Well, the board is making us houseparents log what we do every hour of the day. Because, as the other girls' houseparents put it, "They think we watch soap operas and eat bonbons all day." Wanna know what I did today?
Here it is:
Thursday, May 3, 2012
6:00 am- make breakfast (eggs and bacon), talk to WK
6:30- fold house laundry & put away
6:40- sign a scholar's quarter 3 report card for her teacher
6:45- check off a scholar's deep clean (completed this morning)
6:50- room checks
6:55- do dishes from breakfast
7:00-9:00- break
9:30- drop off application for scholar for summer job
10:00-12:45- girls' school for office hours. Check e-mail, scholar grades, pick up notes for senior scrapbook
12:00 pm- ASC weekly meeting at Loyola; talk to program director about car accident
1:30- country club in Glencoe to pick up scholar summer job applications
2:30-3:00- put away clean dishes
3:00-4:45- break
4:45-5:00- drive to the Youth Job center
5:00-5:30- meeting at Youth Job center
5:30-6:30- house dinner; talk to the girls about upcoming events
6:30-8:00- check and answer e-mail, make flyer for Northwestern college panel
8:00-8:15- call a scholar's mentor
8:15-8:45- make notes in log book
8:45-9:00- talk to a scholar about study
OK I don't want to totally freak you out. To be fair, this is what a longer, busier day looks like. Most days I go 3-11 without a break, which is WAY better than 6am-9pm with 2 2-hour breaks.
...BUT STILL. Clearly I sit around watching T.V. all day. NOT. This job has given me so much respect for stay-at-home parents.
