    I don't have grandchildren but my home based day care was alot of fun. I didn't gain any weight during those 10 years!!! LOL! I still miss those kids, they were a delight to care for.

    Lets do the math:
    6 kids X 9 days = 54 kids
    54 kids X 2 hands each = 108 hands
    108 hands X 10 Fingers (including thumbs) = 1080 fingers/thumbs.
    1080 fingers/thumbs X 3 meals = 3240 fingers/thumbs to wash.

    When did you sleep??

    HAHA....I know...it seems like I never would...but I slept like a log when I did sleep.
    I guess I should add...2 went to a summer program in the weekday daytime, three took naps, and only one was in diapers! It was all scheduled but chaotic at times!

    As the mom of 6, I know what you went thru. 5 of mine are grown and on their own and that leaves one at home. I am amazed at the laundry. It's gone from a mountain to a mole hill!
