Working with kids is great, and I absolutely love it. But it can be tiring, so so so tiring. Friday was the worst day I've had at work so far. I think.
The 5 and 6 year olds had been sleeping over in the kindergarten. Which meant that two of my coworkers also had done that. So they went home early, almost right after I arrived. And the third one wasn't at work due to a sick child or something. I was there with two other ladies, both of them from another country and not the best at speaking Norwegian. And neither of them has worked that much with the kids at my place called "Rollingene" So I knew the routines and the kids the best. The result was that I was gonna be the one in charge.
The girls that had spent the night there were exhausted and were crying and complaining about everything. "I wanna go inside, I wanna do that, I don't want that to happen, I want to go home, my stomach hurts, I want my mommy!" All day long. And it was hot, I think it was up to 26 or 27 degrees celsius, and it was awful. So everyone started getting sick and tired of the sun, and having 20 kids complain isn't very pleasant. And it didn't help that we were only three at work when usually we are 4.
But I managed, and I'm proud of myself for that. It was an exhausting day, but I learned from it, and it's a good experience to have. I was completely worn out when I got home though. Spent the entire evening in the same chair, only getting up when really necessary.
