Last fall, I only had 2 part time kids (1 family). An acquaintance asked me to keep her grandson 2 Saturdays a month. I was already working every other Saturday, and needed the money, so I agreed.
A couple of months later, my part timers went full time with no Saturdays. But, I kept the drop in because 1) I needed the money and 2) he's a great kid and we were crazy about him.
Last week, I finally filled my 3rd spot and it is going to mean longer hours. Working Saturday would have put me at almost 60 hours of kids a week. So today, I let him go.
Wouldn't you know that he picked this day to be especially cuddly and adorable?
Every time he walked past, he stopped and hugged me. I cried when he left. But for the first time since I started more than 2 years ago, I don't have to work Saturdays!!! happyface
