So, DCM told me last week she was going to call in today to keep my charges down. (I'm going to start charging a flat rate no matter if she's here or not after she pays in full.) She's been having financial problems & I told her a couple months ago, she could skip paying me for 2 weeks & on the 3rd week, pay for that week & put a bit towards the balance to catch up. Needless to say, she hasn't even been making the principal some weeks & says she's going to pay me off with taxes, which is why I haven't already termed her. That & I don't have another kid in here yet. As soon as I get another kid, she's gone. (I'm sick of her crap & am growing a backbone. I've learned a lot of what NOT to do in the 6 months I've been taking care of her kid through reading here & experiencing her. I will demand payment in advance, for one.) Anyway, I digress. She called in 3 times LAST week, so I texted her last night to see if she was coming today. I tell her Monday is my birthday, so if she's not going to be here, I'm going to go out & maybe have a couple drinks, stay up late or something. She says yes, she'll be here. I'm not sad about no wine & we go out to dinner & my husband makes me cupcakes. So this morning, I get up, b/c today she'll be dropping off right after I open at 7. We cosleep, so my 2 year old also wakes up when I get out of bed. We go downstairs & I change him & let the dog out. She texts me at 7:28: I guess we're staying home today. Haha!
What??? I could've slept in! To top it off, as I look at my TV there's a dollar sized pitch black mark on the bottom of the screen. My child sprayed it w/ homemade wipe spray. I don't know what happened. Apparently there's a sensor there & it leaked through? It wasn't much water & I wiped it immediately. I feel like crying. I don't have money to replace the TV.
