    This is me as well - I am a morning person and am in bed before 10pm.

    Personally I think that as long as 'communication' around this sort of thing is clear there should not be an issue if the provider is in their pajamas for those clients whose kids are arriving at 6am or what not - seriously some providers offer care 12 hours a day if they had to be up and 'ready' before 5 am in order to do that well they would NOT being doing it ... like me I am an early bird but I value that time to MYSELF I would not want kids here at 6am just because I am up anyway!

    It's funny that this post came up again . . . . . . CUUUUUUUUZ I slept in ysterday!. MY GOD! I was devastated. After the whole conversion a couple weeks ago convincing her that I HAVE BEEN AWAKE for at least 45 min before arrival every day and that the sleeping in that one time was a one shot week that had been hell for me I FREAKIN' SLEPT IN! Supposedly I got up and turned my alarm off. Hubby said that I asked what time he had to get up and then just rolled back over. I don't remember that.

    Anyways when the buzzer rang I jumped up and went to the door and said quite honestly that she had caught me and I wasn't sure what had happened and really had no excuse. She laughed it off and told me not to worry because she had a hard time getting up that morning too.

    PHEW!!!!!!!

    I was so embarassed

    Flex - do you have a Family Dr cause sometimes when we get TOO anemic no amount of oral supplements are going to help because we can only absorb so much at one time before passing it on through digestion unabsorbed into the blood stream ... however they do have Iron shots given by injection at the Dr's which goes directly into the blood stream and by passing the digestion part which can help get you back to levels where 'oral supplements' can keep you where you need to be?

    I know I have had to go this route in the past for both Vitamin B and Iron .

    Yeah. I know I should probably be doing that. Unfortunately I lost my family doctor to a sabbatical last year (he was an idiot anyways) and I can't find a doctor that is open saturdays. I can't afford to be taking time off to go to the doctor for the blood work, follow-up, and then the shots. I also have too many families relying on my daily.

    I do feel good when I take my pills regularly, but thinking back realize that I haven't taken very many in the last week.

    I don't know that sleeping in that day was due to this. I really don't want to make any excuses but I'll be getting back on my regime and paying closer attention to my alarm clock in the next week

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
