Trapped

So, I wake up on Friday morning at 7:10am because I have to be at work by 8:00am. I take a shower and then I accidently cut myself on the leg. I walk to my bedroom door to go and get a bandaid that is in the other bathroom. I turn the handle to the door but nothing happens. I then get dressed (I decide this is a good thing to do in case someone has baricaded my door and is hiding to try to kill me or something on the other side) I then try with all my might to get the door open but it is just not happening. The metal part that moves in and out in the door is stuck (later to find out it was installed incorrectly). So I get a screw driver from Sam's tool box that he keeps in our bedroom and I take the door knob off. The whole taking the door knob off thing does not help me get out of the room but it does let me see through a tony whole that indeed I am the only person in our apartment. Then I decide to call Sam to come save me. Problem is he is about 30 minutes away playing basketball. Finally he comes home and ends up having to break the door down because their was no other way to get the door open. I ended up being 20 minutes late to work but I did have a good story to tell as to why I was late.

Not quite the perfect job

So as stated in my last post I was looking for an easy laid back job where I could come in anytime I felt like it. Instead for a summer job I got a job where I am on my feet 24/7 running around and working 40 + hours a week. I work as a teacher at a daycare. I fill in for whatever teacher is on vacation for that week. This week I am the preschool teacher (ages 1 year 1 month- 2 years 11 months) All of them can walk except for one but you can only understand the talking of 2 or 3 of them and none of them are potty trained. So basically I entertain babies, change diapers, clean up messes, and chase babies around. Yesterday I only had 4 kids. Today I had 10. Luckily if their gets to be more than 7 they have to get another teacher in to help me. This morning they were having a screaming battle and just about every single kid was screaming and crying at the top of their lungs. Sam says this is good birth control for me. I actually still think they are super cute even if they can be extremly annoying and they are soo much work. I was watching John and Kate plus 8 yesterday I don't know how they do it! I can handle it for the 8 hours but after that I am so exhausted and I just want to sit in silence for like the rest of the entire day! Still no interviews for a real job- hopefully they will happen soon. I heard before I should get a bunch at the end of August-- so we will see. I am taking a week vacation the first week of August so I am excited for that. I will be relaxing in the sun and resting-- it will be nice! Now, I get to go cook dinner and clean my own house... yeah!!
