Comms/Job stuff update
a year ago
My dream is to create art & commissions for the rest of my life. Short version: job too tough for me, may need to quit and refocus on only art comms again.
Long version: Between my job and helping AC's mem with her house (it still needs a lot of work), I have been EXHAUSTED. I only have enough energy to work on commissions during the weekend, which honestly sucks. I miss drawing more often.. Its just not enough time.
I'm trying to get my hours reduced at work because its just too much for me. I'm working at a daycare, and I'm supposed to keep up with a bunch of paperwork while also caring for a room full of 2yos! (17 of them, in fact)
And I'm also expected to put together lesson plans too, at the same time (we aren't supposed to do these at home..). But any time I try to focus on the other stuff I am supposed to be doing, a child gets hurt (trip and fall, or just not being kind to their classmates, etc. THEY'RE TODDLERS, for crying out loud! Literally crying out loud)
2 year olds are not the safest bunch, let me tell you!
Anyway, if nothing happens regarding my hours being reduced, I may just need to quit. I actually turned in my notice already, but then my supervisor convinced me to try going to part time, instead..
With how things are, idk if I will actually get the reduced hours. I've tried talking to her about the other things we are supposed to be doing while also making sure the children are safe, but its just the way things are done there..
I want to be allowed to pay attention to the kids in my care rather than also focusing on daily paperwork & lesson plans. Its so unsafe. :( Some of the toddlers have already gotten hurt bc I was trying to do paperwork..
Anyway thanks for listening to my hopes and worries lol
Hope you are all doing well!

I cannot imagine ever trying to take care of THAT many kids alone. Shouldn't there be two of you?
