(((sillyatheart))) ive done day care for 33 years now its just the grandkids i know what your saying

Good evening all. Just got back from Outback Steakhouse with my girls, Todd and his parents. We are stuffed like ticks on a dog ready to burst! We leave tomorrow morning. I have to wait until around 11:00 a.m. and then we are off in the wind. Heading to Wanda and Allen!

HURRARY

Silyatheart3...I used to run a day care and boy am I glad I am done with that. I graduated to middle school kids now. LOL

There hasn't been one day that I was sad I gave up the daycare. I like getting dressed up and going to work and coming home to just home. I always hated when a parent was late and it always happened.

better you then me i find thing's to do and day care is not on my list thank god my kid's drive me crazy

Got up early, I guess anticipation! The worry of leaving my girls alone for a week? Well I did all of the laundry up, dishes done, floors swept, food in frige, gas in cars, money in hands. I have my mom coming over and checking on them, but I am still nervous about leaving them. I have been looking forward to this since January and now that the time is here I am nervous. I have NEVER been away from them for more than one day. The girls are 16.5 and 19. They are both exceptional children with good morals but one can't help but worry about them.

I almost forgot good morning everyone! We get our new pals soon!!! Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend and week ahead of them.

Good morning ((((((((((((PALS)))))))))))))))!

Good Morning Secret Pals

well tonight is day 3 of the new job. I didn't really think it would be this physically demanding on my body, I mean I walk everyday and would have thought that even though I am a big girl I am not in that bad of shape.

Almost every muscle in my body aches well I am gonna get some new shoes today so hopefully that will end the leg and feet pain....well at least I hope it does.

Sherry (DFT) Thank you soooo much for the wonderful letter of encouragement, it came at the right time Have a safe trip out to Wanda. Tell Todd he must drive carefully since he is carrying precious cargo with him (you)

Oh Wanda I know that you are gonna miss those little ones something terrible it will be christmas vacation before you know and they will be back again. Have lots of fun with Sherry and Todd and remember take lots of pictures for all of us to see

good afternoon (((pals))) i recived a lovely letter yesterday from sherry ((dragonfly))) thank you so much made me feel so speical

Hi Pals! I have not really been around much lately...under the weather. I have not sent out my secret pal gift for July yet. I did contact her and let her know...and I feel bad about it! I'll get that out as soon as I get feeling better. I have pneumonia, and I haven't felt like doing ANYTHING lately.




Neither have I, but then I still haven't sent mine out either, so I can't really talk! Maybe yours has pneumonia too!

Good morning (((((((((((((PALS)))))))))))))))!

(((Toots)))...I can relate...I had pneumonia once when my girls were very little, (I thought I was on my death bed, it was the sickest I've been in all my life). Take care and get well!

(((((Goodmorning Pals!)))))
