It's so exciting this year! Haha. Found out I'm gonna be an aunt at the end of September! Seeing as my sister has told me for years that I have to be the one to give our parents grandkids, I'm pretty psyched. I leave for Boston tomorrow afternoon. Most of the weekend is free, leaving my friend and I plenty of time to explore Boston, areas of New Hampshire, and parts of Maine. Our only plans so far are to have dinner after my plane arrives tomorrow and go see an improv show. Saturday night we're gonna go see Shinedown. Then I fly back here late Sunday night. In another couple weeks I fly to Atlanta to meet up with my parents, and then spending a week on Hilton Head visiting family down there. I haven't had a vacation in two years, so I'm pretty happy about all of this traveling.

I might be visiting a friend in the Boston area for a weekend in April. He's fairly new to the area, having moved up from New Orleans over the winter. I haven't been to Boston since I was 16. One night we'll be going to a concert, but I'll have a few hours available Friday night, Saturday, and most of Sunday. Does anyone have any ideas on what there is to do there? Thanks!

Things have vastly improved at work since my last blog. Not perfect, but improved. I've been sick all week with a cold and somewhat stomach bug. Not something you really want to expose preschoolers to. Mostly caused by my body being run-down. I've recently developed some sort of insomnia where I'm awake half the night cuz I'm not tired till after 1, then when I go to bed I don't fall asleep. Anyway. I called in sick yesterday. That worked for five minutes till they realized two coworkers were off/had to leave early. So I had to work. Today I called in sick; I need to rest so I can get better. I was told I could have it as long as I went to our meeting, so I went. I was then told I needed to wait an hour or so for my replacement to get there. Ok not a big deal, one hour won't kill me. And then we get called and told my replacement also called in, and they're short-staffed over there, so they can't send anyone, so I need to stay. I was pissed off. Unlike yesterday, I did not have easy kids today. And today of all days, they picked to be absolutely awful. Not listening, talking back, hitting, the whole nine yards. I would have had steam coming out my ears today if I were a cartoon. Ohhh, I was so frustrated. I asked my co-worker, who ALWAYS leaves early if I could leave early today (we usually leave around 5:30). She sad she had some thing at six, so as long as it didn't interfere with that. Most of the kids left at 5, and our supervisor came around then to pick her kids up from the daycare. So...that one coworker gets busy doing stuff to leave. I was about to scream if she thought she was leaving there first. Talked to the sup. and she said we could both go because only three kids were left. I felt bad leaving my kids with someone whose kid had already gone, but I really am not feeling good today. Turns out my replacement had called in for good reason. A lot of the staff at the house work the mornings in the city/public schools. Evidently at her school, a fight broke out, and the police came in with pepper gas. Can't say I would want to work after inhaling that stuff. But I was promised I could have tomorrow off if I need it. I might just take the day off and work the teen night. We'll see. Lol I kinda feel like they owe me a day off, since the last two haven't worked out.

I love my job. It's almost exactly what I want to be doing with my life. The only problem is that the supervisors are making things so awful for all of us that I am just about ready to quit. And I'm not the only one feeling this way. It's a new program, I'll admit it. But our supervisor doesn't do her fucking job. She's supposed to have everything ready for us by the time we get in. Instead, we're constantly having to call to find out what's going on. I can't go into everything that is wrong with it; it would take me all day to do that. The bottom line is that she's gone to the head honcho and told her that oh, we have it easy over there (when in fact she has never spent more than 15 minutes with us), and that basically we're a bunch of complainers. We were told at the start to voice any concerns we may have. Now that she's gone and labeled us as such, the boss won't listen to our concerns...not that she probably would have in the first place, but we might have had a better chance. I am sick and tired of the bullshit and being talked down to and being made snide remarks to. We're run by the state...I've got half a mind to report them and turn in my resignation. The state went in to the residential house Monday on allegations of abuse. They arrived at 9:30 and were still there at 6. I honestly hope they got bit in the ass--maybe then things might improve.

Work killed my phone today. Literally. We took the kids to Green Lakes Park, just to have lunch and play on the playground. Well, I had myself a runner. The second time she ran on me she ran straight into the lake. I of course went after her, totally forgot I had my phone in my pocket. So...it's dead. I should be getting a replacement phone tomorrow, but I am none too happy. Especially as I was stuck in my wet clothes for over two hours because work wouldn't let me run home to change. Grrrrr. I am not having a good day.

I moved into my new apartment yesterday, yay! It's really nice, I'm excited. The drawback is we don't get cable/internet until next Friday. So, while my computer is back up and running, I'll have limited access to the internet for a week. Leave a message if you want to reach me, I'll get it eventually.

So I won't be online much the next few days. My operating system crashed this time, so I don't have my own computer access for now. Leave a message, I'll get back to you when I can.

Please please please do not send me lounge invitations. I will not go into lounges, and it pisses me off to see I've gotten twenty freakin invites to the same damn lounge. I hate lounges, I WILL NOT check them out. Thank you.

Today was my last day at the preschool. Yesterday was actually harder than today was. Today was the end-of-the-year family picnic, so my good-bye party was yesterday. Everyone surprised me, lol. Luke's mom showed up with cupcakes, and a very very nice gift: a necklace, a framed photo of Luke, and copies of pictures we had taken of Luke at school all year. My co-workers had all conspired too; they gave me a really pretty locket necklace with pictures of Luke and Kaleb inside. Wanda almost cried...I yelled at her because I knew I'd start if she did lol. Luke's dad picked him up today; he told me to keep in touch, and maybe in the future we can all get together at a park or dinner or something. They were really great at making me feel very appreciated; you know you're doing good stuff for the kid, but it's even better to hear it from the parents how well they've done. I'm all set for summer work, but fall is still up in the air. Respite is starting their own preschool program so I'm applying to that. Probably to school districts as well. I hate job searching.
