Good friends will always come running...

September 17, 2010

Got up and got ready for work. Prayed for God to give me strength to get through the day and had a very good morning this morning. Jordan, one of my favorite little boys in the toddler room, sang me Happy Birthday (a day late, but that's okay) and I just love the way he says, "Ms. Hillary." I then went to the baby room to help Erin out for an hour, but a half hour in, got asked to go back to the toddler room to help Yana even though she had Miss Sallie and everything seemed to be under control.

Went on my lunch break at the coffee shop and wrote Darrick and then went back to work. While I was giving Tasha her break this afternoon, Jo came in, which really got my heart to racing at first. But, all she asked me was if I could go to the baby room with Erin when I was finished breaking Tasha, so that she could take the babies outisde. So, I went outside with the babies for awhile and then went back to the toddler room where I had to lay the smack down because Jailyn was letting them climb on furniture and could not get them to clean up for the life of her. Going out twenty minutes later than normal, I finally got the kids under control.

The day ended and it was the first day since I've been here that I haven't gotten yelled at!!!! Whoo hoo! Went to the coffee shop after work and waited almost 2 1/2 hours for Darrick to show up, who ended up being hungover. ha ha But, given the fact that the boy never goes out, I couldn't be mad that he didn't get out of bed early to talk to me. If I was hung over, I wouldn't get out of bed either. Ended up talking to him for several hours on skype and Erin, leaving me around 8:45, came running back down at 10:00 when I had yet to return... Darrick had said that if Erin really cared about me, she'd come back. And she did. ha ha Sorry, Erin! Didn't mean to freak you out!

Came home, had a bowl of cereal for dinner (hello, college days again!), started laundry and packed for London for the weekend! Whoo hoo! So excited.

Things I learned today:

1. If I don't come home within a reasonable amount of time, Erin will come looking for me.

2. Internet in the coffee shop is terrible. But, walk ten feet outside and the signal is superb. You just have to freeze to get it. LAME!
