This past week was interesting. I decided that since Thanksgiving was almost over and we’d made about as many hand –turkey creations as we could, we could probably start making Christmas crafts. First I made a Rudolph hand puppet and then a Christmas tree with the kids at Bright Start. I don’t care if some people think it’s too early; what can I say, I love the holidays. The children seemed to know that we were getting a break – they seemed a little rowdier than usual. I noticed a two year old girl, Molly, heading to the potty. I also noticed that she wasn’t potty trained yet, so I asked her if she needed help. When she said yes, I tried pulling her pants down to help her, only to get peed on. She told me she was already going. It was pretty disgusting. On top of that, I showed one of the older girls a picture of me and my co-worker Jill, from when we were in 10th grade. She told me I looked scary. Don’t you just love little kids sometimes?
Along with all the constant cleaning, changing diapers, and wiping noses, I felt sick all week at work. But since my coworkers love calling out and taking days off left and right, I stuck it out until the short week was over. Fortunately, this upcoming week there will HOPEFULLY be less children and Jill and I can work together.. Otherwise, if I have to deal with getting peed on again, I just might have to call out. FOR ONCE !
