    I hate days like that. For a while there my daughter was getting up from 12am to 4am!!!! she thought it was play time!. it was a pattern for three months!!!! we couldn't find a way to get her to SLEEP! I was a zombie! I even had a parent tell me she was concerned and might pull her kid because she thought she was waking me up with the door bell because I looked so ragged. LOL al the parents knew what was going on . . . . I as full at that time (6 everyday including mine). it was the worst!!!!!!

    apples: I had a parent call me this week and tell me her son woke up early so they waned to come a half hour early. I didn't even know what to say to her. What?!? You have an issue spending some time with your own kid? This is a mom who brings her kid while on mat leave (full time . . . ). she brought me a stinking miserable child. She pawned her kid on me because she didn't wanna deal with him!!!! I open up at 8 but her drop is 9am. I don't want to have her little on dropped on me because she doesn't wanna deal . . . but what do you say? I was shocked she even asked so I gave her a weird oooooooooooooook I guess . . . .

    Ughh. Ridiculous. Unfortunately for me, my first one gets dropped off 5 minutes after I unlock my doors. I don't even have time for an uninterrupted coffee most days. By the time I'm done dealing with my own kids, ding dong goes the doorbell. I find the same thing with parents. I'm open at 7:30, close at 5:00, and I have these kids from when I open right until when I close.

    Then first drop off dcm looks at me this morning and says, "Can you brush his teeth for me after lunch from now on?"
