I get attached to people.  Family, friends, co-workers, people I supervise.  Last weekend was fairly emotional for me.  One of the people I supervise will be graduating in August and he is job searching.  I've only known him for about six months, but I am really happy with everything he has accomplished and I'm sad he is leaving.  He will do very well.

My babies are growing up.  Kalyn is practically grown up.  Not really, but it feels that way.  I remember when I could cradle her in one arm.  Keali is a talker--always something to say.  Yesterday on the way home she smiled at me and said, "Mommy, I'm so cute!"  And she is.

I just finished cleaning the girls room.  It took 2 hours.  They have too many clothes and toys.  I've been saying that for years though!

I don't have much to say, but I feel bad about not blogging as much as I used to.

I fired one of the women I supervise yesterday.  She screwed up big time and was already on probation so I had to let her go.  I attended the staff meeting she had last night to tell her RAs she would no longer supervise them.  Of course she wasn't completely honest when she told them what happened, so I came off looking like the bad guy.  Oh well.  I sort of knew that would happen so I was prepared, but it annoys me that I am too professional to dog her out to everyone and set the record straight.  I guess in the grand scheme of things though it doesn't matter at all.  Life will go on.

I feel like crud today--I am so tired.  And I know why.  Anyone care to know?

I am a classic 'I.'  As in the Myers Briggs Type Indicator I.  I am a complete introvert--99% actually.  I am completely exhausted when I have to be around a large group of people I don't know very well.  I spent the entire weekend with tons of people I didn't know, having to carry on conversations with all of them.  I was totally out of my comfort zone.  Why then did I choose a profession that requires me to spend time with people?  Because I hate that I am an I.  I want to be more extroverted so I force myself to be.  As a result I get worn out easily and it takes a while to bounce back.  I have been sleeping so much, but I am always tired and exhausted.  I even came home for lunch today at took a nap.  I'm sure Heath wasn't happy that I didn't spend much time with him, but I couldn't keep my eyes open. 

No...I am not pregnant.

I taught my class today and then seriously contemplated going home to sleep for another hour until I had to pick up the girls, but I figured I was being paid to work so I went back to my office and wrapped up some stuff.  I left a bit early due to a headache, but I enjoyed the extra time I got to spend with Kalyn and Keali this evening.
