So I gave the daycare kids notice on Wednesday, and now I just muddle through the last of the days until they have to find someone new. Luckily - next week is a short week anyway, with us leaving Tuesday night for the sisters wedding. But I think that Lily’s last day is today, as her Dad told me this morning to call if I ever get back into the business. :) Uhhhh, okay…see ya! 
That’s fine though…you’re supposed to give a ten day notice, but I told them to cut and run as soon as they found someone else. I was on my mommy message board this morning, and they were ripping some lady about wanting to use natural wipes at daycare…..that it was too inconvienient for the daycare lady. Ummmm….hello? You pay out the ears for daycare up here, (upwards of $300 per week at centers…) so if I want them to fry my kids poached eggs in the morning they better. Daycare providers are like the holy grail or something…don’t make them mad, don’t make them work…..I appreciate it but you’re paying SO MUCH. I don’t know - it goes both ways. I just wish Mommy’s would be supportive of Mommy’s regardless of whether they breast feed or bottle feed, use diapers or cloth ones…..it’s hard work and we should celebrate each other.
Wow….off on a tangent…..anyway - the kids parents took it really well that I was quitting. They were sad, but nice. I’m so looking forward to having my life back. I feel like I have a real direction and purpose for the first time in a long time. I have one job now, and it’s to take care of Grant, and my husband. I am hoping that I can do a much better job now that I know what my job is. Those faithful in little will be given much, and I know how all this sounds. If I were reading this I would think, you don’t doooo anything. You’re dumb. But for me…keeping the house clean, getting food on the table, growing Grant….it’s all work. I never picked up after myself as a kid okay…I’m a spoiled brat, I just struggle with self discipline. So that’s my goal of the next year. Become self disciplined.
Our plan is in action, and it feels good.
I’m so glad you ended something causing you so much distress! Good for you!
I think most people understand how hard it is being an at-home mom. And I appreciate what you’re doing for Grant’s future. He’s going to grow into a healthy, well balanced young boy/man because you’re spending so much time with him, helping him learn and grow!
We can’t wait to see all of you!
