Never a Dull Moment

You may think you lead an exciting life but try topping my afternoons. I go into work at the daycare center at noon usually, unless I'm needed to cover an earlier shift. All the kids are laying down for naps by this point and I'm in one room from 12-2 to give the women who've been there since 7 a lunch break. So I'm sittin there right, and all of a sudden about all 20 kids magically have to go the bathroom. Then we run out of toilet paper. Then kids are cryin because it's too cold. Finally peace and order is restored and naptime is offically in progress.I look up at one point and half the kids are sleeping with their butts in the air and half are either coughing or farting. It's true...every. single. word. I can't even make this stuff up yo. Kids are amazing. You have your senstive ones who cry at the drop of a hat. Then you have the ones that yell and kick or throw little tantrums. My favorite ones are the dramatic kind. I caught one kid in my class ( which is the afterschool class ranging from 5-12) literally dragging himself on his stomach across the gym floor saying " oooh my kneeee!" and then BAM 2 minutes later he's kicking a ball to another kid. It's amazing how that happens. I found one little girl slurping milk off the table. Another kid was dumping glitter in the glitter box and then I walked over to discover The Great Flood by the water fountain. I'm guessing it was the short ones who couldn't reach and decided that trying to throw water in the direction of their mouths seemed like a good idea. Someone wised up today though and I found a chair by the water fountain. I have grown to love each and every sigle one of those kids but boy can they wear you out. That being said I'm going to go wash away the glitter and glue stuck between my fingers and hopefully not dream of farting 3 year olds. God bless their little hearts.
