Shoulda called in sick

When I woke up this morning I was seriously contemplating calling in sick. No I was not actually sick enough to miss work although I did cough all weekend long. But I really didn't feel completely up to par. And I have a ton of sick days racked up because after working at a daycare for five years I have this incredible immune system and I never really get more than a little sniffle or sore throat. Plus I was just really tired because I got to bed about 1:30. (I leave my house at 6:30.) But feeling guilty I pressed on and went to work. Even when I was driving to work I thought about calling in, turning around and going back to bed. But I didn't. I should've. The kids were pretty cranky just because it was Monday. And there's this one little boy who makes the room a completely different place. He's moving up to the next room on Monday and I can't wait. It's just a lot more peaceful when he's not in the room. But this same little boy is the on who has a habit of bringing me his poop in his hand to let me know he needs to be changed. Very frustrating. I went on break today and when I got back I thought the smell of poopy seemed a lot stronger than usual. I looked over and this boy has handfulls of it and is smearing it all over the wall!!!!! I about went ballistic. Partially because I was mad at him, partially because I was even more mad at my assistant teacher. Who, from where she was sitting, had a good view of the whole room but was too oblivious and too into her conversation with the girl covering my break to notice what was going on. And also because even though she's the one who does morning diapers, left me to clean up the kid who had it caked everywhere and even managed to get some on me. I had to bite my tongue pretty hard on that one. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I have two workshops this week which means I get comp time. And my boss scheduled me tomorrow to only work from 7-10. So hopefully it's an easy breezy day. And if it's not, I can hack three hours. I hope....
