I'm a posting fool!

I'm obviously new to this whole blogging thing. Not even sure how to work all of the features. But, I decided I needed a place to just sort of lay it all out there. Sort of an outlet. Yes, my grammar isn't great and my spelling isn't either. You get the picture!

I'm so excited to say that we're almost done with dh doing 3rd shift! It's been an adjustment, that's for sure. We're so thankful that it is almost over! Can't wait to have my husband here every night in bed with me where he belongs. We pulled through it a lot better than I thought we would. I have to admit I wasn't thrilled at all when we got the news of his new 'temporary' position. Fingers crossed that he'll really and truly be done with it after this week. I'll believe it when I see it!

I have so much on my mind today. Trying to prepare for a week of daycare kids, working on getting things ready for my own kids to go back to school and working things out in my head about my daycare business in general. Not sure where we're headed with it. But, I've had so many calls and people approaching me. There is a definite need for care around here, especially for infants and toddlers. Of course, being unlicensed you can only have so many children in your care legally. In order to provide top quality care and stay within the legal limits I do choose to keep my numbers fairly low. I've considered getting licensed, but in this house it isn't a possibility. If I were to get a license while here we wouldn't be able to allow daycare kids upstairs to play or sleep. That would greatly limit our space for the children. Right now I love that the kids can rest upstairs in the comfort of a bedroom with quiet. The parents are all ok with it and that works for me!

I'm currently blessed with a great group of daycare kids. I couldn't ask for better families to work with. The kids are sweet, fun and just a joy to have. The parents that I provide care for right now are all so appreciative, kind and grateful. There is no better job than what I'm doing right now. I get the best of both worlds. I'm doing what I love by teaching, mentoring and caring for children and I'm still able to be home with my own children as well.
