Falling so far behind...
I need your Nestie vibes to catch up with life.
This week is Spring Break for the kiddos at work, so I have my whole shift at once (I usually get a split shift) and watching 20 kids for 8 hours straight is so much harder than it sounds, or maybe it doesn't sound easy.
I had an 8-year-old throw an hour long tantrum on Friday. I had called on the Lord for an extra few doses of patience and I literally just sat next to this kid rubbing his back while he SCREAMED and cried for an hour straight. He lost his voice from screaming. His parents don't even answer the phone anymore when we call because he's always getting sent home for his tantrums and they don't wanna get him anymore. Classy.
I have a group assignment due on Friday and my partner has already sent me his work. I haven't even looked at what the assignment entails.
I have a scholarship application with an essay due on Monday that I've been working on. My prof's letter of recommendation was so gleaming that I started to cry. I feel like there's so much pressure on this essay to follow up that letter.
Anyway, I miss you ladies. I haven't been on here much. Mailyn, wanna meet up again?
Re: Falling so far behind...
Oh jeez, you are having a tough time! I know your essay will be fantastic! You are very eloquent
You have so much patience. I get stressed out dealing with pre-teen girls once a week... I didn't like pre-teen PMS when it was mine.
And YES! Of
Oh wow, I can totally see how work would be a little trying/stressful when it's not what you're used to!
I commend you on your patience though, good job. Obviously that kid is missing something in his life that at 8 he's throwing tantrums like that.
