This weekend has already been so long. I'm getting my days mixed up. I have to remember tomorrow is Sunday. It won't seem like it 'cause I have the conference...again.
Last night wasn't so bad. I was watching just like a few kids at night in a room and stuff.
Today, however, wasn't as great. They put me in a room with nothing but a tv and some videos to entertian like 8 or more kids (they kept going in and out so I lost count of how many there actually were) Evan didnt' want to share his trains with another boy and I had to keep watching hima nd dealing with his hissy fits. There was an autistic boy there...Noah...he's actually pretty good and all and was fine with the rowdiness and transitioned well. He was non-verbal though. As long as he had something to play with he was fine. He had the cutest laugh. He'd just laugh and laugh and laugh sometimes. It was great. I just had to make sure he didn't get hurt or climb on the tv cart or escape. Some of the other kids weren't so great. They got whiney and didn't always listen and got wrestless. I didn't get signing materials until like 10:30. (so I had like two hours with nothing to do with them) and then they didn't want to learn signing and we just watched part of a video and did some games. Gosh it was a long day. I had the kids out on the beach for awhile so at least we were out of that one room. I think I got a bit of sun.
Ugh I hope I get more help tomorrow. Evan will have to go potty or like a 5 year old girl and I don't want to send them by theirself by I dont' have anyone to take them. gah! I can't just leave a room full of kids alone people!
It's ok I'm a trooper I"m hanging in there. Tomorrow, hopefully won't be quite as long. I think I get out at 6. hmm I wonder if I have to work monday. My boss Lillian is going to Epcot with some of her people from Washington. Day off? please! I've only really had one in the past 2 weeks.
My dad upgraded our phone service to cingular something or other (supposedly better...we'll see). I got a new fun. It's not a flip phone which I liked but it's in color. ohhh color! And it actually has games on it! The keys are kinda funky but I guess I'll adjust. I'm still playing with it and stuff. I don't have everyone's phone number transfered to it either 'cause I have to do that manually.
My parents also left this morning on vacation. woo I have my room to myself for a week! yes! Apparently my sister wanted to make me sleep in the bunk on the rv which is like a single bed. hah! umm no you're the little one sucker!
I really wish my mom wouldn't have left out the left overs all day or that one of my brothers had thrown them out. It smelled horrible when I got home. ugh. Nobody ever does stuff around here so I'll probably end up cleaning up after everyone the next week. the punks.
I should go to bed..there's not really anyone online or anything. punks.
