Otherwise known as complex issues, I have realized in the past few weeks that the end was coming for where my friend Angel worked. I knew in my heart the daycare where she was working was bound to close, and the inevitable has happened. Why we are not sure. But one thing is definitely for certain. We both had more thought out about it than the owner probably did. We both realized when the talks had started that the previous owner MIGHT get the daycare back, which is not saying that it wouldn't. We felt that was going to be the worst case scenario. Which we assumed was not an option for the lack of trying.
We know the previous owner didn't want it back. It all goes with the territory. There are things you learn when you start a daycare and if you know within five years that the daycare isn't making the profit it should be, then yes you know your time is up and it's obviously time to move on to another venture. What Angel didn't realize is that when I got out of the daycare I DIDN'T look back. I chose that opportunity to leave the daycare with the current owners and I know the previous owner and I have to admit that it was a long shot. It didn't seem fair to stay there when the original owners left. I mean it was like I was being disloyal (despite the fact from the previous owner that she and her husband would both back me up if I stayed)to them as I wasn't really happy with the situation in the first place. The only reason I was sad to see her and her husband get out of it is because I was satisfied (To a point) that they had the daycare and because he was a cop, (I knew them before the daycare ever opened) and I knew if he called up there looking for his wife He knew I would answer the phone. Yeah, very loyal. He said he would have to give me a raise one time for being his eyes up at the daycare. So as I look at the great memories of the daycare when I first started working there, I think about them. They were the ones who my husband and I could talk to if we had problems to discuss (this was also my husband's partner in an investment) so naturally I trusted them. Ok, hope I am not working all weekend and that this weekend goes as every other weekend I was supposed to work. Lord knows I still need to get some much much needed rest. lol
