I am open but I am struggling to make payroll with the new ratios they want us to implement. I have 50 DHS parents and they don’t have to pay if they don’t bring their child yet I have to have a space for them if they do. I’m doing everything that I can do to try to make sure my essential clients can get to work and I don’t have the basic necessities I need. I fight for groceries I fight to get cleaning supplies. I think if we are an essential business that is making many people available to continue working allowing our front liners to be at work we should have a little bit of not only recognition but also help. Wishing someone would step up.
Welcome to my cozy little Blog—a place where I unapologetically untangle my thoughts, parade my so-called wisdom, and occasionally drop nuggets of information you didn’t ask for. Insightful musings? Random ramblings? I’ll write, you decide.

Ghost Town
Brick town while OKC was on lock down. Once the NBA said they were canceling the rest of the games, Shit got real.
Work Force
Where are the adults of the work place? Where are the bread winners and the mature parents of the work force? They sure are not in the hiring pool for daycare workers. That's for sure. I have some great staff members. I also have some shitty ones. And then I have the ones that walk around with a sour puss face cause we don't kiss thier ass.
My Wish for this Boy.
You are such a sweet little boy. You are wild and rough and watchful. You are smart and happy and your open mouth smile transforms your entire face and emulates pure joy whenever you see someone that you love.
You love your siblings very much and I think very soon you and Benji will plot things together that will make your dad laugh and your momma pray. You and Evelyn will have fist fights where you will walk away the hurt one... and you will worship the ground Joanie walks on. I bet you will protect the little brother you are fixing to have, but make sure he never forgets you are the big brother! I believe you will be the biggest, tallest boy in the family and that you will be more handsome then you should be.
Over the last week you are trying to walk, cutting 3 teeth and you have a double ear infection! You aren't sleeping well and neither is anyone else. Your mommy and daddy bought a house and have been moving all your things from one place to another not only during a pandemic, but also during a deluge of rain....and tonight, you will spend your first night in your new house! (update) you did great!
You're 1st first birthday is right in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic so there is no celebration party planned. You didn't get to go to the donut shop with your family and have that special breakfast and I can't take you shopping and get you fun stuff and spend time with just you, as is the tradition. But I did get you some things I thought you’d like.
My wish for you is that you are a person of fortitude. Knowing that there is going to be lot of adjustments to be made throughout your life. Lots of times you will have to just keep going even if it's hard, and I hope you always find the silver lining in things you can't control ... Like the fact that you basically got a new house for you birthday ... And that you have a family that loves you no matter what and a Lolly that loves you even more!
Happy Birthday sweet boy!

Pandemic
We are having a Pandemic right now. It started in China in November and they kept it from the rest of the world until Dec 31. It's a little scary and very stressful. California and New York are both on lock down. Watching the world web cams, I see empty streets. Oklahoma is also pretty quiet. Most are working from home or they are just taking off work and staying isolated.
The daycare is open, but I really want to close. I don't want any of my family subjected to this virus and I really don't want to get it either!
I have been keeping up with it. The stock market is crashing over and over. Businesses are closing. Gas is like .99 a gallon and people are buying out stores! Meat, toilet paper, hand sanitizer, lysol cleaner are hot commodities! Facebook has a whole page dedicated to it.
I am still open because childcare is considered essential. I really want to close. I'm a nervous wreck about it all.
Here are today's numbers:
World wide: 784,413
Total deaths: 37,638
Us Cases: 163.253
Total deaths: 3,167
Recovered: 5,507
Oklahoma: 481
Total deaths: 17
Counties: 47
