so about my day...

It has been one of the weirdest days working with the kids. I don't think I even want to go into full detail of the blood I saw today. I am pretty much a tough chick...I can handle a lot but today really had me reaching for the door for fresh air and praying to the good Lord above that this child didnt sneeze blood on me. To top it off her father is a refugee from Cuba (please no getting mad I am just saying that is what he is) so his English is broken. Its like a cross between Spanish/English and the communication lines are just shot between us and him. Gotta give the man (who is almost 70 yeah 70 her mom is 39!) credit for raising a child who came into the world addicted to crack and alcohol. I was sitting at work when I had the chance, and thinking how HOW does a person bring a child into the world addicted like that....I don't know it just brings me down. I guess a positive side to all this blood (and I won't even go into what or how or even how much and the texture LOL) I had a really fast work day. Though I switch gears tomorrow to my new job. The next few weeks will be stressful because silly me has to help everyone else out. I am so silly like that! I think I will adjust well to my new position but there is just a lot already in progress and I have to do more. I am thinking that my office needs some sprucing up. I need some pictures on the wall, a plant and some desk toys to keep me busy. I also need a radio and a clock. I think I have the clock figured out..I mean I have one on my computer but seriously I need a wall clock....I do have a window though its small so I am proud to at least have some light in the place :) I wish I could be more sarcastic today but I think I am all out of it today. Maybe more after my Iced Coffee!

Don't you worry about your desk. I have some things coming to you to help spruce things up for you. Just a congratulatory present on your new job! :)

Spanglish I tell you is fun. My family speaks Spanish but most of the time its Spanglish nowadays. I love it...

Sorry you had a gross day.
