I hope everyone had a great weekend!!! This was my work weekend and I think I was definetly cursed! Saturday I slipped and fell in a spot that had just been spot mopped...funny thing is (I guess) that when I fell I was carrying a pouch of supplies, cup of opened applesauce and my gigantic pill crusher and fell holding them in the same postion, how's that for talent! Although I am ok I am definetly sore...my knee is bruised but I'll live. Throughout the day however I had one of the nursing assistants graze me me with a food cart, another nursing assistant ran over the back of my heel with a shower chair, everyone was nit picking at me for stupid things...I was so ready to get out of work that day! Yesterday was hardly any better, right out of the gate as I got to work one of my residents was very aggitated, while I was trying to talk her down I got hit, kicked, pinched,clawed, grabbed, you name it..I have some pretty bruises on my arms for battle wounds, lol. Definetly a crazy weekend for sure!
Add to all of this stress of computer crashing and acting up...its bad enough that I know that I am computer dependent and addicted but add to it that hubby needs the computer for school--AGGGHHHH!!!! Crossing my fingers that today is a better day!
Nothing spectacular on the agenda today. Hoping Maddie's attitude lightens up a little today, she's been terribly mouthy the last 2 days and today she has to be mostly good vs bad in order for her to earn a movie at bedtime. Any parenting tips out there? lol

I hope today goes better for you. {{{HUGS}}}
As for Maddie just stick your your guns. :)
I hope your week is better.
Oh man! Sounds like you've got a bad case of the kick and cut curse. Hang in there, it always passes but it's no fun on the way through it.
If my boys are ever mouthy - which is very rare - I take their mouth away. They can sit with their hand over their mouth (which is uncomfortable, your arm gets tired) and spend a few minutes remembering that talking is a privilege. In our house we are also very big on the whole, "if you're not going to be nice, I'm not going to play with you." and it's very effective. I know my boys would prefer to be pleasant and play a board game with me than be discourteous and lose that opportunity.
