2 weeks worth of stuff work, parks, ren fest.

Monday went in at my usual 11 it was a crazy day. I went where I normally do, and it was horrible. It was like every kid had to push every single limit of me and my co workers. It was quiet a challenge. Then I was in the ones during nap, and they all were waking up. Then I finally got to the babies where we had suspected pink eye. So I spent the day bleaching and thoroughly cleaning. It was also month end so I had paper work to fill out and make ready. I got off a little early took advantage of it, and went for walk. I am wondering if the weather was effecting the kids. It was a colder day and a little rain. I do not know all I know is home never felt so good as it did today.

Tuesday was not a bad day all around had a good day. Found out two girls officially put in their two week notices. I also learned there will be no hiring cause they want to get everyone back more hours. With these two leaving there is a big chance I'll get more hours soon. I also had a baby enroll so that is good news as well.

Wednesday went in at 11 the day was good all around. It was not to bad I had fun. It was FREEZING cold. Yet, very good.

Thursday I got to work a FULL DAY!! I was so excited, and I'm going to be off Friday and Monday. I am excited because too when I asked if I'm to come in at my usual 11. I was told I don't know I'll call you. That is wonderful! I had a long day, but it was so worth it. I'm so happy!!

Friday I spent the day packing, cleaning, and just making sure everything here at the house was set for me being away. I then went up to the cabin. It was allot of fun. We left early enough that we would be able to relax once we got there. Rachel, Jonathan and I made it to Flagstaff about 10 and we met Darrell and Ethan. We then made our way to the cabin, and the road was pretty good. Except we thought the snow wasn't too bad on the turn into the cabin, but it turned out to be deeper than it looked. Both cars got stuck we got a shovel and dug everyone out. It was maybe 2 car lengths and after that we had no troubles. We got the cars in and out without trouble. It put us behind about 2 hours, but it was worth it. We made some fires and got settled in. Then some of us were hungry and it was 2 in the morning so we made a run to Denny's in Williams. Finally got to bed about 5 in the morning.

Saturday we all got up and going by about 11 or 12. We decided to go to Flagstaff and explored downtown Flagstaff. Made a few stops to some of our favorite shops.

Sunday we packed up and got ready to go said goodbye to the cabin. We then went to Williams and spent some time there. After that we went to Flagstaff for a little bit. Then home I spent my time at home getting laundry done and things caught up.

Monday I had the day off, and was so glad. I basically just relaxed and rested up from the long weekend.

Tuesday I got to go in to work at 10 it was awesome! The day was pretty good all around. Just getting into the groove of being back at work was my only problem. The kids were great though

Wednesday I got called in to work at about 9 WHOOT for a full day of work!! It was fun, but some how or another we were short staffed. It was interesting we went from too many to not enough in a matter of a week. I had a great day though

Thursday I went in at 10, and I think for now that's my new thing which is an improvement. Next week it may change, but that's alright. I am not stressing over it anymore. I had a wonderful day all around, and even got to come home a little early. I enjoyed some time to myself, and life is going pretty good right now.

Friday woke up not feeling so great, and all the kids were nuts. We had allot of parties today cause two co workers last days were today, and Valentine's parties were today. So the kids were all just crazy.

Saturday jam packed with FUN! It's baaaaaaaack! the Renaissance Festival is baaaaaack! I got up we got breakfast, and hit the road. Trisha and I went out saw some GREAT shows, reconnected with old friends, and saw some new stuff in some old shows. It was hotter than it had been for a while, and one to the performers got sick in between her shows. She's alright now just have to get back into the habit of water water water. I got myself a tad sick from the heat. I was drinking water and lots of it, but still it was warm. After that Trisha made dinner we had it with Rachel, Jonathan and Ethan. It was allot of fun, and great times.

Sunday I am home recovering from Saturday's adventure. I'm a little sunburned, and dehydrated. I am staying home resting and drinking lots and lots of water. I'm not even doing my household chores. I'm not feeling so grand, but with rest and relaxing I'm hoping I'll be ok for this week.

I can never figure a good topic out

Monday I was back to in at 11, and it was crazy chaotic day. I went in to a classroom it was not bad just allot going on. I got thrown up on and pooped on in this classroom on top of had a child throw a huge 3 year old fit. Including throwing chairs. It was no fun. I then had the bathroom toilet for the same class go bonkers. I was like really? It was a day, and then my ops manager came and did hot spot checks in the infant room. I was doing the stuff i was suppose too and we got 100%, but it was just like another thing.

Tuesday looks like I'm back to going in at 11 on a regular basis, but I am alright with this. When I look back to when this happened a few years ago. My hours were much less, and so long as I am consistently going in at 10 or 11 I will be alright. If it gets worse I know some other daycare that are hiring. I had a good day over all. I got to be with my 2 year old. I got off a little early and enjoyed a BEAUTIFUL walk.

Wednesday went in at 11, and it wasn't to bad of a day. Over all everything went really well, and I found myself happy and enjoying the day. I even found myself finding extreme peace and comfort on my beautiful walk today. Just very much at peace today.

Thursday I can't believe how fast this week has gone by. I had a good day things went well. I got to listen to people's concerns and worries. I haven't been the ears for people in a long while. Seems like I'm getting back to whatever normal might be. Now if my hours would I'd be allot happier

Friday was a pretty fun day. I got to help a class with a teddy bear picnic. I loved it, and so did they. I got off a little later than normal, but it was good. Trisha and I went and got some groceries, and we had dinner. It was a good event filled night, and makes for a nice Saturday to come.

Saturday was a lovely day. I relaxed a couple hours in the morning then went to see my sister for a nice massage. It was very nice to go and just relax and enjoy some me time. After that and going back and forth from my parents to the church building for a bit. I went to lunch with Trisha. We tried a new place called valley Luna near our house, and it was good. We had tried a Chinese place called Pong Pong which is next door to it on Friday. It was pretty good too. After that we didn't have allot to do so we just hung out and relaxed. It was a nice day nothing major to tend to. We had a evening to ourselves as well.

Sunday it's a beautiful day, and I'm doing housework and figuring out some finance, and painting my nails. It's a peaceful day, and one full of excitement as my Renaissance Friends are slowly making their way into the state and getting ready for the festival to start in a couple weeks. People should experience it at least once.

the horn goes beep beep

Monday I went in a noon and it was not to bad. The entire school was SUPER low. It's the holiday so it was like empty, but I got a few hours, and it was good.

Tuesday I got to go in at eleven so it's and extra hour. I'm still confused why others come in at ten, and how my time is right and or fair, but I'm not going to stress over it anymore. I've been getting myself sick. I'm just leaving it all in the Lord's hands, and praying all will work out soon.

Wednesday went in at 11 it was a nice day. Got to go on a beautiful walk, and I'm feeling pretty good.

Thursday I got to go in at 11 yet again. It's better than noon so I'm looking up at this point. I had a tough day though. The babies were just not happy, and I don't know why it was such a challenge. I got out at like 530 so I got to go for a lovely walk. I love this time of year where the sun is still out, and the weather is BEAUTIFUL! Take it in now while I can. I also got told to come in at TEN!! So I'm very excited about that.

Friday was interesting. I left early to go get gas and go to the bank before work. I got to the gas station where a lady fell like she was walking and just fell. She was older, and the store manager, a store worker, and two people she was with were with her straight away. So that delayed me slightly, but I still had time I went to the bank, and everything was fine. Till I looked at the clock in my car that said 1015 I thought for sure I was late. Got to work to find it was just 10 so my clock was 15 min fast. GOOD to know for later. I then was working and found out a coworker was offered a full time job some place else, and is probably leaving. I heard another co worker had 2 interviews. So in the next few weeks I am loosing 2 more co workers maybe a 3rd. This is good and bad. Good cause I can get more hours. Bad because I really like those girls. My day was pretty nice all around. Got off and went home for a relaxing evening home alone.

Saturday I spend the morning just relaxing and not doing allot. Then Trisha and I went to lunch, and ran a few errand. We then met up with Rachel and Jonathan, and had dinner and a movie. It was a nice night home with them just relaxing.

Sunday I spent the day catching up on housework, and figuring out a few things for the week.

Birthdays

Monday I worked only half a day yet again. Even with a 6th baby in the infant room they refuse to give me my hours back. I did talk to them, and they said we had a small increase of kids. So there is a chance I could get off this kick soon.

Tuesday another half day it wasn't bad, but I got off earlier than usual when all the babies left. I made the best of it, and went for a walk before it got to dark. It was nice and peaceful.

Wednesday I again got off earlier than usual due to lack of babies. Still went in at noon. I am so frustrated. There are people highlighted for near overtime why am I still screwed? I'm so frustrated.

Thursday I got to go in at 11 today, and that extra hour was like a song to my ears. It was nice I went in and did some breaks then played with babies. I am still flustered, but am grateful for what I DO have.


Friday I got to go in a hour extra so I was quiet excited about that. Then my coworker tells me she got her full hours. I am so frustrated how come she is getting hours now and I'm not when we both work in the same room. We were told we would both be part time for now until we get more babies. I'm so frustrated and depressed about it all. I'm might have to see what other job opportunities are out that. As I can't live part time hours. Though the benefits I have of health insurance and seniority would be gone. I'm just going to look who knows what might come of it.

Saturday was a busy fun filled day. I started off by going out and hanging with Trisha. We went to do nails (her treat) and then we watched My Fair Lady at Arizona Broadway Theater. I truly love going to this theater. It's a dinner and a show and they are always so great in all they do. Not only on the stage, but off it. I am excited to see more there, and am glad I found this treasure. After that we made a few shopping stops for Trisha to get some stuff for Ethan's birthday. We then surprised him at Spaghetti Factory. We had dinner and cake and made it a big deal. We then went to Rachel's and celebrated more. It was so fun. We celebrated it early, but it was good. I also want to add there a super happy birthday to my sister Julie. She is a blessing in my life. I love her more than I can say. I admire her strength and creativity. She's a beautiful soul in side and out. I love to see her devotion to her family. She's a great mother, and great sister. Love you Julie!!!!!!!!

Sunday I woke up did house work, and just relaxed and tried to not worry about to much of anything. It is a beautiful day today!

oppsy

This week has been stressful for me. I found myself unable to figure out how to live. I found myself in just a state of mind that wasn't good. I had a talk with my parents, and that helped some. I also talked to a friend and feel like I am going to do alot better now. I did get to go see SHREK the musical this weekend, and it was WONDERFUL. I knew some of the songs and I knew it had some things on the Tonys. I had been wanting to see it for a LONG time. It followed the storyline of the first Shrek movie. It kind of explained about some of the character's backgrounds. It also had little pokes at other musicals like Wicked, Lion King, CATS, Les Miz and a few others. It was entertaining for adults and children. There was alot of kids there, and I was impressed that there was such good behavior from them. No crying and talking and fidgeting like kids might do. It was good for all involved.
