Not much new going on this past week. I worked 5 long days to fill in for someone on vacation. It'll be nice to get some overtime pay, but it sure was a tiring week. I could really use a vacation myself from those kids... less than a month to go! It's also super crazy at work right now because we have accreditation people coming sometime between July 7 and 25 to renew our accreditation status. But this means that we have to have everything ready by the 7th and there are a million and ten nit-picky little things to make sure we have in our rooms or don't have in our rooms and what not by then. Pretty much every day our director tells us something new to make sure we are doing or have ready. For example, all broken toys must be thrown away, so we have to go through ALL of our toys to check for cracks and stuff. We are not allowed to have any aerosol-type spray that is flammable in our classrooms, so we had to go through our cupboards and all the children's' sunscreens that they brought and send home most of those spray on kinds and tell parents they need to send new non-flammable ones. Just a lot of little things that take a lot of time that we already were crunched for :-/.
Last week I got annoyed with the hot tub being smack in the middle of our deck to walk around all the time... so we randomly put it up for free on craigslist, since it wasn't even hooked up to work anyways... and someone called within an hour or two, came to see it an hour later, and then came back and got it a couple days later. Needless to say, now we have a giant hole in the middle of our deck to walk around, ha ha. But it's a step in the right direction at least :-P.
I'm starting to get a little bored around here again, especially on rainy days and when Matt is working on the weekends (although he did get daytime shifts on Thursday and Friday for this coming week :)). Like today, Matt works from 2:30-11, so I was going to bike to my daycare to see how long it would take... but alas, it has just started to rain. Boo. Hopefully it'll let up later. Does anyone have any good book suggestions for me?
Matt and I are trying to find something fun to do on the 4th of July. This is not the easiest thing to do however, because he will likely be working the day before and after, and we don't know who's around to do something with (although we're looking into it). It was always so easy on holidays and summer weekends and such in Seattle, I had so many friends and family around, there was always something to do or at least someone to hangout with. There are a couple of places with fireworks on the night of the 4th, so hopefully we'll go to one of those.
