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.
