My office picture....

The picture you have been waiting for.... drumroll..... my little office!!!

I like it.... it is cosy.... and it is mine.  I need to get some pictures on my computer. I need to get a clock and fan in there. It gets a little stuffy as I have no window. I think it was a closet once upon a time. I don't care. It has a door... I can go into and shut. I am signed up for STARS (child training). I have to have the certificate to cover for teachers breaks and to be with the kids unsupervised. Its the law. It is a 20 hour online course!  They really need me to get it.  Hopefully my email will be set up today.  And I believe I go over next door to the Nursing Home and get my TB test today.  I got to go there yesterday to see the Ice Cream Social the toddlers have with the Seniors there. It was sweet. They do a lot of inter-generational things.  I spent the rest of my day meeting with Marcey and popping in and out of my office.  I met some little boys I seriously need to pray for.  It is funny.... the kindergarten kids and some others are calling me the "principal". wow. That is what Kevon called me! lol!  We had a new prospect come in and I got to help on the tour. Teresa said I did awesome. I think I did, too. lol! To end my day....  Veronica and I grabbed the garbage and headed out the door and she had already locked the door and I left my purse in my drawer!!!!!  With my keys.  She didn't have a key. She should have had a key... she is a closer! So there I sat! She felt so bad and kept apologizing when it wasn't her fault. I made her leave me there.... she had an appt at 6:30. I called Teresa (who was in Silverdale) and she said she would come let me in. Luckily, Joanna came around the corner (the big boss) to pick up something. I was so happy to see her!!!! So Teresa didn't have to come after all.  Veronica should have a key this morning.
Lauren called and had a talent show.  She was doing hula hoops and I was SO tired... I talked to Amanda who said she would record it. I felt so bad. When the kids invite me I feel an obligation to go but I was wiped out last night.  There is a lot of physical work with the job... a lot of walking, standing, picking up lego's, trying to help keep the appearance of the place nice.... and then there is a lot of mental exhaustion.  I am being told SO MUCH right now. I cannot retain it all but I write so much down!  A lot to learn.  But I am enjoying myself so much. I really love the people working there! It is a family.  After I got my keys, I stopped at mom's and filled her pills up and visited for a minute. I came home, fed the pets, heated up leftovers, ate, watched tv and fell asleep in my chair. Papa had to wake me for bed. I didn't even look at the computer. lol!  The pets are confused. I leave Toby in and Punkin out during the day. Toby will get to go for a walk with Papa today and that will make him happy.  I haven't been getting home until 7. They usually eat at 5.  Punkin has been a cling-on when I get home... in my lap, following me, sleeping in my bed with me.  Toby is just confused. They'll get used to it... and then papa will retire in two months and be with the animals. ;D

Maybe this was the picture you've actually been waiting to see.  I didn't follow any of the hoopla up to this even... did not watch it on tv... turned my set on to see who was voted off American Idol last night and did manage to catch the kiss.  I think she is just adorable.  I hope they are kinder to her than they were to Diana.

Well... today is Friday!  Meetings, classes, etc... today! Next week I will be working 9-5:30. That will be good.  I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Hope to see some kids this weekend. Grand kids that is. Dylan has his first track meet this afternoon I will miss. :(   Lauren has a game tomorrow I can watch.  And today is my oldest nephews birthday! Happy 45th birthday Ricky!

I love this picture of when Ricky was small!

I hope you all have a great day! Praying for you... please pray for me.  My confidence is growing with this job and I know it is God!  Thank you God... thank you those who have been praying for me!
