Still recharging

The spa party was pretty fun. Even though I didn't really "spa", instead I helped my friend with it since there were so many guests. I really enjoyed getting to hang with my cousin whom I don't see very often since she lives across town, and we are both so busy with our kids. It was great getting away for a few a having a girls night.

I would have posted about this yesterday, but I didn't have the chance. That's because I had my first sub job yesterday! Yeah me! It was kindergarten, so that wasn't too bad, but I was still really nervous. I did manage to get through the day, and I will do it again. At least now I have my foot in the door and know a little bit more about what to expect. I was wore out by the end of the day. Caring for my 3 is nothing compared to caring for 16, (very energetic), five year olds. Thank goodness a lot of the staff there already knows me, and were very nice and helpful.
Today I get to relax and recover from yesterday by cleaning my neglected house, and disposing of my son's dead turtle. Yes, that is a whole other story....when I woke G-man up this morning, I noticed an awful smell in his room. I finally checked the turtle, whom we have had for close to 2 years, and he wasn't moving. "Sorry guys....your turtle is dead. No, he's not just sleeping....I poked him and he didn't move." They were upset. I probably should have waited until after school to have told them. Oh well, such is life...........Now I have to figure out how to dispose of it. Wait a minute....today is trash day, or should I bury him? What do y'all think?

Sorry to hear about your turtle. Tough call on disposing of him. If it is easier for your son to say goodbye with a burial maybe that is the best way.

Congrats on the sub job, and getting your foot in the door. 16-5 years olds is a very energetic group to have. I understand why you are tired. I used to teach 16 2-3 years olds for 9 hours a day. Thankfully I had an aide to help lighten the load. However when you get more than 8 of any age it seems to be total chaos!
Good luck on future sub jobs:)

Sorry about the turtle. Personally I would bury it. Hold a funeral for it; especially if it was a pet that the kids cared about. It'll make the greiving process a little easier.
Your spa party sounded fun. Is it through a company like the Pure Romance parties?
Congrats on the sub job. I can imagine that 16 5-year-olds can zap your energy like no other. Catch up on your rest this weekend...especially if you spent all day today cleaning your house.
