welcome to my blog!

Ok, so...I am not sure exactly why I think I am interesting enough to have a blog...but I will do my best to keep you entertained. I enjoy writing a lot, that is just about the only thing I miss about school, so I think it will be fun for me at least...

I am the assistant director of a daycare so I feel that most of my posts will be about my always entertaining children from work (thus the title of my blog). There are not babies anywhere in my home, just at my work in case that needed to be clarified.

This week I feel a little bit insane. This is because it is cleaning/painting/craziness week at my work and I am in charge because my boss is out of town. So far, I have had 3 nightmares about the painters messing up the whole place, and one dream about our place flooding in the middle of the night(which actually ended up happening on a smaller scale)prophet perhaps? The painters are doing a lovely job, it is just unfortunate that they don't speak or understand much english, and I never paid any attention in spanish class.
This job is causing me to discover my inner control freak...I am trying to not succumb to this exhausting side of myself but it is not easy! I always have considered myself to be  a pretty relaxed and go with the flow kind of person, and fighting this surprising beast within has been interesting. I think maybe I just need to find the right balance...

Also, for the first time in my life, I am addicted to the Olympics. I am watching those tricky synchronized divers as we speak!

Ok, I will stop rambling for now.
Before I go, here is my funny kid story from the last month or so.

Me to parent whose kids ear is swollen up almost to the size of his head: You need to come and pick up your son and take him to the doctor, he seems to be having some kind of allergic reaction.
Parent: Well, I don't know what I am supposed to do about it.

Oh dear.

On another note,  here is something I learned recently.
 You should not jokingly call your friends "crackers" in front of genius two year olds who remember and repeat everything you say...because maybe she might start to call everyone she meets a cracker...

Ok, now I am done for real.

Can help you with your office but not the control freak thing..considering I am one. (I feel bad for your brother some days). See you in a couple of days!

yay mary! welcome to the blog world! I just had a comeback myself.

I, too, am obsessed with the Olympics and I was watching the syncronized divers too!!! Isn't it insane?! I always wonder who thought "hey, let's see if we can jump off a ridiculously high platform, do lots of crazy turns and flips, hit the water incredible fast AND see if we can both do it the SAME way and the SAME time?" And then, who decided it should be a sport?! Well, I don't know, but I know that I am very excited about it.

Here's to Olympics Insomnia!!!!
