On eof my little friends left our daycare last Friday due to her mother being laid off. i knew she would be returning should mom score interviews or a job. This little girl was a handful! I love her to death, but I didn't realize how much she was really making my life a living hell until she left. There are two children here that I didn't even realize had the ability to form complete sentences because she was always running around reaking havoc loudly, and hogging all of my attention. These two little ones have been chatting up a storm all week! My house is clean(er). We are getting so many activities done. We have been goping to nap a little later each day because of the number of activities we have been able to squeeze into a day without me wanting to pull my hair out. I can talk on the phone! I can answer my door! I can do my daughter's hair before school! I have Christmas cookies in the oven as we speak! All I could do during the 4 months that she was here was look around miserably and wonder what I had done to deserve this. Her mom texted me this morning and told me how much she missed being her. I texted back with we should plan a playdate. Mom's response was I hope to find a job by then! SHE'S NOT COMING BACK HERE! I need to let that be known.. the dilemma is not whether or not she is coming back. The dilemma is that I don't want to lie or "be mean". Saying that I am full seems like the best option, but it's not true
"I will certainly be adding a 2 week probation period to my handbook. I started to put an ad out to fill the spot, but the truth is life has been so beautifu without her that I want to give myself a break before I start giving people tours of my home, and possibally welcoming another wild child into my home again.
