And I'm off

As much as I want to go back to the museums right now, there is a large part of me that doesn't. I wish I could sleep in today, and if my calculations are correct, the next chance won't come until next Friday. Maybe it's time for my ticker. :P

Yesterday was the first day in years that I babysat for someone other than my cousin. I retired from out of the family babysitting, or so I thought. I once feared that I lost whatever niceness to my personality I had left, but that was my over-exhaustion talking. I am still a nice person, sometimes too much so. I told Dawn when I left that I would babysit for her on Friday nights. Ha. Well, her kids aren't bad (5 and 2) and if nothing else, I got my teacher side back. She didn't get home until late because the store was apparently trashed and there are a bunch of morons who work there now, so that was my biggest thing. I don't like not getting enough sleep on Friday night because I need my energy for my weekends.

Today at the museum, I get to tell the VSAs that their work standards are being raised AND that I am the one monitoring them. We'll get their act together before the re-opening. Just wait and see. It is also my first day with the new docent on his own. I'm a bit anxious to see how this works out. Nothing like being the boss of someone 30 years old than you.

I hope my day goes well, I have my birthday dinner to suffer through later.
