You have given her two weeks notice, it's not two weeks notice when it's convenient for her. I don't know anyone that works like that.

Hmmm, just thinking here...you said you have a contract. Since the contract is for monthly care, I would pay on a pro-rated basis, per contract rates and be done with it. Since she never reissued you a daily contract, what could she do?

Hmm, I don't know much about these things, but I would try to end it amicably, and ask if this has always been her policy. The bad blood/feelings may not be worth the money.

But I honestly don't know, so feel free to ignore me!

the minute she goes to a daily schedule, her monthly contract is null and void. what rissa said about the notation line is correct. hey nick? want me to represent you if you have to take it to the judge?

Thankfully part of my court order makes my son's father pay for 1/2 of all daycare expenses. That helps. And now that DS will be in the after school program I'll be saving some money as it is less expensive than my prior in home daycare provider.

BTW .. I haven't spoken with my daycare provider since Tuesday. I figure I'll see her on the 1st with her final check. I'm still figuring out how I'll handle it.

And heck, landi is going to represent me so it's all good!!

Vaca, tell your son to be a real pain in the ass for those 2 weeks!!! Tell him to refuse to help her, to just sit and glare at her. Tell him to secretly rile up all the little ones and whisper to them rules on how to start a food fight!!

hahahaa

I'm griping about Abercrombie and Fitch, Aeropostle, and American Eagle and their ilk. Went to the mall with #1 and went into these 3 stores. Why is it on the women's side the sizes are all itty bitty?? The biggest size was a 10. Dahell? And no xtra large size tshirts. I had to go to the men's side for an xtra large tshirt and hoodie.

Do they not think that people who wear a size 14 or 16 would like to wear their clothes too?? Why do men have large sizes and women don't? Then again some of the men's clothes had alot of feminine colors lol.

Mocha, it is my suspicion that they don't WANT larger people to be wearing their clothing, because it is then not as "fashionable", or more of a "bad advertisement" for their stores. It's really crummy.

I agree with Eeyores, sadly.

I made the mistake of telling my MIL today about my swollen eyes (which are still quite swollen, btw), and she gave me a lecture on "dying for vanity." So I'm griping about that. Don't even know why I try with that woman, except I love her son.

At this moment, I am trying to take deep breaths, listen to some classical music and not completely lose my cool over a work issue that I cannot even explain if I tried.....

Update: Went to the UPS store yesterday to check on my claim. Shop manager (owner?) says she contacted the district manager to get it resolved since it was UPS' fault, to get them to pay some of the claim. I asked for a timeline, since the claim was made on the 6th of March, and she couldn't/wouldn't give me one. I'm thinking this gal is just fudgin' with me. Seems to me if they know it was their error, and I insured the package, there wouldn't be any question regarding paying the claim!

Sorry, Escapee... Deep breathes!

Urgrace, I'd ring their customer service number, it's 1-800-PICK-UPS. If the local person isn't dealing with you, then you have to escalate it.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
The city was just here, somebody complained about our sump pump pumping directly into the street. Valid concern except for one little detail. WE DON'T HAVE A SUMP PUMP! Or don't have one that we know of. The guy said he walked around the property 4 times and didn't see a sump pump hose so decided he'd ask us. I pointed out one place in the side walk where the water seems to stand and he said oh don't worry about that. [Hind sight tells me why did I open my big mouth, but I'm so honest at times it just kills me! *L*] It was probably the *self modded* people canty wampus from us who get mad cuz we don't water the lawn, or use week killer or fertilizer, or mow it every other day. They've turned us in for so many things that we weren't in the wrong about so I told the guy you probably don't know who is calling but I wouldn't waste a lifeline on the million dollar question - it's the people in the yellow house. He asked why I would say that so I told him. He just nodded his head and said it makes sense. Then told me everything looked ok on our property and not to worry so much about them. I told him I didn't worry about them but I was thinking about putting out some pink flamingos and tacky fake flowers, and he said I could do what I wanted as long as it was on the house side of the side walk and nobody could do a thing about it. Then told me that Dollar General had a good sale on the tacky flower thingys.

*L* nope it just happened, and I'm still in my jammies. And yes that means I talked to the city guy while still in my jammies, but I draw the line on going out without a bra on. [I know TMI! *L*] I told hubby I was thinking of making a big poster that says "WE DON'T HAVE A SUMP PUMP HA HA HA!" but I'm not good at art.
