When you're about to purchase something and you run through this mental list of criteria before you buy: For. Every. Single. Purchase.- Can I write it off?
- It is toxic?
- Is it a choking hazard?
- Does it make electronic noise? If yes, how easily can I remove the batteries?
- Will it withstand a horde of stampeding rhinos?
- Does it fit in my dishwasher/washing machine?
- On a scale of 1-10 (1: not really, 10: my ears are bleeding) how annoying is it?
- On a scale of 1-10 (1: not really, 10: Lego) - if I step on it how painful is it?

When you go to the store and you grab a daycare item that you really didn't need, so you can write off the mileage for the whole trip.
When you develop small pet peeves/ocd of having a clean table. Even when you visit someone, you feel the urge to wipe down their table.
When you go to a gathering or family function and you somehow always manage to be the only one surrounded by all the kids.Comment

When you are in the middle of a kindle book but keeping coming back to Daycare.com because it is not fast paced enough to keep your attention.- Unless otherwise stated, all my posts are personal opinion and worth what you paid for them.

You know you're a childcare provider when:
your freezer is filled with frozen baggies of bugs.
when you talk the store clerk's ear off about making fairy gardens just because she mentioned the seashells you bought.
Or it could be the 100 other things you have in your cart in multiples of 8.

Bugs!?? What are you doing with them?
(Mine is filled with dinos frozen in ice chunks. Couldn't figure a way to freeze them in eggs. Wighout breaking the eggs.)Comment

I bought several bottles of hair gel at dollar mart once to make sensory bottles and the store clerk asked what I was going to do with my hair...:

They're plastic of course. Hope you didn't think I meant real bugs? My younger group have been so into bugs, fish, snakes, and all those little packages of things you can find at the dollar stores. So I bought 3 more packages today and froze them to use outside in the water table this week. Our sandbox is filled with them too and they're always either playing with those or dinosaurs.
I also bought 3 of those plastic tube thingies that you whirl around and they make this cool sound. They didn't have 8 of those.
Not sure how my dogs are going to like them though; I had to try them out and they went insane.
