Sounds like you need a cyber coffee chat and vent LOL! Thank goodness for this forum. It is our "Cyber Water Cooler" that we all need to vent, discuss, laugh.

I used to get so annoyed when parents had the day off and chose to send their child to care anyway. Now, I don't want to know. They pay me to do a service, which I do. I don't need to know if they are off to the spa, getting their hair done or spending time at home to catch up on baking for the holidays. Try not to let it get to you. Hard I know, but what are you going to do. I'm sure their little ones would love to spend the day with mom baking. Her loss. That would have made some good family memories.

Hope the rest of your day goes more smoothly. Are you closing for the entire week of Christmas? Enjoy the break and lets hope we can all recharge our batteries over the holidays. this is a very difficult (and often) unappreciative job that we are doing.
