busy, busy, busy

Well I haven't posted for a good reason. I HAVE A JOB! I haven't been home to post. I got the job I interviewed for and have been training this week. I won't be able to look online while I'm at work so I don't know how much I'll be around.

My kids started day care this week and we made the mistake of signing them up for somewhere that could take both of them. That was stupid because my initial instincts were screaming NO! to this place. I didn't see anything terrible I just knew. My husband went there in the middle of the day Mon. and Tues. and noticed the kids were outside all day. (my kids sunburn easily and the daycares are not allowed to apply sunscreen) They went in for short breaks, but that was it. On Tuesday when they put my daughter down for a nap she started crying so the teacher put her in the hall so she wouldn't wake the other children. (The teacher actually told me she did this) We asked my son about it and he told us he saw her sleeping in the hallway with no adults around. They are not going back.

This morning I got up and called the daycare I wanted her to go to and they took her right in. I walked in there and just knew it was the right place. She had a blast. They even put her hair in pigtails. When I came home I didn't recognize her. I actually looked at her and wondered who this little girl was who was in my house. Then I realized it was my noodle. It was funny.

My son spent the day with a friend who has agreed to watch him for the rest of the week. I have to hit up my parents for next week and then he will spend the summer at our school's summer program.

This has been a busy week to say the least.

Gotta love those mama instincts! Congrats on the job! Are you enjoying it? I'm jealous. I would love to have a different job for a while and be around GROWN-UPS!

Mama radar beats all - good for you for fixing the situation so quickly! The inconvenience will be worth it when you come home to happy kids.

Yep, those mommy instincts should have been listend too. They are much happier out of there.

I'm afraid I didn't take any pics of her hair that way and when I tried to do it they didn't come out right. She made me take them out because I didn't do as good a job as her teacher. :)
