Holy crap, what a morning!

1) I have a daycare family (siblings) on holidays so I had some openings for drop in care. The 17 month old who came for this morning (just this morning) did BRUTAL. SCREAMED for 2 hrs straight, this brutally loud scream after his mom left, and would not let me near him to comfort him.
2) 3 ys old dcg has 2 explosive diarrhea accidents in her pants and basically anything else she was around. Had a difficult time getting ahold of Mom who was in a meeting, but finally did and she was picked up after I showered her (a must)
3) My own 2 yrs old suddenly spiked a high fever and cried on and off the whole morning.
4) I dropped the pot of pasta on the floor and had to quickly make up sandwiches.
5) Catty 6 yrs old girls. (enough said)

The whole morning felt utterly chaotic when usually I run a smooth, seamless transitiong morning. Not to mention I'm pregnant, and had the gagging attack of this century cleaning up the poop.

Holy moly, hoping tomorrow is a MUCH better day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope everyone else had a good morning! I'm exahusted!!!!!!!!!!! !!!

Oh Lou ~ WOW that is a sucky morning for sure ... I will admit the screaming 17 month old is why I would never do drop in care unless it was for a past client who 'knew me and the program' cause for me it is just not worth it to listen to that for an extra days pay :(

Sending smooth sailing afternoon vibes and vibes that no one else catches whatever caused the diarrhea bout for your 3 year old dcg!!!!

Oh wow! That's a baaaaaad morning. I have bad mornings sometimes usually when we are inside due to rain like today and I usually drop things when I'm really tired. All I spilled today was some cottage cheese so not hardly as bad a day as yours Lou, so sorry!

I think I puked in my mouth a bit....I'm preggers too - the whole BM thing - NOT COOL. lol Someone here usually has a BM everyday, and I get gagging, which hubby is in the next room asking - you ok? NO.

Sorry you had a horrid morning. Here's hoping tomorrow is better - TGIF! :) <3
