I am definateley updating my contract and my payment policies because this is not going to happen to me again, I am so screwed for this month. For the life of me I don't know why I don't have e-mail contact info for this family although I don't know what good that would do since apparently they are camping. I tried calling their cell phones and texting and no luck but maybe they are out of cell phone range. I'm going to contact my bank today and see what kind of info they can give me. It just doesn't fit with this family that they would just leave...
Thanks everyone for your input I'll see what happens when they get back... they are supposed to be back on Monday. I already put up some ads and if by chance I do get the 2 spaces filled (which I doubt kinda hard to do during the Summer months) guess they will be looking for other Daycare!
