Too many cooks in the kitchen

I love working with children as a teacher but sometimes when there are too many people who feel like they are the authority figure in the room it becomes a conflict of who is the most qualified to do the job. One thing I’ve learned over time is there can only be one Master chef and the rest have their own specialties but everyone compliments each other by working together there can’t be five master chefs and no subordinates because everyone is always going to buttheads at every turn since everyone feels like they are the one in charge.

I want to feel comfortable in my environment and right now I’m having trouble focusing on what I’m supposed to do when I’m constantly being redirected by the subordinates in the classroom and it gets frustrating sometimes but other than that today was a good day happy Monday.

I didn’t get the post yesterday

Yesterday I had a long day I got up first thing in the morning thinking I was going to go and do my second donation at plasma and got disappointed because their system was down I waited there for over an hour to no avail it was very disappointing I ended up having to leave it would have been my high day which I was kind of looking forward to but since that didn’t happen I figured I’ll go and take care of some other business. I left there came home and all of a sudden I felt drained I wanted to rest for a while I knew a friend of mine was going to an event later on and I was excited to go with him to that event we had talked about it and it was going to be a nice event but when it came time he asked me what I was going to do and I said I’m going with you and he commenced to tell me that I wasn’t going with him I was going to have to drive myself there and meet him there that was another disappointment because I didn’t think it made sense for us to be leaving from the same house going to the same event but in different cars so I decided not to go.

I decided to stay home take a nice long bath and relax for the rest of the day I was a little frustrated by the turn of events of the day but I was willing to just let the day slide by and start a new the next day so as I was in the tub I got a text from another friend of mine who invited me out to chill with her and had I had went to that other event I wouldn’t have been here to get that call so I went out with her and had a wonderful time came back home in high spirits sat down had a drink and went to bed happy the day wasn’t a total bust after all woke up this morning and enjoyed my Sunday I hope you enjoyed your day too. Sometimes taking care of self and your own mental stability can change everything around you self care is very important I’m learning that everyday.

I also was able to talk to my daughter and grandson and see his cute little bubbly face that made my day too I love when I have these moments to enjoy little times with family it makes life seem not so lonely and I also love my job very much the kids I work with can be challenging but that makes it that much better because they keep my mind running and they keep me focused on what needs to be done and I enjoyed that a lot too anyway good night

I woke up at 6:00 this morning and I looked at my phone I didn’t see any messages so I went back to sleep. I looked last night trying to see if I had work to come through for the next day and there was nothing there so when I finally got up started moving around I didn’t look at my phone until around noon again after I had gotten a phone call that’s when I realized I had missed money I hate when that happens because I’m always trying to make sure that I get all money in my pocket I will have to be more vigilant next time to make sure that I keep checking my phone and I keep it next to me so that this does not happen again we’re going into December and this year has went by so quickly I’m very happy about that and very excited about it as well this next year will be a test of time I have accomplished a few of my goals and will be continuing on that path for the next year anyway good night happy Tuesday

Today I had a very eventful day I was invited out to eat with a friend and had a very enjoyable time at Applebee’s football was on and the waitress was very attentive and caring it’s always nice to get out and have good company I even got to see the river I love the places here in Jacksonville. It’s always fun to be out in the company and have great people around to enjoy a night out with.

I also was able to get a few things done on my computer and set up a few things to get prepared for Thanksgiving and most importantly I talk to my daughter and my handsome grandson who always light up my life. Having them around has made my life a joy.

Now it’s time to get prepared for work tomorrow and get settled in for the holidays ahead this will be a great time to go out talk to my dogs and give them special treats so that they can feel a part of the holidays to have a great rest of your Sunday.

A rough day

I love what I do I love working with kids watching their minds grow but sometimes it can be tough they all have individualized personalities and want to be heard a lot of times all at the same time no matter how many times you might tell them raise your hand and wait your turn Johnny Joe is talking they still well yell out and let it be known what they have to say is of the utmost importance even if no one hears them because everybody is doing the exact same thing.

Today was one of those days and as I sit here thinking about it I chuckle a little bit because I know that it is just because they desire to feel important and be heard no matter how much is going on around them and that is the most important thing to them. As kids grow they are so involved in everything that sometimes we forget that they are still little and developing and learning as they move along through this thing called life and we have to take the time out to sit down and really listen for them to express whatever concerns they have that’s going on in their world.

That’s one of the reasons why I love what I do even if sometimes I leave out with my head pounding I still remember they are such a great part of my life to watch them grow and learn and explore the world around them and I am so grateful to be a part of it. Then I can try to remember the headache I was at their age and how my teacher was when she left going home after dealing with me on a day-to-day basis. Happy Thursday TBT.

I work with 5th graders today and they are kind of hard head they want what they want when they want them sometimes they are combative but I think that’s only because they are used to having leniency and getting their way. I enjoy watching them learn and try to maneuver their way around doing what they’re supposed to do instead of getting done all that they can accomplish if they would just get right to their work.

Sometimes when they’re all trying to talk at the same time to convey something that they feel is of the utmost important which mainly is to keep from doing whatever the assignment is I find myself saying multiple times to turn around sit back stop talking to your neighbor let’s focus on our work wow still trying not to chuckle under my breath because of how they’re so insistent on being heard that they will continue to evade doing the work no matter what it will cost them and free time later. I absolutely loved working with them wouldn’t trade them for the world it is the joy of my life.

I also found out my daughter is okay and I am happy about that as well even if she is just as stubborn as these young ones I work with she still comes out okay in the end. Happy Monday. I also completed my meal prep for the week so I have my shrimp with cheese sauce with some bow ties with chicken in a honey mustard sauce and macaroni with green beans and a cheese sauce came out really good happy with that meal eating healthy to help me function and stay well anyway good night.

Happy Friday

My brother Ben Junior is a veteran and my niece La’Keha is a veteran as well I am very proud of the two of them they served this country well I remember when my brother joined he was right out of high school and was leaving to boot camp my family and I went down to watch him graduate it was a proud day to see him he looks so handsome and we were so happy to be there we always supported each other when we did something great no matter how small.

When he went to Iraq it was a scary time for us didn’t know if you would make it back but wasn’t afraid because we knew if we kept the faith and supported him through it he would make it back home to us and he did he even did the reserves after he got out of active duty him and my knees both where in the Navy I’m proud of the both of them and I’m glad that they served this country well I had a desire to go into the service but did not make it because other plans were made instead.

Enjoy the rest of your holiday
