busyness

this week has been really busy. not sure why. work has been crazy (until today), i skipped a meeting last nite (it was raining and i figured it wasn't too important for me to be there anyway and i wasn't getting paid for it and i was exhausted from work..... i had a lot of good excuses). my co-worker has been sick all week (she came in monday but probably shouldn't have). we've had a casual from an agency tues and wed(we never do that at work cuz we usually can rotate people around or part time people do extra hours). she was great but having someone in that doesn't know the centre or the children makes things harder on me. fortunately today i worked with one of the other part time staff and she's great (we set a new record of 21 out of 27 kids sleeping at rest time. i think 13 was our old record).
tomorrow is our last day before school holidays!!! i'm ready for a bit of a break (i do have to work 4 days over the holidays but the holiday program is very relaxed and we only have between 12-24 kids).


random wombat photo-- she gets really excited about carboard and paper. she chews bits off of it then spits them out (and continues til there's just a big mess of wet paper all over her bed).
