Closing Down

[dave4him]

Still waiting to hear from the DHS about the whole issue with the complaint. Seems like they are just sitting on it as long as possible. Makes me wonder if they have something against guys as daycare owners. I have been getting calls about my daycare and all i can tell people is i will have openings after the first of the year, providing the DHS decides this whole thing is crazy and i am perfectly fine . Funny thing is i have been in a great mood the last couple weeks. Mostly cause my parents were here for a week and my sister will be here next week. SO lots to be happy about happyface

I am still able to watch family so nothing has changed much there. My niece and her step cousin are still here. However his aunt had a change of hours and now only needs me three days out of the week from 2-6. and can only pay 15$ a day....there is a daycare near her work that said they would charge her that much i guess. So ill keep him even at that reduction unless i can fill my spots. I have two people to call back, one is a girl i know and her daugther is 5. The other is a 14 month old baby, i have not mom yet.

So that is pretty much where i am at now. My doctor gave the DHS a note saying i am not being treated for depression or anything else of that sort. And told me if they have any questions to have them make an appointment so he can bill them! Yeah he gets the completely absurdity of this mess. SO hopefully DHS will allow me to get back to work here... i might just call them and tell them i have to reopen since i am getting calls finally about people interested.

I closed my FB account and will no longer be venting here either. Not that i have trust issues but seriously lovethis you all are great. Thank you

I hate to say this, but they definitely take their sweet time. We had a complaint come in in June, we chose not to take the voluntary shut-down, but it still took 6 months for everything to be finalized. They are supposed to take 60 days max.

Now, I would hope since you took the voluntary shut down, that they would hurry since your income was compromised. But OKDHS can sure take their sweet time.

I really hope that they finish with this ridiculousness as soon as possible.

Im going to call them this week and tell them i need to open back up since i am getting people interested. I have gone months without a call and suddenly i am getting some.

My nasty nieghbor calls DCFS on me all the time. They had to stop taking complaints without a name. I told them I would sue them personally for harassment if they couldn't give me the name of the complainer. I haven't seen them in months! Mind you they was out here every month almost for a year. Good luck dude!
