More Toilet paper!

Whoa to the Coronavirus!   It's not just a beer anymore...  It's a scary thing and all the toilet paper and hand sanitizer is gone. What is going to happen when I need to take my daily shit!??   I have been reading about it off and on...not cause I am paranoid or going to start (or join)  pandemonium .. but just trying to stay ahead of it mainly cause I have staff.  I will take my mom some hand sanitizer when I go there again.  Seems like the older generation is suffering with this and I worry for my mom.  It's basically a pneumonia and she can't get that!  I have always been careful not to take her anything I might have caught while being at a daycare... but this is something I don't want either!  Right now I think a lot of it might be more scare then facts, but I still don't want any part of it!  I saw some interesting things and wonder if any of it is true....

Grow up!

Gone are the days of quietness and drear.  The last two weeks have been challenging to say the lease and I am also to the point of no return.  Weekends can't get here soon enough our last long enough. Why are grown ass women still able to throw such tantrums.  I wear a lot of hats , but I don’t wear a ref uniform. How do you tell someone to act their age in a professional way?  I guess I could just call her mom and tattle!  Sheesh!  At least we would be on the same playing field!

It's Your Job

Why do women post mean things about men when they break up.  Even if they are assholes....
When picking a man... women need to take responsibility for the bad ones too. He might have snuck in the door and fooled you at first... but its you that accepted that first date, and then the second date.

You're suppose to do your PI work and talk to friends, and coworkers and family.  IF not to protect yourself, to protect your children.

Does he treat his mother well?
Does he treat his children well?
How does he talk about his ex? 
Does he pay child support or make a phone call to his own kids, and not just on the special occasions?

It's you that decides to introduce him to your family.  To your friends.  And to your children.  It's you that notices when things aren't quite right,  but choose to ignore it anyway and still move in with him thinking that you two will become a family even though it's you that continue to do most all things alone.

Still working full time to only split the bills and doing the house work with little to no help from him, and running the kids to places he never wants to go or participate in.  Why are you not seeing these signs?

It could literally save you years of heartbreak and self confidence.

It's you that allow this man to discipline for your children or notice there is no bonding happening or family trips.

And it's on you if you're allowing it for days, weeks, months or years, thinking it would get better or he would change.

Yeah he may be a jerk, but it's your responsibility to know the limits not just for you , but for your children.  It's your job to make better decisions.  And if you think it's all his fault... you have already failed your job.

Learning more then a Tablet can Teach

I got to hang out with my little grandbabies last night. Sammi and Danny came over so thier mommy and daddy could go out to eat.  They are such little joys to be with. I’m impressed with how smart they are.  I have a tablet here that has games for them on it and she was breezing through it!  She even let Danny have a turn.  They are kind to each other even while learning to share.  I didn’t learn this being ‘like’ an only child.  They learn not to be selfish and that the world doesn’t revolve around them when they grow up with each other.  Hopefully they will always be this sweet, smart and kind to each other.  

I work too much

I was thinking today....

I work too much.  And even when I am home or on the weekends, I am constantly working.  Always trying to improve something... the daycare ...the website... the staff.  Constantly worrying over it.  Wanting everyone to be happy and well cared for.. or paid well, or treated fairly or leaving happy!  I worry too much.

I work too much

I have not had a vacation since the summer of 2013, the summer before I opened.  I need a vacation.  I need to get away from the grind.... but I worry someone will need me and I won't be there to fix it or help them or put out a fire...... or  manage something!

How do you stop?  How do you make other people care about something your passion about?  Whats the secret?  Could I take just a week....ONE WEEK??

No phone? No email?  No bills?  No payroll? Pace myself... it's a long road still.
