Tatia

This is probably not the biggest deal in the world but it's made me appreciate my mindee families all the more today and since I always complain when I have issues, I felt it only fair that I compliment them, too.:D
My two before school mindees are here before my DD wakes up. Well, she woke feeling none too great. She was headachy but quickly went downhill and developed a temperature. She asked to stay home from nursery today which is not like her so I know she is feeling poorly! Anyway, there's no way parents can get back to me in time (working in London) so I figured I'd just make the morning school run and call everyone and tell them I can't pick up today (3 sets of parents). They were all totally fine and symapthetic with it and said yes, no trouble, they'll leave work early to collect their children and hope sincerely that Seri starts feeling better. One even went so far as to say "Tatia, I know you love my son but at the end of the day, I understand you have to put Seri first". :) I also have 3 children wo arrive by taxi and their parents are going to meet the taxis here as it's too late to cancel where they're going this afternoon. And the two lo's parents were equally great.
I feel bad about letting people down but then, I don't think I've ever had to cancel before. I've just got really good parents!
