4 down, 1 to go

its almost friday!! i haven't been this excited for a weekend in ages! i'm exhausted and i still have one more day to go. we've had 2 staff in our room sick this week (and 1 is still sick!) so i've been covering a lot of those shifts along with the teacher who usually works just mornings with the kids (fortunately her and i work really great together-- we worked at another kinder together-- and we had really relaxing quite afternoons). we've also had a casual coming in the days she couldn't do long days (plus she has a lot of planning to catch up on since that's what she normally does in afternoons). the casual was AMAZING. we've had great afternoons with her (and the kids have been really good too). hopefully we'll be able to get her any time we need a qualified reliever. i've put in a lot of extra hours though so everything else has been getting put off (laundry-i'm getting REALLY low on clean clothes; dishes- its been my turn to do the dishes since tuesday- they're still there and the pile keeps growing; buying food-- like i mentioned in the last post, we're down to random bits but zac was good enough to get some bread and soy milk so at least i can have a proper breakfast tomorrow and then i'll get some more stuff before work.......). we've had stuff on almost every nite too which hasn't helped. we saw the simpson's movie (that was pretty funny) and a movie about ian curtis (joy division) that was on as part of the film festival. zac's jamming tonite (i'm glad i quit cuz i'm too exhausted to do that. i think i'm gonna shower and be in bed by 8 tonite). 23 hrs and work will be over for the week (and hopefully my co-worker gets better over the weekend cuz i'd be nice to have her back next week).
