March 11, 2014: Sea day
I really do love my job. I’m not sure why, but today it just really hit me. Nothing really bothered me like it sometimes does, the little frustrating things the kids do sometimes. I felt content. One of the little girls fell down as she was running on the sports deck and I got to her before Michelle and got her to a bench and talking to me and stopped the tears really quickly. I had two of the girls holding my hands as we left the sports deck and all through ice cream time, and though one of them felt bad when one of the older boys said something mean to her during ice cream, she wouldn’t sit up to talk to her friend, but she sat up and talked to me. Somehow everything just went right this morning and afternoon. When I called for their attention, it took a second, but once they were quiet, all the kids were quiet until I’d finished. And none of them really complained about the activities we were doing. We’ve spent today alternating between the kids and tweens schedules, since we’re still keeping them combined for the moment, and none of them have had any trouble with it!
It’s just been an overall satisfying day at work :)
