Woke up with a really bad headache but still decided to stay open. Started throwing up around 11 with diarrhea to start soon after. Texted all the parents that children will need picked up. Mom shows up at 1:10 and says sorry I’m a little late, had to stop at target to grab some Christmas items that are target exclusives.

I am so weak I couldn’t even muster up a “are you f***ing serious?” I just can’t deal with parents anymore.

So sorry! :hug: My own 16 year old woke up at 5:00 throwing up. He is trying to sip on gatorade but throws up with that. I am afraid he will be dehydrated by the time I close. May be making a run to the ER for fluids.

OMG Unbelievable!! I'd be ranting and raving like a lunatic after hearing that!!
I hope you feel better soon.

The only time my 10 mo old is happy is when he’s being held....or sleeping. (The second one is me tee hee hee)

It's nap time here and they are all asleep. I am closing at 4 today and DCd keeps reminding me of his plan. Like it's his idea to pick up early. Haha.

DCM is contracted til 3 on Thursday, came in asking about DCB nap. She was planning on coming later today so DCB didn't have to be woke, um no. I been laying him down an hour early because of his visits with his bio dad are during nap time, I can lay him down at as early as I want but you need to be here on time either way.

How are you feeling today?

[Ms.Kay]

When parents drop off their kids...and tell me they're "taking a me day".

That is all.

I’m feeling much better today!!! Yesterday I still felt a little ick but not as bad as the day before. I’m just happy that it’s Friday! I have a mother son dance to attend with my 2 boys and then tomorrow is my birthday! We lots of festivities planned!

I will reiterate my opposition to the whole time change thing. There is absolutely no reason I should wake up at 350 when I didn't need up till 5.

Yes, why is it that you feel the loss of that hour when we spring forward but we never feel like we actually gained an hour when we fall back?

So not fair...

I was awake at regular body clock time and not actual time as well. Gonna be a looooooong day!

Hope yours goes swiftly!

There should be a flat rate of $200 for “me days”

DCM says on her way out the door this morning "Oh hey I forgot to tell you our offices are closed on Monday (Veteran's Day) so the kids won't be here"

I say "Ok, thank you"

She says "If that changes I'll let you know."


I doubt their going to change Veteran's Day and open.

But yeah... I know what she really meant.

[Cat Herder]

Yep. "If they annoy me this weekend or I find something that sounds more fun, I will bring them early Monday."

My 1st drop-off has been becoming my last pick-up lately so Mom can go walking after work for some "quiet time". Kids' 10 hour days in daycare to Moms 8 at her desk +1 in the car alone, who really needs some quiet time?

They'll be bringing them anyways.......they paid for it.... $ is worth more than time with their kids.

This annoys me so so so much.

Parents look at me like I have two heads when I say something but I don't maybe it's a provider thing but it just annoys me. It's always the hardest/youngest child in care too.

Mine arrives on the dot (opening time) and right before closing time but then stands around and wants to chat BOTH times like she has nothing better to do.

I ignore but she just stands there. She's still fairly new so I am thinking this relationship will go so much better if she doesn't make me have to have "the talk" with her.
