So getting close to the break the "mothering" side of this job really sets it. Everyone is stressed out (at least the kids are) from classes and papers and tests. So of course they all start to get sick, and in this environment things get passed around so easily. So it was lovely when a 24 hour stomach bug was going around that had everyone projectile vomiting all over everything. At one in the morning guess who gets to clean that up?...me.
And then there is driving all these kids to their doctors appointments...filling their prescriptions...calling their parents and their teachers and getting them excused from class.
I am so glad break is on the way and they HAVE to leave so that I GET to leave. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday...I love to eat!
I did my first program too...a trip to a theater an hour away to go see the midnight opening of New Moon. Only the kids with special permission were allowed to go but it was so much fun. We didn't get home until after 4am and they ALL had to get up and go to school in the morning, but the ones that I talked to today said it was totally worth it and they would do it again. Nice to hear...started out with a bang I think.
So the kids leave tonight and I leave in the morning...can't wait to go home!
