Yup I celebrate Thursdays BECAUSE I know Friday is the following day….that is how much I love Fridays!..Heck I’m celebrating Thursday tonight..LOL.

Work was so hectic this morning–I had the kids make ornaments for the parents yesterday ( glue all over pine cones and sprinkle with pretty glitter). Glitter was LITERALLY all over my face, hair, and clothes. So we let them dry over night and today I hot glued ribbons to hang them and bows. THEN I wrapped each one in tissue paper and tied with a curly ribbon, and addressed each one to the parents and signed Love: child’s name. My coworker can sometimes PISS me off so much! When I started doing all the hot gluing this morning she said ” oh so you are going to do mine too huh?” …umm…”yah i guess” (ONLY because she does things very sloppy..I’m not kidding) so I did…..cut and tie all bows..glued all ribbons and bows on…19 of them. While I am wrapping mine I noticed that she was cutting out paper gingerbread men for “her” group. I was about to lose it…so I finished wrapping mine and said “Here..I’m done..wrap your own”. Childlish I know…but she could’ve said…well seeing how you did a lot of the ornaments I will cut these out…..so my group of 8 preschoolers are running around crazy while I’m being as careful as possible with a hot glue gun and she prepares a craft for her own group. Of course every little thing that the children do stresses me a little more than usual because by this time I’m already stressed.

I had planned to have oatmeal and fruit for lunch but I just wanted to leave the building for my 30 min break..so what do I do?? I go to the grocery store and I buy grapes (good) and a little marshmallow chocolate thingy (110 calories and 3.5 gms of fat). It was like I was on a high (which I’ve NEVER been..thank god) all afternoon. Funny how a little bit of wasted, dumb calories can make someone feel better! Anyways I’m sorry for ranting!

Today I ate a MAJOR amount of fruit…..4 YES FOUR..clementines…two for a snack this morning and two that I left at work yesterday and took with me in the car on my break..as well as an apple. So lunch consisted of 2 clementines, an apple and that chocolate junk. For supper I was in no mood to make anything so I had a PB and banana sandwich. As you can tell I like simple food..no gourmet for me!

Anyways one little rascal in my group told me today he made me a Christmas card last night..which I thought..”you little devil…trying to get brownie points already and you’re not EVEN four” but I did think it was very sweet of him and he was so proud! I think that I do not need or perhaps want any children until I no longer work in childcare. I know you’re “own” kids they say will be different but I’m not sure..it’s great to be able to send em home at 4-5pm and come home and say……”ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh” Perhaps I’m just selfish..I’m not sure…Oh well! lol.

I went to aqua aerobics tonight…2nd last class until the holidays! YIKES! The pool reopens on January 5/2009….crazy it’s ALMOST 2010! Only 5 of us in the pool (it’s a small pool) which gave us TONS of room to move around. It was great!

Alrighty I don’t think I’ve blogged this much in months! I’m trying to make a habit of blogging and coming to 3FC more often. This site is amazing!!!

Ciao! Angela
