daycare...ugh!

I worked at the daycare today...which was a total nightmare! I only work there when Ashley is really short handed. Of course...the girl I had to open with was 15 minutes late...and I didn't have a key (what a way to start the morning). We had 2 or 3 parents outside waiting for daycare to open when she decided to show up for work. This girl is AT LEAST 15 minutes late everyday...and instead of firing her...my sister makes excuses for her. I seriously wish Ashley would just sell half the daycare to me...we could be partners...and none of the stuff the employees get away with would happen. After she arrives 15 minutes late, one of the parents...who is a northerner...and pretty much says whatever is on her mind....told her to "hurry your (talking to the girl who was late) little butt up and get in the daycare...I'm going to be late for work." haha!! I loved it!! I just looked at the parent...who I know fairly well...and just said...I know...she's 15 minutes late and I'm pissed. So...we finally get out of the freezing cold...and she just stands there...does absolutely nothing with the kids...and talks on her cell phone the whole time. It was actually humorous...because I know she was talking about me...(probably to her mom)...because she would try to hide and like whisper. oh well. Anyway. Until Ashley got there we had 16 kids and 2 teachers that were pissed off at eachother. It took me until during nap time to even talk to her. I didn't want to fuss at her for being late...I felt that it wasn't really my place...because I don't work there on a regular basis. But...she just left me there...absolutely helpless. It would have been different if she had an emergency. She knew she had to work this morning the same time I did. Another thing that really bothered me today...was 2 of the other workers didn't work because they couldn't get out. Ok...if you drive a 4 wheel drive truck...and a 4 wheel drive Ford Escape...you should be able to get out. I drive a Chevy Aveo for crying out loud...and my hill is a bitch to get up and down...especially in 5 inches of snow. I dunno...sometimes I feel sorry for my sister...and then other times...I realize she has pretty much brought this on herself.

On a positive note...I made Isaac laugh out loud today! :) I was really excited about it. But...of course...everytime I tried to show Ashley...he wouldn't do it. oh well.
