New Direction

I haven't blogged in FOREVER, I know, I'm sorry. I finally got out of a job that for me, was very rough. I have been battling with poor communication and drama for over a year and I finally just couldn't take it anymore. I was having emotional breakdowns almost every night at work. So, I decided to FINALLY follow God's desire and venture into the daycare business.


I am not going to say that because it was God's path, it was easy. Cause it has been an emotional roller coaster. We are still ironing out the kinks but we are getting there. It is a lot of hurry up and wait and then a lot of oh, we need to add this into our policy book cause this will NOT work for us. Yep, I said we and us. Learned at the beginning of the month that I could not have a daycare operating in my apartment because of city codes. Oh well, I got my apartment to the state I have wanted it since moving in. But this left me with a dilemma .. where to hold this daycare?! My good friend went to me with the daycare orientation and we decided then and there to open a group daycare. Today was the first day that we started to run it together as we wait for the licensing. We were quick to figure out the first set of things that need to be changed and that was when to do menus. LOL. I am sure as we get through this week, we will find a few more things here and there that need tweaked. But I am very excited. The kids seem to be doing great as well. My two came home and got started on their bedroom that they got trashed during the sleepover. As I made dinner, they got their chores done. I then finished setting up food for tomorrow to make things run faster. We got our evening routine completely done and kids in bed by 9:15pm. They were out shortly thereafter. YAY! I am waiting for the homemade zucchini bread to finish cooking and I will hit the hay. Need to wake early enough tomorrow to jump in the shower before a child shows up. Then we are packing everything up and heading over to Olathe for day 2. I have to say that I am VERY glad I switched jobs but will be 100% happier when the kinks of starting a business iron out!
