Praise Report!!!! So I put my daughter back in daycare when she hit 18months. I PERSONALLY wanted her to have a structured day where she could learn and be social with kids her age (Had to put that disclaimer b/c everyone has their own way of parenting). But anyway, I put her in a daycare with a lady that I had used before when she was little. For some reason I wasn’t feeling this lady anymore. Didn’t feel like my daughter was learning like she should (aside from what I was teaching her at home with ABCs, Numbers, and colors), didn’t like the lady’s values, and Madison didn’t seem too happy when I dropped her off. BUT being a career mom this was the best/most convenient option for me - so I thugged it out for a few weeks. Finally I said I’m not happy with this place so I took Madison out, NOT knowing what type of help I would have. Anyone who knows me, knows that I’m a PLANNER, I love STRUCTURE and being in control. So when I took her out I had to start winging it; working from home when I could, and finding friends/family that I trusted to keep her while I worked. I prayed and prayed and prayed to God that I would find an environment that she loved and that I would be happy with in terms of her learning (oh baby there’s something to be said about a praying mother!!). FINALLY, I found a place near my house that I visited, Madison loved the staff and I was impressed with the curriculum, experience of the staff, recommendation from parents, loved Everything! But of course they had a waiting list! Hearing that was both frustrating, being that I needed childcare asap, and comforting in knowing that there was a long list of parents trying to get their kids in this place too. Sadly enough, on to the next. I visited another highly recommended spot that I end up loving. And of course – another waiting list. Now I’m starting to worry, but I couldn’t let myself become desperate and go back to the other daycare so I continued to play it by ear each day in terms of who I would let keep her for me, or if I was able to work from home that day. This week, I’m at a client and I get a call Monday morning from the 2nd daycare I liked – I was toooooo excited!! They said they had an opening in September as one of the kids were moving on to the next class level. YESSSSS! Finally I have some structure to look forward to. I’ll only have to freelance for a couple months then I’m good. Tuesday rolls around and I get a call from the FIRST daycare that both me and Madison fell in love with. Lady told me one of the kids were moving from the area and a spot opened up for next MONDAY…. I politely told that lady to give me 30 seconds so I could shout!!!!!!!! She laughed and said if you want it you got it! I said ALL that to say MY GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD! He will put you in the most uncomfortable situations where you have NO CHOICE but to trust Him. Where you have no one else to give the credit to nobody but Him!! Parents out there know how hard it is to trust people with their child. And I’m sure Career Mom’s knows how hard it is to balance the home and your career. I’m thankful I have that balance again and happy that I’ll be at peace knowing my daughter is in a fun educational environment. And I’ll keep praying it stays that way! OK back to ya’ll business…. :)
