Starting to feel at home...
Monday morning venting!
School buses are cancelled here due the weather here. NOOOO! What im i going to do activitiy wise are plan was to go to play group today but due the older ones here i cant do that. So i dont know what to do? Second of all my oldest dk came in this morning she said she has her own lunch today. Great now my picky eater wont eat because the oldest has her own lunch. And what gets me is the oldest dks mom probally thinks because she sent her with a lunch thinks that shes only going to pay before and after care. I dont think so! (moms lazy and doesnt get out of the car so i have to text or email her). I think im done with before and after school kids. What a lovely start to the week!

I wouldn't say this is a great day for going out to playgroup anyways. Too slippery for trusting traffic at intersections etc. I would have been staying home anyways regardless of if extra kids were there. This close to Christmas put on a seasonal movie and make popcorn or something. It is very much a cuddle up day.
I only have one today and if the weather continues they plan to leave about noon so could be a really slow day for me. Worried about one of my parents though as she fell on her steps coming out of her house and actually passed out so now hubby is staying home to keep an eye on her. I am on call for taking the child if need be.

That's awful! I hope she is okay! This is why I don't go out in this weather,,,imagine if a daycare provider slips and falls and passes out with five kids...really bad scenario

Oh no ~ that would not be how I wanted to start a new week either ... can you whip up some 'Christmas play doh' to keep them busy?
Children construct their own intelligence. The adult must provide activities and context, but most of all must be able to listen. Children need proof that adults believe in them. Their three great desires are to be listened to, to understand, and to demonstrate that they are exactly what we expect."

For the one that has her lunch I would tell her she can save it for school tomorrow cause everyone eats the same thing for lunch .... Then send the lunch home !

Sorry to hear about your lousy start to the week. I agree with crayola, send her lunch home with her. How about popping in a Christmas movie for the older ones?

I will be letting them watch a christmas movie while the little ones nap(if they can sit and the little ones sleep) right so far so good they are playing with playdough. Hopefully it stays like this wednesday ill have all of them again due to the teachers strike here in ontario.

I'm in the same boat as you sweeteness .... But my own two school age plus my school age dcg play well with the younger one and organize games to play ..... I find it mixes things up a bit for the ones that are here all day ..... So I kind of like the opportunity to spend the day with my kids too.

I am down to 2 dck's mainly due to illness, but my own son is home...we would not have gone out today even if buses were running...way too dangerous...even walking, if I were to slip and fall and hurt myself, who is going to be there to take care of the kids? I brought my ride-on cars in and cleaned them up yesterday in anticipation and right now the kids are happily riding around the playroom (I have a big playroom). Later we will do some crafts and playdough as well. I am actually happy to have a break from the school run and an excuse to just stay in and not have to dress all those kids up

Well, I have my two school aged kids home tomorrow because our school board is striking and holding a walk out so school is cancelled. Fortunatly they are my two so will join in with the daycare kids and hang out in their bedrooms.
