I may need a "I work and have a life outside of the internets" icon

Soooo. I just came home from six hours of work and I'm completely beat, no only because I'm not used to having a job like this and haven't worked like this with kids in a good long while and also because I slept very little last night (yay, anxieties). I helped out in a kindergarten class today, 15 kids, a bunch of them clearly spawns of Satan in their spare time, but while the first half hour was hell -- plucked the hairpin out of my hair and tore my clothes and took my things, refusing to give them back unless I actively wrestled them out of their hands -- the rest of it was cake. I actually got to have circle time all by my lonesome, which was surprisingly fun. I'm working again tomorrow, same hours, same place, and while I may whine about this I'm secretly thrilled. I get monies! Doing something that's fun and easy! My brother says I was born to be a kindergarten teacher, apparently.

My niece is turning 2 years old tomorrow, and my father is 56 the day after that, so this is birthday week at Chez Eriksson. In addition to that, my sister and her boys are coming up on Friday and everybody is thrilled about this, even Dad, though he tries to pretend not to be. And then it's Easter and Easter break and we're all pretty stoked about this. (It is also, additionally, a whole Easter break without Miranda, and while I love the girl, that too feels a lot like a holiday.)

Now, I'm going to unwind with some fic, eat something and shower and stop feeling like an adult, because it's freaking me out.
