Today I cared for the family. I took time to take a 40 min walk (it felt great!) I woke up around 5 am to care for Prof Zoe, and never really got back to sleep. That was OK as I got to have devotional time with the TA, and be a little more grounded for the day. It was very good that I got grounded, because the lack of sleep meant that I was very cranky today. I really enjoyed my walk and that helped. I spent a good portion of the day making gift items for a craft sale that's coming up soon. But the nice thing about the crafts I'm doing are the ability to stop and help children easily (not that I did very often but I still COULD have). I managed to make bread, do some laundry, pay a bill, make a call, etc. I feel like I got a good bit accomplished today. I had the kids begin the cleanup process much earlier than usual. I tried to make upbeat and fun. That lasted 5 minutes. Then we transitioned straight into the usual bargaining-threat-punishment-toy confiscation, escalation process. But I have to say that in the end the Profs did a great job of cleaning to the degree that I thought was needed. I was not as good at being civil as I could have been, but I was not as bad as I could have been either. Considering all the factors I think I got a B today.
I am trying to continue to remember that I love my Job.
