Hey everyone it is Turkey day, like all the other people out there I will say something that I am great-full for, My family. Yes I know that is what everyone says and it is really just a catch all so I will give you an other one. I am thank-full for this pregnancy almost being done because holy crap I can't take much more of this.
Speaking of my pregnancy, not that you asked (or really want to know), It is going great. (Other then the fact that it is still going. GET OUT OF ME CHILD) Everyone tells you about the emotions that come with being with child but it is really hard to wrap your head around it until you are faced with it. I have been out of work for three months, Brian has been taking really good care of me. I HATE. REPEAT, I. HATE. BEING. OUT. OF. WORK. The daycare that I was working at closed it's doors. Long story that I probably won't tell. No one wants to hire someone that is 5 months pregnant and we where having a hard time due to all the injuries that made me almost lose Little One a few times,
Brian and I thought that it would be best If I went back to work after the baby. Back to the emotions, because I am out of work I am dependent on Brian and my Dad, anything that I want or need I have to tell them because I can't just take care of it myself. That is enough to make me go crazy. I have amazing friends and family that help me through whatever it is that I am going through.
Early this morning when Brian got home from work I was feeling very down. (Thanks to all the SAD buzzfeed videos that I watched. thanks buzzfeed.) I don't know, being out of work has been really hard to deal with. It makes me feel like I am always in peoples way and that I can't do anything for myself so I had a little of a melt down over it. Brian put me back together and I am fine now.
Before I was an expecting mommy It was always rather difficult to make me really cry. I cried out of empathy but it took a lot to make me cry for myself . I could also always cry on cue however it took some mental doing (Acting class!!!) Now I can cry on cue without really having to do anything. Think of something sad and done.
I cant wait to get back to normal. Anyway happy Turkey day and I hope you all have a great one!!!

SO MUCH STRESS
It has been a long while since I have posted anything. Most of this is because I have been under a LOT of stress. I know that I vent on here a lot and that is what helps release some of that stress but because i was unable to update you guys on what I needed to from my other posts I kept it all in. Sorry about that. Lets see if I can catch you guys up all in one go.
SPOOKER
Spooker was found guilty of abusing and neglecting Dino. This came at a really big cost, when he got to her over the whole play-doe thing she grabbed his neck so hard to throw him off that it left whelp marks on him. I didn't see them the day that he came home with them but I did see them three days after the event. They looked like the whelp marks that you get from burning yourself with a hair straightener mind you that was after three days of it healing up. Cops where called, DHS, my life turned into a ball of stress. DHS already didn't like the center because Director is a male and they have flat out stated that they hate that a male works in the center and they will keep coming at us in every way possible until he is gone. What this meant for us was that we where understaffed and DHS was up our tail every chance they got. We got written up at times for thing that (let me tell you) they made up! I am glad that Spooker cant work with kids anymore but wow I did not expect it to go like that. This goes along with Director's boss yelling and throwing tantrums that her little pet got booted. So not only did we have DHS but we had her.
BRIAN QUIT
So after all of that went down Brian ended up quitting his job. He really didn't have a option in the matter. He had laughed and joked at work when he accidentally took a seat on his self (meaning his balls) nothing more then that. A female worker told (unsure of this but it ended up being told to him like this) that he was offering to expose himself. WHAT!!!!! yeah that never happened. One of the managers threatened to ban him from the store and bring him up on charges. She wouldn't even listen to anything that he had to say. Then again I shouldn't be surprised about this due to the fact that he got written up for being "negative" yet they wouldn't tell him how he was negative or really even when he was, that screams BULL to me. The reason that they wouldn't tell him? "Well we can't give you to much information on it because you cant know who said it." ...........BULL More things went down but that is the sum of it.
SO MUCH FOR FRIENDS
I will not go into much detail about this one but a friend chewed him up one side and down the other saying that he was stupid for even having this child. needless to say I am not a fan of this friend even if he apologized. I am sorry I know so many people are "forgive and forget" but that is asking to be hurt again.
BLACK BUNNY
Need I really say more to this. My Bunnies are so funny. (tee hee)
INJURIES AT WORK
So on more then one occasion I have tripped or fallen at work. Working with kids it is something that happens. The last fall that I took was really nasty. I hit my head my tummy my back I got a huge cut on my butt. I had to go to the hospital and it became apparent to me for many reasons I had to let go of that job until at least the pregnancy is over.
CYST
Baby (GIRL!!!!!!!!!) had a cyst in the brain. This caused Brian and I many many sleepless nights but she is okay and the cyst is gone.

she is what PARENTS FEAR
So, this is a continuation from the last post. I have seen Spooker in action and it is horrific. All she does is sit in a chair and let the kids do WHATEVER they want. I have NEVER heard a class be that crazy. She has not been there a week (she played sick Monday and Thursday) and she has already had parent complaints. This was because she didn't even bother to smile and say hi in the mornings to anyone she just sat on her ass and did NOTHING. Now lets go through the week and what happened.
She didn't greet any parents, and when Popper walked in a baby was laying on the floor with all the big kids going crazy and running around him. A BABY was on the floor and he could have been kicked, tripped over, stepped on, this little one could have been really hurt and she didn't care. While all of this was going down, a small child (not even 2 yet) had his leg pinned and couldn't get out. He was screaming and crying. She didn't notice.
What is going to happen from here on out is I let her into the building (I have the keys) and I stick around till the next person shows up then I go home and sleep wake up and come in for my normal shift.
What I was told about her stands true. SHE HATES DIAPERS. I hate them too but I still do them. Her first day she PUSHED a child into my class room and told me to change him. Now Director isn't going for this, he has started making her do her own but that isn't going well. She had 2 kids that need to be changed every so often, one of them got changed ONCE and in that one change she used half the box of wipes on ONE wipe. the child later peed through that diaper because she never changed him again. The other child NEVER GOT CHANGED AT ALL. NOT ONCE. so he peed through his as well. Spooker you work in a day care, you cant push your diapers off on everyone else.
Spooker is always on her phone calling someone or just staying away from the kids. This was talked to her about and nothing has changed. A child got knocked to the floor because she was on her phone and didn't pay any attention.
There is an Autistic child in her care. (2 actually) this child she has already stated that she HATES (she has said it about both) We will call this kid Dino. So Dino loves dinosaurs!!! He rips up paper to make the shape of them and he plays with play-doe to make them and play with them. Dino is a sweet kid and he is always pretty good, as long as you don't touch his paper or play-doe or any toys that he has chosen that day. Dino never eats at the table and if he gets hungry he will ask you for food. Spooker has called this kid the DEVIL (His mom was not a happy person.) Spooker wanted him to eat with the kids (never going to happen) so she took away his play-doe.... she even bragged about how he wasn't going to hit her. she turned her back and WHAP right across the face. Later she did it again having not learned her lesson and again he socked her. He hit her twice and jumped of of something landing his elbow into her chest maybe 2 or 3 times. She demanded that he be sent home but that didn't happen. (me and another teacher had a good laugh and hugged Dino) When Dino's mom came we had to tell her and yay she gave him a high-five. Not that any of us want him acting out but when you call it upon your self by trying to pin that child down and take the things that make him calm. Weeeeeellllll. What can we say, she was told not to and she thought that she was above it all. Looks like she got what was coming to her on that one. We are fighting to try and get rid of her because none of us trust her with the kids. We are there to help them and teach them not punish them and make their lives hell.

How do you still have a job?
I you don't already know I am a teacher, now I would love for you to be thinking "So she went to collage and got her degree and did all the things that it means to become a teacher." Yeah, no, I don't have money for collage. I hardly have money for rent. What I did to become a teacher is work at a day care center, this means lesson plans, crazy kids, biting, kicking, hitting, all the things that normal teachers have to go through. Along with a TON of paperwork. I get to see the parents everyday too, and tell them first hand how their "Angel" is doing. This is a challenge at times (I'm rather blunt and need to gain more .... tact when it comes to this) but it is all good.
Now I just got my personal class room set up (YAY ME, I am so excited) I will be taking the 2 year olds which I have done before. (They listen better then the 3's and 4's so I am all good) This is just on time for the "new" teacher. This teacher has a reputation that proceeds her, not in a good way, She has worked for the company for 9 years however she has no degrees (Master Teacher is what we should have but don't need, it gets us more money and a higher rank among teachers) This teacher (let us call her ... Spooker <= I will explain) has already started to make waves in my little school. There are a few different shifts you can have
6:30 - open, Panda queen
7:00 - Popper
8:00 or 8:30 Directer and Silly momma
9:00 ME
12:00 Tapper
Spooker has demanded Open and my boss's boss gave it to her. with means that she kicked Panda queen off of her shift and you have to puss her back. This doesn't really affect me but it was still really rude. Spooker has also stated that she is the number 2 in the daycare even though Silly momma out ranks her with her degree (unless you have the same one or a better one she is the second in command.) Not to mention that she WILL NOT DO DIAPERS. Which if you work with young kids comes will the job.
Director, my boss, and Silly momma have both worked with her and have warned me to stay away from her be nice but never tell her anything personal because she will use anything to stab you in the back. Spooker will be really mean to kids. If she finds out that a child is scared of something she will chase them with that thing. A child was scared of snakes and she chased him with a rubber one until he was balling and peed his pants. Pushing kids down, belittling them, eating a huge bag of candy and not sharing with them, being mean to kids is her everyday. Not to mention if you even step a toe out of line she will report you to Boss's boss or DHS (they are a pain)
This is just what I heard and I want to make my own conclusions but I will be wary of her. I was warned by two people that had no idea that the other warned me saying the same things. I am going to give it a few weeks (Give her time to show her true self) and we will see what she is really like. I will give you updates of all the crazy things that go down.
(p.s. I have thought about doing a thing, like every week I put up one post of "Secret thoughts of a teacher" where I tell you what runs through my mind working with kids and what they did to make me think it. tell me what you think!)
