Non-Stop...

So I missed a day in my blog. I was not thrilled with this, but I figured I would hop right back on the old horse and keep going. I had a good reason to miss yesterday, however. It was my friend's birthday and we went out to celebrate. We went to dinner and then ran around some. It was fun and I got back home entirely too late (read 2:30 in the morning!!) and had to be to work by 8, which means that I had to be up by 7. I ended up getting about 4 hours of sleep and am still going! I had to give a speech before our evening activities resumed last night. That was NOT fun. I do not like to get in front of people at all, let alone be the center of attention. If I am going to talk, it is usually in a small group of people that I am very familiar with and that know me. Oh, and we are SITTING down, not standing. Or else everyone is standing. Anyways, like usual, I had procrastinated and was writing this speech down to the last minute. I got a few uh-oh moments when she asked about something written in the article, but I believe that I did well. We then went downstairs to the daycare center in the college and presented some of our science projects that we have been doing lately in class. The kids were sooo cute and sooo interested in what was happening. I was helping my friend, the one whose birthday it was, present her project of coloring on white paper with a white crayon and then water coloring over it to make the crayon marks appear (otherwise known as crayon magic or something like that..). It was a blast and started off our evening well.

Today was crazier than yesterday, probably because I had so little sleep the night before. The kids seemed crankier and louder than any other day this week. It could be because I was soo tired, but my assistant had the same thoughts, so I am not sure. I think that they knew it was Friday and are tired of seeing us all day by Friday and are just ready to go home with mom and dad and chill out for the weekend, just like we are. Everything went well today, it just seemed really rushed, and nobody likes to be rushed through their full day. By the time nap time rolled around this afternoon and I got my break, instead of doing homework like I should, I decided to check out the blogs that I read and check my FaceBook page. This relaxed me somewhat, at least enough to finish my day without completely ripping out my hair. Let me say something before you all think that I am this horrible person and why am I working with children. I love my kids. They are a HUGE part of my life. By Friday afternoon, especially when I am tired, their whining and screaming starts to get to me. I would not trade my job for any other in the world. I LOVE what I do. However, weekends are nice also. So tonight I had supper at my mom's house and then did my homework. (Yes, it got done BEFORE it was due.) And now I am updating you lovely folks with my last two days of antics. Nothing too exciting, and I may post more about some subject that I am completely forgetting about right now tomorrow or Sunday. For now, I am going to enjoy listening to my music and looking around at some different sites (and waiting for my friend to finish her homework) and then I am going home and going to BED. (It sounds so nice...) :)

BTW If you are interested in helping with an organization called Angel Food (*which happens to take place tomorrow morning at 8:30) let me know and I can get you in contact with the right people. Have a great night!!!!
