Half Week Rewind

This week I went back to work after having a whole week off and I must admit I started to regret my week of vacation. I came back to a huge mess at work and almost got in some serious trouble for not responding to my manager even though I was off. My manager did come back and apologize to me and admitted she forgot I was off work, but I still wasn't too very happy lol. Luckily we are on the downhill side and the weekend will be here soon!
Maddy's vocabulary has just taken off this week and it just came out of no where. I was holding her and she looked at the coffee table and pointed to a hat and said, "Pops.....hat." My mouth fell open and I got so excited and told her she did a good job, "yay for Maddy." I don't think she knew what to think about my reaction, but she did end up laughing. She says a lot of things about Pops..."Pops truck" "Pops drink" "Pops bite bite." I worked with her yesterday on the way home to get her to start saying "Mommy's car," but that seems to be harder for her to say.
On top of work being horrible, I also found out Monday that I missed my attendance in school the week I was off on vacation. I seriously just wanted to cry but what good would that do? I'm still a little confused as to what this means exactly. If I miss either one or two more times, then I will automatically be dropped and I think I will have to pay to retake. If my grade goes down a letter then I will be doing good to pass with a C and that scares me because I've worked so hard in school and if I have to pay out of pocket then I have to drop out and then I have to start paying loans back, which has lead me to my next decision. I am trying to find a part time daycare job. The whole reason I started school again was to get started in a daycare career anyways. Since school may not be around much longer I needed a back up plan. The only way I can work in an assistant director's job is if I have experience in the classroom. Right now my only option is my daughter's daycare, but I really don't think they'd hire me because I don't think they like me too much after there were some problems that came up in how they handled Maddy. I could always turn in an application and see if they would let me work there, but I don't want to deal with the rejection lol.
I purchased season six of The Office at Target last week because it was on sale for $14.99. They are normally around $35 so I was sold. I took the last one they had and I was so thankful they still had at least one. I am sad that Steve Carell is no longer on the show, but I understand his decision and think he did a fantastic job while on the show. This show helps me cope with my job but it also makes me wish Michael Scott was my boss lol.
