Daycare Center and Family Home Forum>Yay!!! Almost A Day Off....
Lucy 07:35 PM 11-11-2012
I have 6 kids from 4 families. One family told me Thursday that Dad was off Friday and Monday (tomorrow), so there's 2 kids down. I just got a text that another girl was staying home with Dad (no school), and shortly after, another family with 2 kids called and said their boy is staying with Dad, and Grandma wants the girl and her cousins to all come to her house for the day.

So.... I am left with just a 2-yr old girl who takes a nice long 3 hour nap. We can spend part of the morning at my mom's, then have lunch and a nap, then maybe go to the library's kids area for an hour or so. Easy peasy!! From 6 down to 1. Yay!!!

Isn't it nice!

I only have 1 DCK coming here today too. I'm a bit upset about it since Mom has the day off and she is still sending DCK. Happens all the time with this family, yes I get paid so I shouldn't be upset, but when she comes at pick-up and always tells me about all the relaxing things she does (spa visits, naps, movies etc) it bothers me.

I'm wondering out of my 12 how many I will have. Already 1 here early, so we'll see.

I've only got one too, an infant at that!

I'm going to take advantage and knock the heck out of my mountain of laundry

Apparently mountains will be taking a beating because I'm doing that too. I took care of Dish Mountain last night...now Laundry Mountain today. Maybe even "Take Down the Halloween Decorations" Mountain.

All mine were on time, if not a bit early. No one is out today although I have a feeling one might be going home if they pep up a bit.

School is in session here and my other families all have to work. The banks are closed and the two parents I have that work in a bank also brought their kids because one dad is going deer hunting today.

The other parent I have who works in a bank is a single mom who tries to work a second job any time the bank has a closure or gives her a day off.

No day off for me until next week.....but then......4 day weekend!!!

I am starting the countdown now!

All mine are here today. One family is coming late (dcm is off), 1 family on time, and 1 family (first of the day) apparently forgot to set the alarm and was late by 35 minutes, so I had a quiet beginning. Only the one dcm is off, everyone else works and school is in session. Enjoy your "easy" day!

I have a family like that too. The dad is constantly off, but kids still come. I was really surprised they didn't come today.

Update... to top it off, the lone 2 yr old that came today was picked up at 4:00. I usually work until 5:30, so I was off an hour and a half early!!!!

She slept from noon till 3, so I just had her an hour in the afternoon. We were busy with going to my mom's and McDonald's during the morning, so I had a easy day!!! Unfortunately, it's back to reality tomorrow.
