Tuesday: all hell broke loose in our cottage. and yes, it was really that bad. and keep in mind, the kids are in school for most of the day.
Wednesday: our wonderful co-workers helped us recover from the previous night, and stuff is starting to look up a bit.
Thursday: We went to training out of town for the day, and were supposed to go off for the weekend that night. Unfortunately, our relief houseparents had a death in the family, so we got Thursday night, and Friday night off, and go back on Saturday morning.
Friday: ...nothing super exciting happened. just slept up, and ..well, didn't really get a day off; we had to keep running to the office about kids we have to take to the doctor before the office re-opens and other crises with kids and stuff. ...But we weren't responsible for WATCHING (or feeding. :D ) kids.
Which brings us to today. We came back on duty fairly early (...I guess 9ams not THAT early...), and had a pretty good day. The one good thing about being suprise on-duty this weekend, is that the hard day to plan (Saturday), was actually pretty easy, because our kids already had their day planned out from about 9-6, and they're supposed to go to bed at 8:30. We had a church group come visit and do some activities (and feed!) our kids, so it was pretty chill for us. We spent the majority of the day building and shooting off bottle rockets. I helped one of our boys make one (and it went pretty good! :D mostly straight line, and a pretty good distance), but somehow my husband and I ended up with this one:
yeah, cute little ladybugs all over it and everything. Pretty sure it's not one of the boys'. ;)
In any case, we're pretty tired, but today went well, and it seems like things are looking up, and will smooth out soon. :D
