Well, we're slowly getting back into our regular schedule after our weekend. Getting up for work this morning was hard because I was soooo TIRED! I finished a file before lunch and returned some phone calls and then we went to La Fiesta with some of the Crisis Nursery staff because we're going to help out with one of their interns. It used to be awkward around them because we're not on call anymore and they have to deal with it themselves (they've gotten over it by now so we're all fine). We used to be on call and it SUCKED! We would have to carry a pager for a week at a time, holidays included. Luckily, I never had it over Christmas or Thanksgiving but I did have it for New Years Eve two years in a row. The Crisis Nursery is.....well basically a crisis nursery. It is open every day all day and night for kids who's parents are either; ready to snap to the point where they might hurt their kids, homeless, involved in domestic violence, very sick with no family available to watch them, in danger of losing their jobs if they can't have care for a couple of days, etc. I got called into work there all the freakin' time when I was on call and very often it was because the staff was taking advantage which was what made me angry. I don't mind working in there but not when I know the staff member is not sick or hurt, but would rather just go home. The last time I was on call was over new year's eve and the pager had been going off all night because of parents wanting to bring their children in so they could go out. That weekend I had to work from eleven to three thirty in the morning and which was a nightmare! Don't know why I went into all that, I guess I'm still so excited that I don't have to deal with it anymore! Plus, there are a lot of new workers in there who take the job a lot more seriously so the people that are on call have a better time with it.
Anyway, I had a visit this afternoon and then I had a parent group tonight. Didn't have job #2 because it was cancelled due to the group. I just got home and I really should start cleaning for the party on Thursday but I think I should work on files instead. The house is actually not too bad, I just need to straighten up some things. Julie and Brian's kids are so well behaved, they didn't mess the house up at all! They were so cute, they were making "clubhouses" out of our pantry and walk-in closet. It was adorable, they were storing food and finding things for furniture. They kept putting the dogs in there (who I think weren't as excited as the kids were) and making beds for them. So cute! I miss them already! Alright, I'd better get to work. Have a good night everyone!
