I love long weekends but when Monday comes the dck's are completely insane. Not listening. One isn't napping because they don't make her at home. I am losing it. I work so hard to have them on a schedule and good behaviors and they come back completely undone. So frustrating.

Totally hear you.... I love long weekends but when Monday comes the dck's are completely insane. Not listening. One isn't napping because they don't make her at home. I am losing it. I work so hard to have them on a schedule and good behaviors and they come back completely undone. So frustrating.
Every time I complain after a long weekend, my DH says "Well, YOU let them go home".

Oh yes, I can relate too! I almost wish I didn't have any time off! (almost)
My extremely strong-willed 2 yo dcg hit 3 1/2 yo dcg 4x before 9:30. I was ready to hog-tie her. Good thing she's so darn adorable.
The last time she did it I had them all ready for painting so as soon as she hit her again, I made her leave the table. She was some upset when she realized she couldn't participate.

My hitter is back at it today. I just got him trained!!! I really feel like an arse today because I have my mean face on all day.

Mine are like zombies....all were ready for nap when they got here.....No one gets a nap any place except at daycare

Mine were zombies too. All but one fell asleep at the lunch table.

Hardest here was the 4m old who is held/co sleeps at home and doesn't nap more than 30min. Here I have her down to 2 naps for 1-2 hours. She definitely screamed at me for an hour about her distaste for the pac n play. Luckily for nap 2 she seems to be ok.
Kids are actually playing pretty well. I switched out all the smaller toys and got a super cute pop up gingerbread tent that the kids are loving. I think tomorrow will be harder for big kid behavior. Today they are in new toy heaven

I may or may not have brought DS' teacher some leftover chocolate cake this morning as a way to say sorry for the way he's going to act today...

I was exhausted by noon...we had a hair-cutting incident, multiple milk and food spills, toys EVERYWHERE, hitting, crying, toy-taking, running inside...AND it rained all day long.
The only thing we didn't have were potty accidents and that was just sheer luck.

my daughter has been home for 5 days straight now: Thanksgiving followed by pinkeye (we were allowed to go today, but ket her home an extra day just in case). I do not envy her teacher tomorrow: kid's got a severe case of cabin fever... and I have finals, so keeping her longer is not an option anymore: my tests will turn into a pumpkin if I don't take them on time.

Today went pretty well, but we had several call off. They should be back tomorrow, so that is a 5 day weekend for a few! 
I have a feeling tomorrow is going to be rough.

My day started with the 2yr old screaming like a banshee. And the highlight was when dcg4 got poop all over her pants and shirt. She forgot how to wipe her own butt!

As an exclusively part-time daycare I go through this every week

About half my kids came on Friday for at least part of the day, but the other half had some real trouble yesterday. And some today.
