Wow.... it is May 13th! I haven't posted for a long time....and I am sorry.  Let me see if I can catch up. Work. There ya go!  I have been working 40 hours a week and I am tired all the time!

I kid you not. I get off work at 6 and am ready for bed by 7!  I think I may need my iron levels checked again. I have been anemic before. Plus softball season has started up and I try to get to some games. I have made one of Jo's and need to get to see Riley! Going to Lauren and Maddie's is a bit easier because it is right on my way home from work.  I also got to see my 2 nieces play against each other.... that was cool. And then Karla and Joel's team "Yank-A-Part" has their first game tonight at 8:30!  That will be a late night.
I have been at my job for over a year now.  It is getting harder.  They just keep letting more kids enroll....it never stops. Now I have 26 kids on my roster. Luckily they don't all come at once. But a normal day for us is overwhelming with about 18 kids. 

I do have an assistant who is wonderful! She is in charge of our arts & crafts and so many other things she helps with. I would be nuts by now if it wasn't for her!!!!  We took the kids on a field trip over a week ago and 2 parents went. It was fun!

Luckily we only had 14 that particular day.... and only one wet his pants. lol

We had parent come in a couple days to share what they did for a living.... that was interesting! We had a vet assistant, a occupational therapist, a bank manager, a jeweler, and an NCIS agent! The kids thought it was cool.

They thought wearing a bullet proof vest was super cool.

We celebrated Cinco de Mayo with Nachos and Mexican Hat Dance. I learned Cinco de Mayo means the 5th of May. Call me dumb but I had never put it together. lol!
Last week it was all about Mother's Day. The kids made books.... first page had a flower with their picture on it and a poem I wrote. I will have to take a picture and post it. The flower was made from hand prints and footprints. There were also papers in there about their mom's that the kids had said. We made a recipe book too.... the kids told me how to make pancakes, cupcakes, cookies and stuff. Really cute. We had an awesome Mother's Day Brunch on Friday!
We had a pretty good week because we started a new STARS SYSTEM!  During lunch if they use good manners they get a star.  If they are nice at the playground they get a star. If they listen and sit during circle time...star. One mom was upset and didn't want her child on there.... but we got it all worked out....I hope.  Several things happened during the week that was kind of weird. Then Friday.... my assistant Ms. Sarah... gave me this beautiful planter made from lady bugs with mini roses in it. I will take a picture of it too! She said the nicest things on a post-it.

I had a nice Mother's Day. Kevon and I went to Red Apple Diner for breakfast and it was wonderful! num!  Had great conversations about everything. I love that kid!  I got calls from Karla, Ryan and Heather...and saw Tara at the game and got a hug.
In fact just got home from a softball game.  It started at 8:30 and it is now 10:30 and we just got home. Must be bed time.  I started this post hours ago and am just wrapping it up now. See why it is so hard for me?

Going to the dr tomorrow. I have had an ear ache in my right ear since yesterday morning. I hate them.  Hopefully we can figure it out.  Hope you have a great week! We are starting "circus week" at school. I only work 4 days and then going camping!!!!
