Day From the Underground Place
Apr. 14th, 2012 12:55 pmI don't normally hold with all the Friday the 13th stuff, but good grief how many things can go wrong in one day.
I was over ratio right from the beginning of the day but fortunately got a floater so not so bad really. Monday is moving day for a few of my kids which means I'll be getting new ones from the 2s class with all their stuff to be put in the cubbies. Many things to get done during naptime and not usually a problem. By 1:00 all my kids save two were snoozing nicely the one I was putting to sleep was just closing her pretty little eyes to nap when the fire alarm went off. Piercing screech to wake up the dead and 12 toddlers. Grabbed kids roster and coats and Tusi (my current TA) and I shuffled twelve half asleep and hysterical 2year olds out into the melting snowy playground.
Evidently the management were having some problem child running around and he pulled the fire alarm...Charming.
Nap-time a total not happening today event, after that and the rest of the day? No nap toddlers fighting crying screaming and resisting all attempts at calm and peace.
Thank God it was Friday.
Also, at my house 9 people an infant and a dog. I need a vacation.
ETA I also seem to have forgotten how to use commas...*g*
