9:50 am

I feel so exhausted this morning. I did not want to get out of bed. I still haven't talked to my ex, which is very strange, but I am ok with that. I have been starting to focus on other things. Plus, I have been so busy with my business and doing interviews and correcting violations from the health department.

I put an ad in the paper for employment on Sun and Mon and then ran an ad Monster and have seriously only had 10 people respond. 2 of them were qualified for the position. 1 scheduled an interview and never showed up. Needless to say, I am still going to be short staffed and will now have to run another ad this coming weekend. I am so sick of people's work ethics. I don't understand how people can live without working. I am just praying that God will bring the right people to me that will stay. I have one girl who has been with me for 1 1/2 years and I know that she will be staying for a long time. She is a great worker and really loves her job and what she is doing here. Then I just hired my first man employee. He is excellent and the children love him. It was strange at first and I was very nervous as to how the parents would react to a man in the preschool room. But he is doing a great job and I know that he will stay for a long time also. Plus, he doesn't have all the issues that women do when it comes to emotional problems. I right now have a gal that is helping me out temporarily until the job that she really wants starts. She said that she could be staying here with me for about 3 weeks and she is on her second week. She has been really great and has volunteered alot of time. The only problem is that I have to get someone hired for when she leaves. Then I still need someone to work part time in the afternoons, so that I can stop working such long days. I am usually here for 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, with no break, I am almost always having to be somewhere. So I need to have some time for myself, and my son has been missing out on special time that we could have together. Anyway, there is part of my story for my job...Oh yeah, I also have all the regulations that I have to maintain and paperwork and bookkeeping that I have to keep up on. How do I ever fit all this in and be a single parent? I don't. That is why I am so far behind. But I am catching up and things are getting better. We are still the best daycare in town

Anyway, I guess I better get going, here I am talking about how I am so far behind and I am typing a journal. Got to get to work.
