Paint, Paint Everywhere...

And not a drop of it on paper. Today was an interesting day at work. 3 kids wanted to paint acorns. So one of our teachers-(interestingly enough the one who won't do anything BUT art activities with the kids)-took them outside with some paint and the acorns. All was going well outside and there were 2 teachers out there so I went inside to clean up snack. I come back out and the 3 kids are COVERED in paint. It was in their hair, eyelashes, faces, ears, and arms. Their clothes were spotted with paint as well-(they had smocks on, thank heavens). I kind of wondered what happened since the teacher who brought them out there was sitting right next to them. I soon found out what happened...I watched as the teacher took a paintbrush, dipped it in paint, and put a nice big smear across on of the kids cheeks. Then they began throwing the painted acorns at each other--I expected the teacher to stop them but instead, she joined in. So I walked over there and was like "let's get you guys cleaned up" since it was almost time for pick up. It took me over an hour to clean the 3 kids and all of the painting stuff up. And this teacher didn't help with ANY of it. That's when I got PO'd. If you're gonna make the mess, be responsible enough to clean it up. To top it all off, I had a parent get upset at me about it all. Which I can understand, the kids hair was basically dyed blue from the paint and his clothes were pretty much in ruins.

In the rest of my life, my medical problems are getting worse. I couldn't even keep down yogurt today. I basically had a meltdown last night--it was a combination of things that set it off, but it was mostly all of the tests-(some of them are quite painful)-stress from being sick, and tiredness from not eating enough. Test results aren't back from the tests I had last week. They should come in some time this week--I'm crossing my fingers that something shows up because I'm just about done with it all. Mentally I'm just not there, emotionally I'm a wreck, and physically I look horrible. But, I guess we'll just have to wait and see..that's the only thing I can do.
