    Thanks for the tips! gcj, I just tried the doing some chores for about 20mins thing, and I feel really good about it! I still have some rest time, and the house is looking better. It's not perfect, but at least my evening when dh comes home should be more enjoyable. I really appreciate that tip. I had always felt like if I did cleaning during nap time, I would lose out on my rest time, but I now see that doesn't have to be the case! Thank you! Now we'll see if he notices anything different or not when he gets home! LOL.

    The cure to my spouses 'noticing' if I missed picking up a toy or crumb under the snack table is to have him COVER for me and see how well he can manage keeping the house tip top while chasing after 5 children all day long feeding them, changing them and keeping them safe ... in fact my spouse just did this yesterday for me for a couple hours while I ran to the lab for some blood work and I returned home to find morning snack mess and clothes just abandoned still on the table when it was almost lunch time and the toys had blown up all over the playroom and he was doing some art with them without having 'cleaned up' the toys first ~ so I took the kids outside for fresh air while HE cleaned up the mess from when he was on duty and last night I got a nice long back massage and a thank you for all the hard work I do

    Every time he starts to 'forget' and dares to comment on something I arrange to need his help covering for something to remind him that while I may make it LOOK easy in his opinion it is not REALLY easy so he should be helping out more around the house
    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."

    LOL! The problem with my dh is that he probably WOULD do a better job than I do. He loves organizing, cleaning, etc. It's almost like he gets a high off of it. Me, on the other hand... not so much! lol. Plus when he cleans, he does it better in like a quarter of the time it takes me. The last thing I need is he looking at me like 'See? It's not so hard to clean as you go."

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
Updates
We expect providers to keep their listing and available openings up-to-date. However, to prevent oversights, openings expire after 45 days.
