Day Eleven with Cancer

Oh how I hate working with toddlers!  The first five to ten minutes isn't a big deal, but after the blood curdling screaming starts, I just can't handle it.  I had two kids throwing themselves on the floor, slamming the backs of their heads into the hard parts of their cots, hitting themselves in the face and screaming so loudly that people down the hallway could hear them with all the doors closed.  I ended up having to hold one in my arms while I kept the other on the cot.  One child was flailing so badly and hitting the other child who was awake that I had to keep him in my lap.  He began hitting me and finally head butted me in the nose.  I was ready to lose it.  Thankfully, Connie was able to switch out with me for a little while until I was able to calm down.  The rest of the afternoon was a little less rough.  Shortly after we got back from snack a couple of the kids went home.

After the kids were gone, we had to clean everything and get everything we could up off of the floor.  Not everyone was entirely willing to do this, so a few of us ended up there later than the rest...as usual.  My mother and sister ended up finding me in a classroom about a quarter after 6.  I went ahead and finished what I was doing and then clocked out so that I could work on trying to get the mass quantities of scrapbooking materials from my car into the stock room where we were going to scrap.  I have to say, I didn't get much done.  I worked on the awareness jewelry that I've been trying to get done.  I also did a scrapbook page of last Tuesday when I had my CTs done.  Sarah took some lovely pictures of me drinking my nasty prep.  It'll be fun to have it documented though.  I don't know if it was awesome or unfortunate that it really was only the three of us at the event.  It was kind of nice not having to deal with other people.  I was able to scrap AND spend time with my mom and my sister.  That's a pretty good night in my book.  We got home about 10:30 and I crashed as soon as my head hit the pillow.  What am I turning into?
