One of those Days...

This is one of those days where I feel like I'm working really hard but getting nothing right. This is one of those days where no one is communicating with me. This is one of those days where the girls keep criticising me for every little thing, and I can't let it affect me or I'll explode.

*Sigh*

I didn't want to write another negative entry, because I feel like I'm making everyone worry.

Sure TODAY is one of those days, but Saturday was a great day. Nina, Wilma and N and I worked in an old folks' home. Nina cooked a buttload of scrambled eggs, N made bacon, and Wilma and I were on roll control. The residents were SO much fun. They were talking to us and joking around with us and laughing up a storm. N practiced her Spanish with one of the residents, and even called out Bingo numbers in English and Spanish. Nina was helping a resident with a craft. Wilma had some very profoud things to say during the reflection afterward. Never have I been so proud of the girls. They engaged with the residents and really cheered them up. They took the PFO really seriously.

Thinking about that is already making me feel better. I'm going to make a list of other things that have gone well lately:

TTHGWL:
-I've been good about updating the bullitan board.
-I've gone to the girls' schools every week. Even though I usually only see them in passing, I think they like seeing me around.
-I completed all the PFO forms so far and am going to turn them into the school tomorrow.
-Even though Nina drives me crazy sometimes, we're pretty close.
-I feel really comfortable working with Cris.
-The girls make me laugh a lot, and I make them laugh a lot.
-I left the girls' encouraging notes on their report cards and asked them a few of them to meet with me to discuss grades.
-There are 3 home weekends in November (meaning 4-day weekends for me)!!! Plus Mom, Dad and Rach are coming to visit me this weekend :)
