Dear parents,
You signed up with a no transport daycare. Daycare is 3.5 blocks from school. Your snowflakes will not melt in the 7 minutes spent walking home in the rain.

Trust me on this one.

If my daughter's school does not answer the phone, I am going to come through it.

I've been calling for the last hour and the phone is just ringing endlessly. I just want her student ID number so I can sign her up for out-of-zone for kindergarten next year, but what if it was something urgent. Geez.

Please remind me that they are only babies!!! They are following me around constantly today. Getting under my feet and getting into everything they aren't allowed to get into! Pulling my hair out!!

I often have to remind myself this. The other day my 1.5 yr old DCG was driving me nuts and I ended up telling her to shut up. She of course wasn't phased by it and carried on her shenanigans but my DH heard and he pointed it out to me. Honestly, until he pointed it out I hadn't even realized what I'd said. Sometimes they can really wear us down!

Director's kid: "But my mom said..."

I'm taking it with a grain of salt as of now because this kiddo is manipulative. But so is she, and if she wants an issue with one of her teachers, that's a great way to create one. :dislike:

Insurance companies. I loathe their tighter and tighter restrictions.
I'm on my 2nd insurance salesman and the way he talked, I'd have to jump through 1000 hoops to get homeowner's insurance if I'd even qualify. Lead test, furnace and oil tank ages, and a few other things that he mentioned. It never used to be this hard. He asked me what kind of dogs I have, told him lab mixes and he wanted to know what the mixes are. How the he!! should I know?? So it's not enough that I don't own any of the dogs known as 'vicious and evil'(I don't even want to get into that debate), now I have to prove to them what parts they're made of??
Argh.

Take the day off work for child's birthday. Child spends the day with me so mom can get things done. Irony anyone?

Ugh that is pretty messed up. I am sorry but I can't help but feel bad for that kid.

Started a new boy yesterday and things went very well. Mom has said he wasn't a big napper but would lay quietly on his mat. He did fall asleep for about an hour yesterday.

Today he's refusing to lay down so he's at the table with me. I have no where else for kids to be during quiet time and I am up front about not taking non-nappers because of this.

Ugh, not looking forward to having this talk today.
