Late Night Post

• I put the hanging bird feeder in tree hoping the cardinal will come back & discover it. He's come to this tree three times in the last two days.
• We have no plans for the long weekend. We/I need to catch up on some things at home.
• I have a loonnngg To Do list to work on. Mostly day care related. Organizing curriculum/supplies, summer planning, paperwork, assessments, picture CD's for parents, update blog, June calendar/newsletter. Personal: organize Brett's closet/sort his clothes, finish the garden, and on & on.
• Speaking of day care: one PT left, two FT kids are going PT in a few weeks. Summer kids will be starting soon.
• I'm tried of potty training other people's children. My area rugs (thankfully it's just the area rugs) in the bathroom get washed so much they need to be replaced twice/yr. Really my group is trained & do GREAT except for one but accidents happen. A lot lately. The LR carpet gets cleaned Friday afternoon. (closing at 4pm)
• My last Preschool Credential course starts June 8 - July 1 Mon & Wed nights from 6-9pm. It's not ideal but I can take it locally (not offered online yet) & finish the required 18 credits. In the Capstone class I will be creating a portfolio. It will be a busy month!
• Today we candled our eggs & all of them seem to be developing. Our caterpillars are in crystallises & the ladybug larvae are in the pupa stage. We're also waiting on basil seeds to sprout in a bottle of water. It's supposed to work.
• Damon's Camaro is parked for a while. It needs a new head gasket. Bummer. He's missing his own Spring Cruise this year. It will get fixed, just not by then.
• I am so not impressed that Brett has Molluscum Contagiosum. He got it from one of my dckids. His mother told me about it but there isn't much you can do about it & it's rather harmless. Besides everyone was exposed by the time we knew what it was & it's very common. The first spots showed up on his back & front but now on his arm & three suspicious spots on his face. I try not to think about it too much or I get really annoyed. It's not anyone's fault. The child is very clean & the mother is extrememly particular (and as distressed as I am) but these things go around. Still.
