anyway.

Ugh my own children are the ones I would like to term lately. My 3 yo son thinks he is in charge because it's his house and doesn't have a care in the world to anything I say. He laughs and thinks it's funny and I try hard not to lose my patience but it's tough.
On a side note I feel like all the babies want to do is eat. After 1 or 2 hours even after a nap they just scream and cry. It never ends!

I know I'll regret this in a couple of months but: it's in the mid 80's here today and I'm over it. We've had the first frost already. I want sweaters and boots and being able to be outside and not having bugs in my face.

Also, I have an interview on Friday. Mom seems desperate. I'm nervous ::

Same here! So over it! I hate this mixed bag weather right now. Cold, hot, coler, hotter. Ugh. Get chilly already, i just put away all my kids summer clothes.

This falls under the things that shouldn't annoy me but do category..
I have a child who is enrolled full time who has become a "sniffer" at nap time. Every nap time, for an HOUR straight before he falls asleep, he sits and sniffs every 2 seconds. He doesn't have a runny nose. I've told him to stop. I've tried moving him. We ALL still hear him. It is extremely obnoxious.

He should probably see a doctor. I am a "sniffer", too, when I'm not on meds. For me, it's asthma and allergies.

Running off maybe 3 hours of sleep from teething 10 month old, ALL my kids decide today is NOT a napping day.

Then one finally falls asleep, and my trouble DCG3 wakes her up. So ragey.

DCM that I'm waiting to term asked today if I could watch her 2 kids tomorrow so she can clean her house because you can't get anything done with them around. DCM asked me this while there were 10 kids in my house and I was cleaning my kitchen and talking to her. She asked my rate (she's on assistance) for a full day-then asked if I'd do HALF of that rate (uh, NO! I don't even want to take your kids tomorrow!).

I just want to term her because I don't like her. Her kids are angels until she walks into the door, at which time they turn into demons. It's not about the kids at all-DCM is just annoying as heck! The good news is that I think I have one of those spots filled, and that's good enough for me...if I get that contract back on Monday, I'm terming then.

My dog has an upset stomach.
I did a poor job cleaning up the yard.
THREE children ROLLED in dog diarrhea
They didn't just step in it.
They rolled in it.

:confused:

All kids sleeping in back up clothes - I threw everything in the wash, I'm so embarrassed. I work so hard to keep the yard picked up...I don't know how I missed it.

"Oh Sally had a great day! She shared with Tommy, ate all her vegetables and swam in dog $hit! Have a great night!" Yep, that'll go over just fine.

OMG I am dying at the way you just said that.. I'm sorry you had that happen today though! The clothes will come out clean and I'm sure the kids had a good time!

:: ICK! I used to have my kids and dogs share play space. When I moved, I was thrilled to find that there was an area of the yard that was just MADE for a dog yard. Now, they have a 20 x 25 play space of their own and I no longer have to spend nap time on poop patrol!

So jealous! We have an area we are going to fence off, but decided we would rather have a large fenced off garden (protected from DCKs and dog) than a dog run. And I like her having lots of room to run and play. BUT it is occasionally nasty! All pants cleaned and dried before pick up, shoes cleaned and drying in the sun. I think its gonna be ok ::

i dont think you should raise your voice at another staff, but... it feels good when you do it! I told one of my coworkers today that i can't do everything around here with a high pitch voice. There was no kids around us, but just her and me.


!!!!!happyface I been keeping my pent up anger against other staff, because she doesn't not do her fair share of work. I get swamp with the kids outside/inside where she just watches and doesn't lift a finger to help me...

Also she doesn't do her job right while watching the kids i see kids falling left and right and she is off in her own imagine or doesn't seem to care to check on them. It drives me insane!

I feel like i am doing all the work out here, and having to worry about the threat of getting in trouble due to the fear that i am afraid of having one kids getting injured and no staff witnessing it.
Which is gonna result in all of us getting written up when i am doing my job to the fullest!While having a torn acl/mcl in one leg.

P.S. One of my leg is smaller than the other and the kids are picking at me =☾
