Helpful hospitality!

October 14, 2010

Worked in preschool this morning, which was probably the longest morning ever. Went to the mini-gym and actually got complimented by Jan because Tasha and I brought in the parachute and I taught the kids how to play popcorn and Ring around the Rosy with it. 

Then went to the yellow room to change diapers, lay out the mats and feed the kids lunch before I went back to the red room where I got Hannah to sleep in record time by forcing her to keep her hands under the blanket, so she couldn't play.

On my lunch break like normal, I went to the coffee shop for internet.

I was by myself this afternoon again and got hit and scratched by Willie. However, Jan did come in for part of the time that I was changing diapers, which was helpful. At the end of the day, I had the kids help me clean out the water table and then Erin came in for the last ten minutes to sit with the kids, so that I could wash the toys and get to internet quicker. 

Watched Toy Story III and talked to Darrick until a little before nine and the coffee shop lady (our favorite one) offered us some pickles because she bought a huge jar. ha ha

Had another MP stop us on the walk back and ask us if we needed a ride. We were literally right in front of the dorms, so we declined, but then he asked us if we were the new interns, whether we liked it here, how Germany compared to here and then told us his name was Jake and that, if we needed help, he lived in the dorms too. Not sure we'll need help, but rides home from internet late at night in the cold might be nice in that nice MP truck. ha ha

Came home and made jambalaya for Erin and I and watched an episode of Project Runway and now it's time for bed. 

Things I learned today:

1. Now that other people have had the luxury of working with Yailyn, they understand that I wasn't over exaggerating about her! I mean the two nicest people at the CDC are annoyed and kind of pissed off at her right now!

2. I know I've said it before, but I can't get over the hospitality of most of the people on this base. Except the ones in the managerial positions at the CDC. Just our luck. ha ha
