The Cosmic Crapper

This last month and a half has been a giant 'what is going on moment' . After the little sis' accident, i had a interview at LMS, for two positions, i got a letter in the mail about one of them but not the other, so i email the assistant principal and voila.... NOTHING...!!! I find it slightly rude that they won't even return an email after fibbing that the position was open to begin with.
Anyways, I'm going stir crazy. My job at the daycare center is about two inches from making my head explode. I've got little 'darlings' that bite... each other, themselves, and me; they hit hard and often. The director is pretty much a penny pincher. And get this... one year olds are allowed 1/2 a slice of toast, 2 chicken nuggets, or one french toast stick to eat... no seconds allowed... I'm sorry every one year old in that room is so hungry after lunch is over that they scavenge for food that has fallen on the floor. There are four adults in the room with 16- 17 kids(by the way the DSS ratio for this age is 4 kids to 1 adult). We have parents that ' forget' to bring diapers or wipes... parents that don't think diaper rash is bad... even when blisters start to form. We have a parent that insists that her daughter is not moved down to the infants room when we are over ratio... and our director makes us move her... so i get the glares when she comes to pick the little girl up... and today she paid her final check and is taking the girl out... Now who do you think is going to get in trouble for this. The teachers in my room.
I've been trying to write but my brain keeps being interrupted by other thoughts and ideas. Sometimes i just want to sleep rather than do anything.
