Complaint: SO SICK!

[sunnydays]

I hope you feel better soon! It really sucks to be sick while taking care of children because they don't understand and sill have all the same needs! I would take a day off too if I were you...you sound like you need it! By the way, I am curious to know how your 2.5 year old needs more attention than the toddlers? In my daycare it is the opposite...when the toddlers are napping and I have just the 2-3 year olds I can sit down and sip a cup of tea and relax a bit as they play well on their own and understand more when I tell them I am too tired to read to them etc (if I am sick). It is the under 2 year olds who require the most attention, supervision, discipline, etc. Your 2.5 year old should be capable of playing on his own!

I only have one 2 year old. The rest are under 16 months so when they're napping, it's just me and the 2.5 year old. He has an older brother at home, so I don't think he has a lot of time to play alone. He does play alone, but not for too long. I am DESPERATELY seeking another child his age so that I can sit down and have a cup of tea. Tea sounds NICE lol

I did end up closing. But it was at 6:30 in the morning. I woke up and literally felt like I was going to die. I had called my mom to come and help, but when I woke up I was crying I felt so badly. I called my families and apologized profusely (just bc of what had been going on recently) and they all understood. My mom still came and took care of my son cause I couldn't even get out of bed. Luckily, I have three personal days, so I called on one of those

Better now though!! Thanks ladies for being so awesome!
