I'm Officially Done!

[MamaBear]

Well this is it! I'm officially done doing daycare now! I was supposed to have one DCB come today for my last day, but his mom decided to keep him home since they just had another baby. (Happy Dance!) happyface So I am OFFICIALLY retired from doing daycare 6 years of caring for kiddos... done.

I've been selling my daycare stuff like hot cakes on Craigslist. Only have a few things left. I sanitized my house like crazy yesterday and have not ONE daycare item in my house anymore. I got to rearrange my front living room and actually have un-babysafe furniture & decor in there...Even my "nice" throw pillows are on display! My ex-playroom is now the cutest office room ever! No more baby locks on my drawers & cabinets either. Yeah... i didn't waste any time! ! Ahhhh it feels good. My kids are really excited too. I feel kinda like they have their mom back now. I didn't realize how much doing daycare kinda pulled me away from them... even though I was here, I wasn't really "here". If that makes any sense.

I just wanted to thank you all for your support during my bad days when I need to vent on here... your virtual hugs meant so much to me! You are some awesome ladies and I will miss you guys. I will probably still log in from time to time to see whats new in the daycare world. Hope ya don't mind My husband's deployment is 1/2 way done now and I can't wait till the summer! This will give me time to work on my next venture.

Take care all! Onto my next adventure!

T-minus 4 hours left for me and dcb was going out with fireworks this morning! Oh Lordy! I did not think this day would come. I think I'm going to Tag sale my stuff. I look forward to NOT having to clean every day and I told DH to expect a mess for a couple weeks ::

Yay!!!!! Congratulations!!! I was done officially last Friday with providing care in my home! happyface happyface I also got to rearrange my front room. I bought a new area rug for it that has no boogers on it...! I have been selling alot of my daycare stuff through friends on FB and will sell the rest at our community garage sale this summer. Isn't it a good feeling having your home back???!!!! It's funny though..I have been taking a break this week and I am still listening for the little ones to be done with thier naps every afternoon. ::

Can we get a new category-"Life after daycare". I know I'm going to still come on this forum anyway. This is the most respectful and genuine forum out there and providers give the best advice.lovethis
