Well, within the last week, i've been spit on, puked on, pissed on, drooled on, snotted on, spilled on and painted on. And to think i've paid for this!!! at lunch hour during the first day, I was seriously questioning my decision - what the hell was i thinking?? I hate kids!!! but when we left at the end of the day, and the kids didn't want us to - kept hugging us and trying to make us stay - i was hooked. Since then, as hard work as it has been, i've enjoyed it. (i do use the word 'enjoy' lightly) .
I've learned that I'm not nearly as bad with kids as i thought. But i've also reinforced the decision that I never want to have any of my own.
These kids come from some horrific backgrounds, and have some pretty intense physical, mental and emotional issues, so it's been quite a challenge for my patience, but i'm learning as I go. All in all, it's pretty rewarding, and i think the next six weeks wont' be so bad.
Talk to you all soon!!
