Funny Reggio, sounds just like a family I just rid of too, and I also had a count down. Some people just have quirks that can bug you to no end. This Mom was also a "loud" talker and would laugh really loudly in the am when dropping her son. We knew each other really well from church before he started care, knew each others families, so we would on occasion "chat" a little at the door. I think she was bi-polar or something, because some days she would be real normal tone and we would have a nice "adult" chat, and other days she was like a drunk clown, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! she would laugh really loud and uncontrolably at something I said (that I didnt think was funny) it freaked me out and woke my entire family, funny you say that about your husband because my husband HATED this woman, she annoyed him so much. The boy became school age and she was a teacher, so he left for good this summer. wew!
