Survial

Monday I woke up with a bad headache that I realized I got from how I slept. It went away by the time I had to work. It was a CRAZY day. We were short FIVE teachers. Two were scheduled off three called out and a fourth tried to call out. It's getting ridiculous again. It's like everyone calls out all the time, and we are already short staffed, and it's just getting crazy again. I hope it doesn't get BAD.
Tuesday was another CRAZY short staffed day, and the word is it could be all week. I am working 10 hours and lucky to get a 30 min break, and everyone is frustrated and cranky. I was told if people hadn't called out I would of actually been with my INFANTS. GRRRRRRRRRRR So HOPEFULLY everyone will be there tomorrow, and I can be in MY INFANT ROOM! Or in the FOUR year old room which is where I miss being there and infants. I'm tired of being in a room I am so overwhelmed in and I feel over worked in. However, my assistant director said I am defiantly NOT paid enough, and should get a bonus. So that helped a little. Tomorrow is a new day try again.
Wednesday I work up feeling yucky, but by 10 felt better. I had a pretty good day all around. I was with my INFANTS!!!!!!!!!! and my 4 year old class I was happy and got off on time. Just a MUCH better day today.
Thursday was a MUCH better day. I felt allot better, and other than a 4 year old that thought it would be loads of fun to hit, kick, throw wood chips and scream at me. It was a pretty nice day. I wasn't in with my babies, but the day was good. I got off a little early, and it made my day. I came home did some laundry and was able to actually relax before bed.
Friday was crazy, but not overwhelming. I was by myself with the 3 1/2 year old class, and then in the one year old room. I had a okay day for a change. It was super windy which is AWESOME! However, it was so bad we couldn't take the kids outside so it was a challenge, but it was alright. Glad it's the weekend!
Saturday was a not bad day, but not great. Rachel and I went out to the Renaissance festival, but I wasn't feeling well and i was in allot of pain. She was not feeling great, and out friends that work there felt awful. So I didn't even make it through a show. I left about a hour after getting there. Rachel and I went home and after a little rest we went shopping for groceries, and got food and came home. Rested more and didn't do allot. Went out to Jonathan's family for a while, and then came home and crashed out.
Sunday basically a stay home and get things done around the house resting type of day. I woke up, and did laundry, cleaned my room and bathroom. I rested and relaxed and enjoyed a beautiful Sunday. Getting myself charged up for a new week.

Short week

Tuesday since I messed up and threw things off this 'week' started with a Tuesday and a VERY LOOOOONG one at that. I feel so drained and worn out, but I have been up since 430 this morning, and don't know why. I worked with the 4's and young 2's and it was a good day all around. I miss my infants allot though.
Wednesday I worked my FULL shift, and it was fun. I was with the 4's and young 2's again. I think that's going to be my normal until further notice. I miss my infants allot, but I am willing to do whatever I need to just to keep my job. I figure they must put allot of trust into me to have me go everywhere ALL the time. I know once we hire more teachers and get more infants things will be better. It's just getting there. I am over all happy though.
Thursday I am glad today is OVER. It was a crazy out of control everyone in a BAD mood day. Crazy kids in EVERY class I was in from the one year olds to the five year olds. Adults cranky people called out, and it was just a not good day. A very terrible horrible no good very bad day, and I am glad it's over. Tomorrow is a new day, and it promises to be better than today.
Friday today was a crazy day again, but not bad. Just crazy bouncing around from room to room, and trying to have a fun time. Had to work late, and that just annoyed me, and traffic was not great either. It was just nice to be home, and rest, and forget about this week and look forward to a new week.
Saturday was crazy we Rachel, Jonathan and I went and fought with the now totally totalled car. Then the post office then the bank THEN went to the Renaissance festival. It was alright out there. Saw bits and pieces of shows, and then came home and out to dinner. It was just a cluster of a day.
Sunday I rested then caught up on housework. It was a quiet day in the house. Have a great week!

Opening weekend , bumps, Wicked OH MY!

Sunday/Monday: I posted my post up and then had excitement so I am putting some Sunday here too. Sunday I went to the Renaissance Festival with Rachel. Which was a surprise we have season tickets, but at the last second in the afternoon we decided to go. It was a cool lovely day, and it was super fun. Great crowds and people were fun. On the way home wasn't so fun. Not to far from the festival Rachel and I got in a fender bender. We hit the back of a truck, and everyone is fine. The truck had no damage to it. Her car the hood dented in, and it looks like the radiator might be gone, but over all not horrible. Just the 4 hours to get home wasn't fun. So I went into work a little later since I got home so late last night, and am so emotional. So I was greeted with a big bear hug by Lisa (the new director) and she was like I need you here so BAD. Found out a girl quit Friday and another called out today so they were down teachers. So my being there helped out. I spent the day in the one year old room, and it was not so bad. I am just sore and achey, but over all it was a good day. I came home and made from scratch vanilla chai cupcakes, and frosting. I'm so proud of myself! Some of my mother's cooking/baking has rubbed off on me. Thank you mommy!!!
Tuesday I woke up late, and it threw my whole day into this fast forward get it done kind of mode. It was not a bad day just busy busy busy, and full of sugar to boot. I love the kids I work with, and how each one touches my life in so many wonderful ways. It was also cloudy and cool today which I LOVED. It is also Arizona's 100th birthday, and Valentine's day. So pretty fun stuff happening all around.
Wednesday it felt like Thursday all day today. It was crazy put me everywhere day. I had a good day and felt great. Just worn out from running around.
Thursday I was feeling super stressed out, and I am not really positive why. It just feels like I have EVERYTHING to do, and absolutely NO time to do it in. Which is silly because I have nothing "to do" that I haven't already taken care of. I worked with the 2 year olds and 4 year olds today and it wasn't even that bad. I got off a a decent time and was able to go get my car emissions tested and renewed my registration so I dunno what the deal is. Tomorrow is a whole new day though right?
Friday was not a bad day. I still felt VERY overwhelmed, but nothing I couldn't handle. I was with the 4 year olds today again. I'm finding I enjoy being with them, and my infants most, but I got stuck in the young one year old room again. I told my boss today I get very overwhelmed in that room. I don't know why I do, but I do. I love the kids and things, but for some reason from the first day I worked in there when I first started it was a hard place for me to work. I got most of my 'work' done so I can play this weekend. I'm excited to go see WICKED with my family, and celebrate my dad's birthday!
Saturday I spent the morning relaxing and catching up on house stuff. Then took Rachel with me to go to my family's house. We all went to see WICKED and dinner for my dad's birthday! I had such a good time we had some AWESOME seats, and of course GREAT family company. I love when I get to be with them. We had a lovely dinner it was a great day all around.
Sunday/Monday cause I forgot to post up this on Sunday I spent the passed 2 days at the Renaissance festival. I have had so much fun that I loose track of time. Today (Monday) was very crazy out there, but the crowds are amazing! hope this week is good to you!

Excited

Monday today was a irritating day for me. I got to work at 745 and SAT DOING NOTHING till 845. Then I worked in the older two year old room then the older three year old room. I went on my lunch break and talked to the bank. I am currently out a LARGE amount of money from a supposed ATM withdrawal. So I have to fight it and wait any where from 30-120 days to even get my money back. That is so aggravating. Then I had to work in the one year old room and I was so annoyed cause I had to do EVERYTHING. I then was stuck in the older one year old room all day. It was so annoying, and then I got off work a good 45 min late. I had the SLOWEST drivers in ALL of Phoenix in front of me and i couldn't pass them. Took me 30 min to get home. MAN was I ever glad to be HOME.

Tuesday was really hard for me. It started off tough, and just kept staying. Started off with the drive to work taking MUCH longer than usual. Barely getting to work ON TIME. I sat for 30-40 minutes after my time to clock in. I then clocked in, and worked in the older 4 year old room. It was going alright until one kid threw mud in my face and eye, and then this 4 year old pooped his pants cause he was mad that he was in trouble. Then I had to work in the one year old room feeling very alone. Then on my lunch break my sandwich was bad so I only ate meat. I then worked in the 3 year old room with kids just going nuts on me. Then I was in the older 2 year old room where a kid tried to choke himself. Then I had to scrub a table that was covered in paint. I then sat for a hour or 2 because i had a meeting. It was just crazy one thing after another. I am glad to be home resting me sore back. Hope tomorrow is better.

Wednesday was A WHOLE LOT BETTER! I work up to my lower back HURTING, but it wasn't a bad day. I was in the older one year old younger two year old room and it was fine. I have a great person in there to work with who understands when I'm hurting. I got off early too which was nice. So I could come home and tend to my back

Thursday I sat at work waiting to clock in till 930. I then hurried and opened the class I was in yesterday. Then was moved to the older three's then to the one's then stayed in the young three's all day. I was so sore, but it wasn't to bad.

Friday I was mostly in the young 3's room. I had a good day over all. Just tired, and cranky. Everyone was bitchy at work about 'needing to go home early' so I got screwed and had to stay late. Not cool.

Saturday OPENING REN FEST!!!!!!!!!!!! I had soooooooooooooooo much fun! Got to catch up with friends, and see shows, and stuff. I got overheated and got sick so had to leave early, but it was still fun. I cooled down and got hydrated and it was fine. Did some shopping got my Phantom of the Opera 25th anniversary CD and DVD and got breaking dawn part 1 DVD and a pair of shoes I'm pretty happy!

Sunday was a cloudy beautiful day, and I enjoyed some quiet time, and caught up on everything I needed to.Ready to start the new week!
