CLOSED TODAY...
GOOD FRIDAY..
I went out with a few girlfriends.. had a few beers...and saw a favorite TEXAS COUNTRY MUSIC SINGER that I love..
MAX STALLING
Had a great night.. had a designated driver... etc..
Come home.. determined to sleep late... woke at 5:18 a.m. of course.. but FORCED myself to fall back to sleep...
I dreamed that I woke up.. came walking in to daycare room...
My two daughters... one that does still actually live at home with me so that part was realistic..
but... my other daughter is married and lives a few miles away... in dream she was here...
they were in daycare room.. along with two babies...
One baby that actually DOES attend my daycare..
and another total stranger kid...
I say.. WHAT?????
why are these kids here? THIS IS MY DAY OFF...!!! why are they here?
my older daughter starts explaining why this strange kid is here...
She says this is my friends kid.. and she needed a daycare today.. I told her about your daycare so she brought him for the day...
I'm like what the & % b^ ????
NO.. I'm CLOSED TODAY.. Holiday..
I grab the phone and tell her.. you call her .. right now.. tell her this daycare is CLOSED TODAY..
I wasn't even in here.. what were you thinking??
Then I ask about the other baby..
why is HE HERE?
My younger daughter says.. We don't know mom...
she just came in.. sat him down.. signed him in.. and left.. we thought you KNEW...
you THOUGHT I KNEW..? I was IN BED... there are NO OTHER KIDS HERE!!
it is written RIGHT THERE on the dry erase board... on THE DOOR..
CLOSED.. GOOD FRIDAY...
I was livid...
stomping around...
trying to get my phone so I could call/text the mom of the child that IS enrolled in my daycare...
Astonished that my HOLIDAY day off could be going so wrong..
Then I woke up..
and ..
I have a headache!!!
Great...
It MUST be sinus...
wink wink..

LOL! Nope, never had a dream like that but I would probably wake up angry too!

I did get up this morning, make coffee and head to the shower before I realized "hey! I am closed today!"

So I sat down on the sofa with my coffee and I am still sitting here in my PJ's.

Hope you are enjoying your day off too!

I'm sitting at my desk.. in my daycare room... drinking coffee.. alternating between the forum page...
FACEBOOK..
My email...
and shopping on Zulily...

Waiting for my dear husband to wake up... (second shift worker)

wondering what on EARTH I'm going to do with my day...
before.. and after he leaves for work again at 3 p.m..

I had planned on a pedicure later... I have a gift certificate.. given to me a few weeks ago by my dear younger daughter...

BUT... I stumped my toe during the night... I haven't actually looked yet to see if it is still attached...
but.. I'm sure I won't be getting a pedicure now

That would cause me to panic.

I'm still in my pajamas, too.

I have a similar recurring nightmare - there are kids in my playroom and I don't know who they are, don't know when they're being picked up, and don't know how to reach their parents.

I have had a similar dream:

Gave everyone notice back in October that I would be closed Christmas Eve THROUGH New Years Day.

I had dreamed that a daycare kids showed up at my door and the mom said she had to work, had no one else to watch him, etc. and I was forced into watching this kid. I was madder than a hornet because I said NO, kept repeating NO and she just got in her car and left!

The next morning, I wake up to what I thought was someone pounding on my front door. I thought, "You've got to be kidding me!". Cell phone started ringing! It was the DCM I dreamed about. I went downstairs in my pajamas, no glasses, etc. She said, "Oh $h!t! I didn't read the whole email. I thought you were only closed the holidays! I'll find someone to watch him!"

I was so mad that I got woke up on a day off because of stupidity!

I've never had that dream but I have had dreams in which I was open and caring for my dc kids all night long. I usually wake up feeling totally exhausted before my day has even begun!
