The Week!

Well, this past week has been something out of a suspenseful fairytale for me. One week ago, my family met my boyfriend, and all seemed to go well (or so I hope). Monday I did things around the house since it was a day off from work with being the long weekend and I had been so busy all the rest of the weekend with my family!

Tuesday I arrive at work and discover that my co-teacher is sick with the virus that has been going around our centre all summer. As the week progresses she is only there one day, Thursday, and she was still so sick that she really should not have been there. And of course, since she is away all week, my one-on-one child with special needs is there all week, and in a terrible mood. I had a different staff member with me for the three days my co-teacher was away, and it was quite stressful because she does not know my special friend very well and that child quickly overwhelmed her.

We did get communication working between the two of us so we could effectively work with the children, but I was so exhausted by the end of every day! I hope my co-teacher is feeling much better on Monday and is at work this next week, because she has a week of holidays coming up the following week. *sigh* And I can just see my special friend being there that whole week of my co-teacher's holidays and in a terrible mood still!

I do love my work, and the children I work with. I just get stressed out at times and need to vent about it!
