I agreed to substitute for my friend at her daycare business. I had no help yesterday but did today.

The children consist of:

1 four month old boy
1 nine month old boy
1 two and one half year old girl
1 three and one half year old boy
1 five year old girl
1 eight year old boy
1 ten year old boy

Yesterday I had only the four month old, two and one half, and five year old, plus the eight and ten years olds later in the afternoon.

Needless to say, I am exhausted.

I have never changed so many poopy diapers and fed so many faces. Oh my. Those folks don't get paid nearly enough.

Today, my friend's husband helped and kept the older ones busy while I handled the food and little ones under 1 !

I will probably go to bed tonight by 6 PM and sleep until 10 AM. My back is killing me. My legs hurt. My hands are now "dishpan like".... from washing them so often between diaper changes and dishes!

My friend better lay a nice gift on me. I earned one!

K I D S are a lot of work!
