This is going to be a long day
Just need to vent a little.
I have been fighting a head cold since last Thursday, but still well enough to be open. I have informed all my parents (both of them) that I am open but its up to them if they bring their kids. My before and after school dad, kept his son home last Thursday and Friday, But had to bring him this Monday, Tuesday and this morning, keeping him home tonight. I really do appreciate this. My other daycare dad has brought his daughter very day, her mom could have picked her up early on a few of the days, but no, dad has to do the pick up a 6pm. I understand they have they have to work, but come on the mom can pick the girl up early.
All the parents have been warned that we are going to be having quiet days, some tv in the mornings (so not a morning person), a short 30 min play time in the back court yard the rest of the time will be free play inside. They are all okay with this.
I got up this morning and had no voice at all. By the time the dcg arrived I could whisper but that's all. My 3yr son and the 3yr old have been fighting all morning and all I can do is whisper. So they haven't been listening to me, so I pulled out my whistle. That made them stop and listen, but now they want to play with the whistle. My head starting spinning about an hour ago spinning and feels like its going to float away. I have call the girls dad, no answer, same with the mom (who doesn't speak English) I have left them both messages saying one of them have to come pick up their daughter. If it was just my voice them I would just manage to get through the day. If my head was spinning before the parents had arrived I would have closed for the day. I have a feeling that they are going to ignore the messages and not pick her up until 6pm. If I am still little headed by the time they get here I will tell them I am closed tomorrow, if feeling better then will be open tomorrow.
Its going to be an indoor, tv kind of day. My throat is way to sore to read stories or sing songs this really sucks. i really hate having the tv on during the day, but I just can think straight and am butting all my energy into making sure the kids are safe.:(
it looks like both my boys and my husband now have the cold as well.
