fruit salad

Have you heard the old saying " ya gotta make hay while the sun shine" or " when it rains it pours" Well that is what is happening to me. I've been working 9 to 10 hours at the day care and now I have been doing 6 to 12 hours over nights with dieing people. I have worked from Tue. 8:30 am to 6p.m. 7pm to 7 am and 8am to 6 pm Wed. Yep, and now I'm writing you. I can't fall to sleep. I should of worked tonight like they wanted, but I couldn't see myself with the kids tomorrow with three days of no sleep. Richard says I get 'cranky' when I''m tired. He's right but now I don't feel sleepy. I will have so much trouble getting up tomorrow, I know. Well I'm trying my hand at teaching preschool and kindergarten preparedness. If I remember correctly, that was how I started day care. It is a challenge, these kids have no respect for adults and have no discipline. It doesn't help that the owner is a tad OCD about how everything looks. She wants all the toys to be put away at all times. She also does not want any copies being made for the kids to color or worksheets. But compared to staying up all night with someone who is dieing, well it's apples and oranges and right now I don't feel like fruit salad.

At least I have a job

Did I say everything was going well? I was sent to a new client last week, It went well but they don't need me the next two weeks. So I was sent back to my old client that I was doing so well with, but only for this week end. At the day care I finally asked what my status was ( since they gave the full time in the baby room to someone new) Well I guess I am just a part time person to bounce around when ever they need me too. Now here is my day now, I get up in the morning and take care of the infants that come early, I feed them, diaper them, play with them and put them down for a morning nap, and the other teacher comes in, I am sent home just to come back in the after noon to get up and snack the 4 and 5 years old, than I wait for the school kids yes about 10 of them where I am to keep them in control till they are picked up by their parents when I get to clean the childcare center. Now if that is not enough I go home to take care of my things, cleaning, laundry and such and than on Friday I go to my other job where I clean and care for a woman who is 90. I get here dressed, help to the toilet and so on. What I life, at least I have a job?

A good week????

Still working two jobs and starting to get into it. Yeah, for the time being, it seems to be working out. Oh I just jinxed it. ( I guess that is how you spell it) I never want to say something positive or every thing will go bad. No I'm not superstitious, it's just a fact about my life. The daycare seems to be falling into line and the caring thing is still there. My D.A. guy is getting stronger and remembering who I am so it's aint so bad. What can I say, I'm having a good week. Lucky me. I hope you are too, ya know. Now if only it would stop snowing.
