Today was another crazy busy day!! Metro theater awards ceremony! We didn't win but it was an honor to be nominated!!!
On my Senior Service today I learned that, in order to be respected, occasionally we need to be down right mean. Today I worked for a short blip of time in the preschool downstairs and the children are outright nasty. I was covering while the teacher was on lunch and I was by myself, so I had no teacher validating my authority to the kids. They were HORRIBLE! It was nap time and almost none of them fell asleep when they were supposed to. I realized about 10 minutes in that if you threaten to write their name on the board, they will do whatever it is you are attempting to convince them to do quickly and quietly. They had such disrespect for me that it took several names on the board for them to realize that I meant business, but I believe that I finally earned their respect and that will hopefully help me tomorrow.
Signing off,
Angie
