I like to have a few minutes in the morning to myself before I start taking care of kids or before mine wake up. Me time! Today I started my full house with 10 kids. Looks like I will have 11 on Tuesdays and Fridays.
I first expected 11 every day but Thursday but had a family cancel their 2 days a week until July. I get a bad feeling so I think I might tell them no all together. Some of you are thinking that I complained for how long I needed kids and now I am turning one down. Yes I am. And $50 a week. However a house filled with kids does not run smoothly if its filled with the wrong kids! Not every child is a fit for me and I am not a fit for every family. I want to avoid the stress right up front!
So you think 10 kids. Yes, it is alot. Four of my children and 6 others! Sometimes 7 others! Things will be busy. Today is flying by super fast.
I think this morning I was going to show you pictures of my weekend project I started and completed. We still have some that are not complete. Somehow I got talking about my daycare instead!
So since I got on that topic just take a moment if you are not a childcare provider and think-
WHERE WOULD YOU PUT 10 or 11 KIDS IN YOUR HOUSE TO EAT BREAKFAST, LUNCH AND SNACK?
We have our normal dining room table that can seat 7!
I also have a green high chair that seats 1.
So I found this cool high chair at a garage sale for $10!
I had to have it.
It goes low enough that I can even put it up to the table as a chair.
It folds up and fits into my closet along with the
mop bucket and the vacumm!
All that for just $10!
Then over the weekend I was going to skip garage sales because
the kids always want stuff.
Those darn 50 cent purses they just can not live without.
Or that 50 cent book they want.
For some reason though as we were headed to the store
I had to make a quick right hand turn to see one sale.
I was just going to drive by.
Well, when I saw this table and chairs all folded up
I had to stop with money in my pocket.
I got it for just $5.00!
It folds up too! Just like the high chair. So when we don't need it,
we can hide it in the closet.
So now if you do the math and add 4 more seats.
I can now seat 12!
I can sit too!
