I color it red if it has a coupon. I bought one of those cheap plastic picture albums that is really thin to hold my coupons, labeled each section an aisle, along with expiring, and shopping coupons sections so I can find them easily. I can email it to you if you want and then you can change it for the store you use the most.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18350071883181030442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7158656183600303042.post-3519502325067722352008-09-12T23:21:00.000-05:002008-09-12T23:21:00.000-05:00Let me know how it goes!

I swear, I just found your blog randomly from the nest, and reading the daycare post broke my heart.<BR/><BR/>Yesterday, when I dropped DS off at daycare (where we pay $5/hour!), and saw how excited they were to see him, and then when I peeked in the window and saw the teacher holding him and dancing and singing to one of their songs, I teared up because I was thinking of your sweetie with the soaking lovey having the "nerve" to cause a "disturbance."<BR/><BR/>I really hope you can find a place that you're more than happy with, soon. Daycare in this country is a full-blown disaster. We just got lucky. I hope you do soon.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17734855572275061109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7158656183600303042.post-40780613966798499332008-09-08T12:55:00.000-05:002008-09-08T12:55:00.000-05:00Rachel, the director just said that they don't cal...Rachel, the director just said that they don't call the parents for bad behavior. So I guess no matter what my instructions were they just do their own thing. I get worked up just thinking about it again. Thank you for the recommendation for Easter Seals. I'll check into that right now.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16137415037377205948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7158656183600303042.post-57324488154304846532008-09-05T23:22:00.000-05:002008-09-05T23:22:00.000-05:00Wow.

Did the director have any response as to why you weren't called when you specifically asked to be?<BR/><BR/>I'm sure you've already scoured all the daycares, but can I suggest checking out Easter Seals if you haven't already? I didn't think of it when we were looking into daycares because I thought it was just for kids with disabilities, but it's an inclusive environment and most of the kids there don't have disabilities, the people have a lot of training, they know my baby and love him, and it's affordable because they get funding from a lot of different sources. I couldn't be happier with them and we were set to just tag-team parent without daycare until I found this place.<BR/><BR/>I am so sorry your little girl and you had to go through this. It isn't okay, and that "director" should be ashamed.

I am so sorry little Katen had to experience that, and I can only imagine how it feels like your insides were torn out, not to mention being raging furious at the center and feeling helpless in the face of their lackluster response. 5 hours of sobbing and crying with no consolation? 6 hours without food for a baby? I am so, so, so sorry to read that you and your family had to experience that. The daycare, particularly its director, should feel ashamed.Annelieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05691553115521076372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7158656183600303042.post-91248469946678553852008-08-13T10:24:00.000-05:002008-08-13T10:24:00.000-05:00Oh my gosh - the pic of Katen "singing" is absolut...Oh my gosh - the pic of Katen "singing" is absolutely adorable!!Adam and Jaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13953941025008431567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7158656183600303042.post-1392305767041395922008-07-29T10:12:00.000-05:002008-07-29T10:12:00.000-05:00Thanks ladies!

When compiling information from various sources (such as in this post) I generally try to put the content in my own words. However,I will admit that it's possible this sleep deprived mom may have overlooked something. (??) If you could give me specifics, I would be most willing to site a source that I may have missed at the very bottom of the page, or change the content all together. Thanks for your help.
