August 2

Today was another good day. I helped out in classrooms. I floated around. I haven’t made it to other classes yet but will make it there.

In today's nannying, I went to the Indian grocery store. To their house to fold laundry, put clothing and laundry away, and cut veggies. I cut the garlic, onion, cauliflower, mint, hot pepper, and beans. I started with cutting the hot pepper, then garlic, and then cried cutting my onion. If you know me, you know I am sensitive to those smells and irritated eyes.

August 1- 1 day of children

Today was the first day the children came to school. It was a lot of fun. I am a whole lot more comfortable there than at my previous job. It's either the school layout, the teachers, the small teacher-to-student ratio, or being able to go in, see and get a feeling for it though I am exhausted: I went to many different classrooms. I have a checklist of classrooms I have been to and have not been to. I haven't figured it out, but I will. I know with the little ones, I am going to have help. Today I floated in and out of classrooms. That will be what I am doing for this week and next week.

My commute is different and in a different direction, but I like it better because I get to see horses and goats or donkeys. Plus, having driven there during the summer to get paperwork and interviews, some of the roads are the same. Plus, I sometimes drive by the hardware store I have been to. But also, Vickory Village I drive by.

I know the school year is starting because the rain keeps falling in the afternoon just as I am about to leave. If you know me, you know I hate driving in the rain. Especially thunder and lightning storms.

There are also so many rotaries I get to drive through, and they are fun when I don't mess up the turn. Buffalo did help in that way, and my driving teacher.

I also learned when I was trying to create an event to remind myself to do something that if something repeats on a certain day of the month, it's not weekly. It's Monthly.

June 26-June 29

This week was preparation for the students. Thursday was when the students came to meet the teachers. It went well. They all seemed excited to come to school. I said hi, my name is ms Sheila the floating para for the whole time, so they knew I was a person. I also drank my entire real coffee that morning. I also, after work, go to the three-year-old house to do household chores for the mom. I enjoy doing that. So yesterday, we got out early, like 1 30, and I went to errands for the three-year-old mom.

Today I had off from work. So today, I nannied for the three-year-old. It was good. We went to the collections at Forsyth. We lasted about half an hour. Then she got hot and tired. Then we had to go home to get her blanket. So we did, and I dropped her off at her aunty's house. My parents have left me to fend for myself tonight. Granny didn't want me but thinking more about it; she probably wanted to be alone and not have any people because she was getting Regina. Regina's house has been getting renovations for a while. Regina moves into granny on Sunday. So, they both probs wanted peace and quiet and no socializing. Today I put windshield squish in my car. Alone. When I got home from going to Kroger to get my dinner, Gypsy was licking her bowl. Also, that dog can hear. She has been faking the fact that she can't hear. I let her out, and she was butt scouting and running around in circles before she went to the yard, so at that time, a thunder clap came, and she was like, nope.

Tomorrow, I hope to sleep in. I need sleep. I am a tired person.
