HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Monday was Halloween, and I had a tough tough night sleep. I tossed and turned so I got maybe 2 hours of sleep. So that on top of not feeling well kind of made me not want to work. The kids were all excited cause it was Halloween day. I was all over the place, but due to the holiday. We were low on kids, and I got to get off at 430. So I was able to come home get put in a costume, and go with Rachel to her parents. We set up a quick little thing and passed out candy. It was a lot of fun. Then we went to eat and had a nice time watching some Halloween movie then to bed. Good day all around.


Tuesday I was off work so I took the time to sleep in, and do some laundry. Then Rachel and I went out and got some candelabras from Spirit for half off. We then went to Pay less and I got shoes buy one get one half off, and we went to Target and I got Water for Elephants. We came home and watched some shows then got pizza came home watched more shows. Enjoyed a lovely day off just not worrying. It was nice.

Wednesday was a beautiful day all around. The weather was beautiful. The kids were great, and things were just nice and peaceful. I was in a happy place all day.

Thursday I was in a weird place. I had a girl at work tell me that a coworker said something about me. She told this girl I was negative and uncaring, and that I was trying to take over a classroom that I wasn't. So the girl talked to me, and I explained that I was only temporary in that class, and that I don't want it. Then the girl who was speaking to me about what had been said. Was talking about how much she liked me, and how she never believed the other person anyway. It just bothered me that this girl said it. It's not the first time she said it, and I know she likes to run her mouth all the time. It just put a damper on my weird day.

Friday was not a good day nor a bad day. It was a day where time seemed to skip. It was weird it was like the hour of 8-9 never happened, and it was suddenly 9, and then the hour from 2-3 disappeared. It was suddenly just 3, and there was nothing really busy about the day. It wasn't just me it happened too either. It was weird. I got off work at 4 too so I don't know what that was all about, but it was a peaceful day all around.

Saturday I spent most of the day just relaxing and vegging. I didn't do allot of anything except just keeping to myself. Rachel Jonathan and I did go to a luau it was fun. SO MANY people it was great to see. Then we got went to Cabela's and then came home and vegged some more. Not a very active day.

hmm

Monday was the beginning of a new week, and with that came a pretty good Monday. I had a good day kind of worked in different rooms and infants. It was a nice relaxed day for me.

Tuesday I worked worked mostly in the older toddler room. It wasn't a bad day. My niece was born today, and I am excited! I worked late and am dead tired, but I love my job.

Wednesday I was mainly with the older one year olds. It wasn't bad I was just cranky and not feeling my best. I'm just waiting for a calm to come. Which hopefully by next week we will have happen. Because we are suppose to get fully staffed, and that means no more late nights for me. It also means I won't have to be out of a room forever. I just am kind of feeling overwhelmed with having to do it all right now.


Thursday I was all over the entire school. It was a crazy LONG day filled with weirdness. From a kid on a bike getting hit by a car kitty corner from our school. Accidents on the freeway, and crazy drivers everywhere. It was just crazy.

Friday was a long draining emotional day for me, and I don't know why. I just had a hard time finding happiness today. I had children hitting, kicking, biting, scratching and screaming at me. Maybe that was why it was harder. I had to send one of them home it was so bad. This child was not only hurting me, and my other teacher, but the other children, and then the child climbed to the top of a chain link fence. All while a working interview was there. Not pretty, but it is part of what I do. I came home did laundry and vegged.

Saturday I spent most of the day just resting, and not doing to much. Then in the evening we went out to the corn maze and a few Halloween places. Sunday came and I rested did some chores and ran errands. Not to eventful.

FALL FESTIVAL

Monday was crazy I was in the older 4 year old room then in the infants then in younger 1 year olds then older 1 year olds then infants then break then infants then older 4 year olds. It was like really just make up your minds already. It wasn't a bad day though just crazy.

Tuesday was a long day only in the respect that i had to stay late for a meeting. I mainly worked with my younger 1 year olds. It wasn't a bad day, but just busy and LONG. I had a staff meeting and it was crazy. Lots of interesting information came out, and lots of things came to light. Lots of good positive changes are coming.

Wednesday it doesn't even feel like Wednesday. I did breaks in the morning, and got to be with my infants in the afternoon. It was not a bad day just felt weird.

Thursday was long as hell and irritating. I got put into the older toddler room which is 18 months to 2 years of age. I've been pretty much working that room for a while since we haven't had allot of babies. So my boss asked me if I'd be willing to stay in there until we get more babies. I said yes only because I know she had NO ONE to stay in there who will follow through or stick with what we are trying to do in there. It's been so insane, but if I get a good worker who will follow through. I think we can get this room back to AWESOME. I am sad and will miss my babies, but when my boss said I was doing AMAZING in there, and she felt I was strong, and was doing wonders. It made me feel allot better about taking it on. It was also fall festival and that got me super frustrated too. I basically worked a 13 hour day.

Friday I didn't have to work in the toddler room I usually do. It was a weird day we were super low with kids, and I kind of just went to all different classes doing odds and ends. I didn't really work in one class room. I was tired and achy, and didn't complain just did what I had too. I got sent home at 230! I was SO EXCITED! I got to come home clean some stuff and do laundry, and rest up. So I can play all weekend if I want. It was awesome!

Saturday I had a good day. I spend a good half of the day at the fair. It was Rachel and I, and we went to a exhibit called Our Bodies, and it was so fascinating, and cool. It was real human bodies that had been donated to science, and we got to see up close and personal everything in the body. It was very interesting to see all the muscles and bones and joints, and all the different systems. Systems like digestive, reproductive, muscular, skeletal, heart, brain, all of it. I saw how big the liver is, and kidneys. I think it's so amazing. We then went and looked at some of the animals and things like that. Then we left the fair and shopped and went to dinner and stuff. It was a fun filled busy day.

lovey

Monday was a nice day. It was a holiday so the numbers at school were low. I worked with the younger kids one year olds and two year olds. I didn't get to be with the infants for more than maybe 20 min. It was nice I got off work early, and had a lovely day. The weather was beautiful, and I took advantage of that, and enjoyed some outside time to myself.

Tuesday was a interesting day I worked with the older 3 year olds and then the 2's and then the older one year olds. I wasn't needed in the infant room because it's been so low in there. We have a closer in there now so its been nice. It's weird being a floater, but at the same time I am honored they have that much confidence in me to put me ANYWHERE.

Wednesday I was in my infants for maybe 10-20 minutes. I worked in kindergarten and older ones. I also had a migraine all day long and it was not fun.

Thursday I worked with the older one year olds again. I'm starting to get really frustrated with having to be in that class all the time. It's not my room it's not my class and I'm just so tired of dealing with them alone all the time. I'm hoping next week things will be different when we hire more people.

Friday was a trying day for me. I went to bed with my back hurting, and woke and it was still hurting. I think allot of it is because I have to pick up those heavier kids and change them. So when I got to work today I asked to please not be alone, and that I was in allot of pain. I spent the morning with my older one year olds. Then in the afternoon I was actually with the infants for a change. It was so nice to be with them again, and I was so happy to see them, and them me. We had a new baby that started today, and she choked. It was scary, and I didn't have fun. She was in her crib, and suddenly got really quiet. TOO quiet, and so I looked over, and I thought she was spitting up. So I went to her and sat her up, and she was making a weird noise, and I saw something in her mouth. I couldn't do a blind sweep. I just had a cpr/first aide class Saturday so it was fresh in my mind. So I picked her up and faced her down and hit her back, and I was able to grab the label out of her mouth. She started crying and I held her and all was fine. She somehow managed to get a label from a label maker in her mouth. Scary times, but all was well, and I got to go home after that. I came home and relaxed and tried to get rid of my headache and backache.

Saturday I rested alot I didn't do alot I just felt like doing nothing, and did alot of NOTHING. I did go to the mall and get 2 shirts, but then came home and just spent time with myself. Low key restful day. It was weird to be so alone, but nice.

Sunday I enjoyed the peace of the day and did some low key things. It was lovely

more change

Monday I had to work late, and it was crazy we had not enough staff, and state came out. I was so tired, and everyone had to work late. It was a crazy day, but not bad.

Tuesday was not a great day for me at all. I woke up late, but was still managing to be somewhat on time. However, I got less than 2 miles from my house when my car started to smoke and smell like something was burning. I managed to get to a parking lot. Where I sat for a hour till help arrived. I got to work a hour late, and was just overwhelmed. I started crying, but I had a supporting system of people. People who checked on me and made sure I was alright. I got a free lunch out of the deal. I ended up having to close, but it's alright. After I was done with work I got my car back. Hopefully it's not going to give me any trouble any more. We replaced the water pump. So all should be good now.

Wednesday was a long day, but good. I worked with the younger ones half the day then with infants. Where I trained a new person to close. I just have to make it through this week and I should be done with long days. I'm pretty excited.

Thursday I had to be at work by 7. I had a tough night sleeping. For some reason I woke up every hour, and got up at 530 to be at work by 7. Where I worked till 630. I was with the kindergartners. It was so amazing. I have one little girl who's birthday was today. She turned 5, and I had her as a infant. I had a beautiful moment. She was doing sight words and learning to read, and had a book she was reading, and she suddenly realized the word she was doing was in her book. She was so excited to see that excitement and light her her eyes. that is why I do what I do. It was awesome! Made my long day all worth it.

Friday I was not feeling well all day. It was a crazy day, but not overly crazy. I worked with younger ones and then infants then older three's it was not horrible. I actually didn't have to close, and got to leave before 5 it was nice. I came home cleaned and did laundry and called it a early night. As I have a training in the morning for work.

Saturday I had CRP and First Aid training it was not bad just long. It's same as always, but I had to get it done. After that I came home and rested a little since I had a major headache and was tired from all the practicing. Then Rachel, Jonathan and I went to the Popo's to eat, the mall, and Spirit. We came home and watched some shows then went to bed.

Sunday I rested, and cleaned and tried to feel better. I woke with a scratchy throat, and am hoping it's nothing major.
