Im only really writing this because it was a lot of fun yesterday and i worry if i dont write it then ill forget it.
im at work..nothing new there because its turning out that once again im ending up more on the weekend shift than anything else..so we are at work and saturday was a waste of a day because we had to stay in group for most of it to deal with an issue that we didnt even finish until sunday morning..and it was a stupid issue to begin with but then one of the kids thought they could outlast us counselors in the waiting game and thinking we would give in and they would get out of the whole thing..but nope with me and jim we are pros at waiting out a liar and so we waited for a almost a day and a half ..and we had already reached a conclusion for who we had thought did it and everything but we didnt call anyone out on it..so we made everyone wait and oh some of them were so pissed off..but anyway we got it dealt with on sunday and after all the chores and stuff we had to get done we were going to go bowling and shopping for some stuff..jim and i decided we would do something fun with them before all the other stuff happened and we were going to make halloween rice crispy treats..well the blowing didnt work out because they were crowded and we needed 2 lanes and it was getting late so we just went to walmart and hung out there and picked up some stuff for our activity..well of course we get in the store and im overly excited about the halloween sprinkles being on sale and getting to look at all the decorations and then i found the colored applesauce and had to look at it and the colored oreos and had to look at them too..a butt load of marshmellows later jim finally gets me out of the store because im fully ready to spend all of our money and stuff we dont need at all..and he walked away when i remembered i wanted jelly beans and wouldnt rest until i found some that i couldnt get in the end anyway lol..so seriously we got like 7 bags of marshmellows and then used 2 more bags we had here!! and we made orange and black rice crispy goo..ive only made rice crispy treats maybe once in my poor life and so we are in the kitchen making huge batches and im watching them melt and start going all gooey and sticky and finding it really funny..because we are trying to start dinner at the same time but taking all the big pots to put marshmellows in..well i start adding the orange food coloring and of course the store had to make it hard and not have just plain old orange ..nope so im mixing red and yellow together and got pink first..then it moved into a funny salmon color with like neon yellow streaks in it..and i kept adding in yellow and finally it kept going until i got some form of orange..but of course this is me and im having a great time laughing at the non orange mix in the pot and then i learned that adding the cereal and stirring it up part of the way and letting it drop back into the pot makes it look like snot..by now im not even trying to finish mixing it up because im having to much fun laughing at the orange snot ive turned out..and then i decided it looked like spiderwebs because of how it was pulling apart :) i think by then i was enjoying it way more than the other kids lol...and jim ended up with a slightly purple looking black but the kids did have a good time playing in it and making different halloween things..they made monsters and pumpkins, witchs hats, bat, rats..lots of different stuff..and it was a lot of fun..they asked to do it again at christmas and we have no problem doing it again at all..it was easy and fun and with guidelines it was a mess but without being really messy and of course it works out because i had fun doing it and jim didnt care that i was having a ball doing nothing but playing in the food coloring..he was happy i was happy..and im very proud of my bat thats orange and black and had colored sugar on it..although i am now sick to death of marshmellows!!!
the thing i dont get is that the kids had a great time doing it and the boss is being a dork and not letting them help plan out what they want to do on wed..it doesnt make sense because they are really coming up with some good ideas and they are being blown off completely ..its not fun and im not working on weds although it would have been a lot of fun if we were..im not going to complain and all the kids are asking that we come in on wed to join in..and its like i dont want to be here if the boss is just going to suck all the fun out of it...but all of the kids enjoyed yesterday and it took nothing to take the time to get the supplies and let them go at it..they entertained themselves and everyone participated so i dont see what the problem is..but im not in charge and so i guess what i think doesnt matter anymore...
im still really upset about the whole job thing but i dont know..right when its getting to the point that i can happy to come and hang out with my group i realize they are going home in a couple months..some are talking about coming back and its like i dont know if ill be here..im pretty sure i wont be here but i havent told anyone that expect jim and mommy because well i just did..some of them i would love to work with again..they are finally figuring out that me and jim do know what we are doing and we arent doing stuff to be mean to them..we were told by one of the kids over the weekend that we are the only ones that take initiative and do anything around here..we dont let them slack on the cleaning or anything when we are here..and the other side of the shift does..they are supposed to be counselors but when they are told about the bathrooms being clogged or something small that they can fix or get fixed they leave it for three days or more and then we come on shift and its like ok who did it and why hasnt it been cleaned up..and we are told that they told the other counselors and they did nothing to get it fixed..and its frustrating because we have other things we need to do and they are keeping things in order when they are on and so we always have to look like the bad guys because we make them clean and do what they are supposed to do...and its other stuff too like putting gas in the bus when they come back or cleaning the kitchen after meals correctly..checking there belongings to make sure they are clean and folded..keeping up with laundry..stuff like that..and to make things even better the wonderful office ppl have decided they need to lock up all the food!!!!!! this morning we come down for breakfast and everything is still locked and we cant get into anything to make the breakfast or get what we need and it seriously pissed me off..on mondays the manager is supposed to get breakfast done and he wasnt here..we dont have a key and this weekend we could only eat what was left out for us..who does that to a bunch of kids at school?? it makes no sense because sometimes the meals dont work out or the kids dont want them or its too late to fix a full meal at 8 at night and no one is hungry..its not fair at all that we dont have a key to get into stuff ..and i can understand the locking it part if ppl are coming in and taking food but we cant be locked out on school mornings when we are supposed to be making oatmeal or something and nothing is taken out and we cant get into anything..they had toast and yogurt for breakfast because that was all that was there and all we could make...im sick to death of our menu..im sick of cold cereal or instant grits/oatmeal for breakfast every morning..im sick of having spaghetti every week along with grilled chicken salad..every week its the same food again and again and again..im sick of being stuck in cold buildings because no one will turn the heat on for us because everything is locked and we cant get into it..the kids are sick of it because they tell us so..and then no one listens when we complain or ask for keys or tell them this isnt working at all...no it makes no sense to me and this morning just killed it for me and i was incredibly incredibly upset when i realized they expected us to make breakfast but well nothing is unlocked..no i wasnt happy this morning at all and im still a bit pissed off about all of it...
