Since the other blog has taken on a life of it's own, I'm shutting things down here. I'll leave it up for the time being, but eventually will make it private for purely archive purposed.
So um...

Yeah, so this is about Sprout's daycare. This is about the teacher that up until when she was fired was the lead teacher in her room.
Right now, I'll be damned if I can tell who is telling the truth.
She's thrived there in a way that wasn't happening at her old center. Lauren was far from perfect, she missed giving Sprout medication and then didn't do anything more than give us a note on her card, never called, never told us. It required following up with the director that night to get the full story.
I'm pissed that the Strib ran the story, honestly. I don't feel it was well researched. I feel that the real victims are us as the parents who are not being questions for putting our kids in daycare, and OMG how could we be so stupid to keep our kids at such a negligent place. Not to mention the fighting back and forth between employees in the comments.
Switching daycare on Sprout wouldn't necessarily be good either, but I'm sort of stuck about how to handle the whole thing.
Sucky Sucky!

Sauced, the awesome neighborhood but super amazing restaurant in my hood, that got great views int he Strib and City pages, and that we never went to enough's last day is tomorrow.
We didn't go enough, but like everyone we were trying to eat out less.
I'm horribly sad about it, since he mortgaged his house to open the place, and it is now in foreclosure. They are looking for investors, but I know how hard that is.
So, if you don't have Valentine's Day plans tonight, consider going there. The food will be worth it, I swear. You may just help the owner (and wife, two kids 2 and 10 months) maybe go out on a good note.

So I posted about it at the other blog, but there are no faces there. I have yet to get a really good photo of it that includes her face, but if you want, check out the latest on Flickr. (including her eating a fresh spring roll?!)
Oh, heck, couldn't resist. (the kid loves lettuce) For the record, I had nothing to do with the black eye. Some little shit in her class wanted a toy she had and pinched her hard right under the eye. And so it begins again. She's back in class with the terror twins and at least one other little bully. I'm still not sure how I want to react, but I'm a bit concerned because a little higher and that could have been bad bad bad.
