Wow! I literally have sweat dripping down the sides of my face and my shirt has absorbed the afternoons "craziness". I have an infant who cries when put down or not being fed, I have a near 2 year old who is deathly afraid of the infant when she cries, so pretty much all day long! he is screaming or crying or both! I have a near 3 year old I am potty training (which is going quite well but) add that to the rest and you have confusion to say the least. Then a 3 year old who IS potty trained but not, "penis pointing down into the toilet" trained. (you can imagine the mess I just had all over the bathroom floor.and a quite surprising (at this moment) very compliant but otherwise quite needy and attention seeking 4 year old who is attempting to lay quietly while three little ones scream around her.
oops, forgot the crying 8 month old.
In the midst of the sweat and screaming, pee and diapers and blankets...the door rings...jehovahs witnesses stopping for a quick chat, I answer the door to tell them"def not today" and they look at me in terror!! "we can see you are very busy!" with out a word from me, they turn and walk away! even a jahovah doesn't want to come in my house right now!!!!!
and here I stand, sweaty but strong! loving my job but hating it all at the same time! If I any less a woman I would be curled up in a closet right now with a bottle of booz sucking my thumb. But....I can handle this, I can handle anything! I am a Day Care Provider.....once again, I DARE, anyone to try and succeed at this job ANY given day of the week! .................... ...now to the couch for a 5 minute breather!!!!! WEW!
The many faces of the Day Care lady!
