Things are better, I guess. I'm handling this a lot better this time around. I barely spoke for a month after I lost Tango. So that's a plus, I guess.

A parent gave me a copy of a book called Dog Heaven the day I left work early. Oh God, talk about tear jerker. I sniffle just looking at it.

I'm on my way out of my job. I've got two interviews set up. While it will be amazing to get out of there, I will miss my kids. I will miss some of my parents. I've moved up and been with these kids and parents for almost 2 years now. Some of them are just so kind to me. So amazingly kind, I feel terrible leaving them. But I can't thrive there. They aren't offering raises anymore, they give no health insurance, and they let two people do whatever they want, have off whenever they want, and leave the rest of us screwed. I'm done with the lies, I'm done with the callousness, I'm done with the excuses, and I'm done with the vindictiveness and the cheapness. An example.

On Friday, we had a parent bring in donuts for the teachers. Specifically for the teachers as a late Teacher's Appreciation gesture. Did we get them? NOPE. Our director swiped them and fed them to the kids. Not all of the kids though. The toddlers got 5 day old biscuits. Even though Friday is designated donut day. A day all the kids look forward to. So it's not like this was a special treat. The center already had donuts to give to these kids. It was just cheaper to take ours. So tired of it.

Watched Eurovision today. So glad Jedward lost. Ugh. Jedward. An embarrassment to humanity.And Moldova, was that a fever vision or what? Poor France. That man had such a great voice. I think Serbia induced many seizures with that background. The sand art from Ukraine was pretty though. The winners, while acceptable, were meh. But at least it wasn't Jedward. Sorry Ireland.

I have a toad now. I found it at work and it would not stay off the playground. She showed up on the Holy Thursday and then again two days after I lost Maxwell. I originally intended just to keep her for a week and use her as part of our lesson for the next week. It was creepy crawlies week the week we found her, Pets week the week after that. You can imagine how easy that one was for me. Ugh.

Otherwise? I'm doing nothing. It sucks. But that's life.
