Finnished for now

I did it! I survived another year at After School Club. It was a fun yet challenging year this year. I was able to be put in as the site Coordinator at Wilson Elementary. It means i was pretty much the boss of the entire program at Wilson. I am grateful to be done, but i will miss some kids there. I was lucky to be at such a good school with only minimal discipline problems to deal with. I had a great staff and we did some fun things this past year. I only wish i could return to Wilson as a site Coordinator next year, but alas i won't be. We'll see what happens. I actually finished out the month of May with minimal staff and all of my hair intact, so that's a plus. I get two weeks off to enjoy my self, and relax.
After the two weeks i go back to training for another year of Summer playground (After School Clubs equivalent durring the summer) we spend half a day at a park managing (glorified babysitting) children, playing games, making crafts, reading, etc. I also get to be in charge of a site this year. It will either be Willow Park or Adams Park. We'll see in a couple of weeks where i get to spend my hot summer. I wouldn't do this job if i didn't love kids. I appreciate the opportunities i have had and am grateful for such a fun job.

A couple more things i have to look forward to this summer. My Brother-in-law Terry is getting married at the end of July to a great girl named Sarah Haney. I am very happy she's becoming a member of the family and excited to welcome her into the family. Cody my youngest Brother-in-law also prepares and leaves for his mission this summer. He will be leaving on August 12th to go to the MTC then to the Czech Prague mission. The family is super excited, there hasn't been a missionary go foreign in Casey's family. To end the summer Rhett and Aria Spear some close friends of ours are going to have their baby girl Janae.

It's going to be a busy yet awesome summer to look forward to!!!

Happy Mom's Day!

I just want to wish my mom a Happy Mom's day! I also wanted to say Happy Mom's day to a wonderful mother-in-law! I hope i can live up to the great example you both have shown as mom's. I am gratefull to have two such wonderful supporting and loving mom's in my life.
I LOVE YOU BOTH!!

Mayhem!

I am a supervisor at an after school program. As of last week i lost over half of my staff due to the fact that USU got out, and they were done. So i get to go through may with four full time leaders, and two that help with homework, so few to deal with over fifty kids. AHHHHH!
What's sad about this ordeal is today i am down two staff so i get to man fifty + kids with three leaders (that includes me), plus two for homework only. You may be reading this thinking o that's not so horrible. We'll think of it this way i used to have seven more people helping on my staff, and we still had some hard times finishing homework in a timely manner, and keeping control of the kids. I just hope my kids behave so i don't have to spend too much time disciplining and controlling while i should be helping the masses.
Don't get me wrong. I love my job. Working with children is something I've always wanted, and love doing, and this job has been awesome. I just feel like this month is going to be Mayhem due to my staff shortage. So I write this in the hops that i will get through this month, with a little patience intact, most of my hair, and not wanting to quite my job.
