I admit I was a mean childrens-village-mum-replacement today and continue to do so until thursday I admit I told our five challenging kids that there wont be any further laptop and pc time until my live-in-shift-period is over on thursday as quite frankly it isn't too much to ask from them to do their part of our deal, too (like putting their coats on the hanger instead of chucking it into the corner, putting their breakfast dishes into the dishwasher, too, clearing up spillages they left etc)... I admit I wrote down many basic petty things they didnt bother to do and was shocked and saddened about how much I got together in just 5-10 minutes... I admit my colleague agreed and a moment later L messed up the floor in the hallway, left his sugar and coffee spills on the kitchen top and flooded the kitchen when he just washed a carrot for their guinnea pig I admit once you multiply that mess with five kids and a few times per day the house doesn't look that nice anymore...and its not my job to clean up at night so quite frankly they get what they asked for I'm in their neck instantly now I admit it's saddening that they need it but ok...I'm there and happy to help I admit I'm dead serious about it and the kids accepted it astonishingly well... I admit, though, our 8 year old threw a big temper tantrum after dinner after the olders told something he did not want us to know... I admit, though, it was nice to see how the older ones sorted him out with carrying him to bed and changing him into his pj's... I admit I'm knacked and hoped to go to bed at 8.30pm as I have a busy day ahead with meetings and therapy trips with kids but as I'm working with fuss pot A tomorrow I ensure even more spotless tidyness for tomorrow...though doubt that I can satisfy that one I admit time to finish off the kitchen, lunch boxes and office duties to then hopefully get my four hour nap at 1am...to have a chance to function tomorrow I admit today I was already lost in thoughts and tiredness at a local store when my big boss greeted me I admit wtf did he have to be there today, I never met him there before
