... and a big cup of coffee! What a week it's been! It really seemed like it was never going to end. Yesterday was a super long day... and to top it all off, I pulled the sprayer prank on myself at work... lol. One of our sanitizing bottles fell down on the sink while I was changing a diaper.. and without even realizing it, it was holding down the handle of the hand-held sprayer on the sink. Well, when I went to wash my hands, I got quite the surprise when I was soaked with ice cold water. And of course, it's an automatic sink and since I was standing there, it kept spraying. Oy. I was able to soak up most of the water with a towel, but I was still pretty wet for the rest of the day.
I don't know if other states have this (or if any of you work in child care), but we're getting ready for re-licensing and a YoungStar visit. Basically, it's a star system that rates daycares. We're a 4 star, and only one other daycare in the city of La Crosse is a 5 star. So, everyone is in crazy mode trying to get everything ready.. Portfolios, lesson plans, room arrangements.. it's nuts. Plus, not having much time to work on it puts even more on everyone. We get in trouble if we bring stuff home to work on, which duh, we're going to do anyway, but as I'm sure you all know, it's illegal to work off the clock. I love it though, some of my coworkers think we should push to be salaried employees so we won't have to worry about the whole 40 hours a week thing. I'll believe that when I see that, since we're not really considered teachers in the eyes of anyone.. just glorified babysitters, which is upsetting sometimes.
Oh, and more good news! Cory and I are finally moving! After about 7 bats in the house this summer, we started an apartment hunt. It didn't go so well, since you really can't move without a security deposit. However, I found that one of the apartments we really liked was having a move-in special, so we only had to pay $400 down, and we get $500 off first month's rent! I was so excited. I've been wanting to move out since the day I moved in, and we've been here almost a year and a half. We're moving March 1st, so I'm hoping to have some pictures someday soon!
Happy Weekend!
