Today's Goodbyes When Death Separates Us.

Today isn't the worst day of your life.  Today and tomorrow... it's a cake walk.  There'll be people around you day in and day out like their afraid to leave you alone.
The worst day?  That's next week, when there's nothing but quiet.

Sleep is better then a tummy ache

I fell asleep at 10:00.... so now it's 2:41 and I'm wide awake.  What's that about?  I get up and have some milk and it upsets my stomach. So basically I am not the smartest person at 2 in the morning because just the other day I told Dennis that I have noticed when I drink milk it upsets my stomach. Any normal person would then, refrain from drinking milk.  *sigh*  I should have just rolled over and went back to sleep!♡

I'm SHOOK!!! John just bought me a Van!

Wth just happened?!

Today...John, my Builder/landlord bought me this van!  I was in complete and utter shock!  Like speechless,
couldn't concentrate,
couldn't sit still,
couldn't eat,
couldn't get work done,
kept getting up to look at it in the parking lot...
SHOCK!

Back Story:   About a month ago, John was at the daycare checking on things and asked why one of my after school rooms didn't have kids in it.  I explained that I had just paid off a van and bought another one and I was going to wait until this summer to buy another van.

Today John calls me and asked me if I was going to be at work for a while and that he had something to bring me.  I teased him and asked:  Is it eviction papers?  Cause I don't want those! lol  He laughed and said no.  So we hung up and I went back to doing work.

He shows up and hands me keys.  He says:  "Here are the keys to your van."  I look at him.. "why do you have keys to my van?   He says:  "Your new van."  I stand up and look out the window and sure enough there is a van out there in my parking lot!

He starts talking, meanwhile my mind is racing ahead....I'm trying to figure out how I need to do the paperwork...who's going to drive it...what the payment will be....  but his voice breaks into my crazy thoughts... "there is no lien on it I paid cash for it.

*blink*

I asked" how much was it?"  He says $20,000.  I asked,  "So you want me to just tack the payment onto the lease payment?"  He laughs and says no... then tells me that the title will be sent to me next week and I can put it in my name or the company's name... "yeah... but how do I pay for this?" He said... Don't worry about that.  Just fill up that room!
Then he told me told me to get insurance on it!

I am SHOOK!

Forever Moving Forward

Yes I am still trying to figure out what more I need to do at the daycare. I’m already license for 177... so why not make the most of every room that I have? I mean letting a room stay empty that could be bringing me a revenue of 10 grand a month is stupid right? The problem I’m having is, it takes money to make money and I am out of money! So I guess maybe doing something in small doses or a little at a time would be the best thing to do right now.  That and it would need to be a double room!  UGh the issues I can see happening right before my eyes! lol 

However, getting back on track here....  I have a lot of  People wanting to bring their children and I feel like I need to get this done before summer.

Summer!!

That brings more obstacles I have to jump over... which is buying a van. I know Yukon is growing... so I should always stay full, but it's still a scary thing to do and a scary situation to find oneself in.  Paying the teachers more so that I can keep them is a great incentive!  I really want to offer them insurance and PTO and holiday pay too. 

Surely I can figure this out! 

Well, I have very little time to ... infact.. to figure this out!  I am going to have carpet put in quickly so that I can move kids around.  I am just thankful that I have people to help me!  Its really hard to do this type of work alone like when we first opened!  It goes much smoother now!
