          Thanks everyone for all the love :hug:

          I have updated our local COAD (they help with finding parents child care) and I've posted on several sites on FB. Also done a craigslist ad, and hung a yard sign on the mail box. So hopefully things will look up soon!! It's just bad when it all goes down in the same week.

            I don't advertise anywhere else. Just my sign and it does wonders.
            I ordered business cards and lettehead etc.. and a nice 7 foot banner. Is going at end of driveway when I open. I kinda have to put something out there as my house sits 250 feet off the road. Most people who drive by prolly don't even know I'm back here.

              I know the feeling!!!!

              We live in the woods and our driveway is just wide enough for our camper to fit.. But it turns into the woods and even people that have grown up here their whole lives don't know where we live. This house was built in 2009. And they put it 200 yards into the woods and at the house end of the dirt drive is a 65 degree incline. It's not fun after a bad rain .

              But I wouldn't change it for anything in the world. No neighbors. Private.

                Just don't dress up as a witch (as you've done for the last 15 or so years) for Halloween and put up a sign next to the steps saying you have an opening in your day care. No one takes it seriously. Don't ask how I know.::

                This year, I'm ditching the witch and trying out Cat in the Hat!
