Passed!

This week turned out to be the week Licensers came to inspect my work place. It was a bit unnerving, but I did a few things right that day. I'm not saying I do really bad things like putting babies in rockers to sleep, but there were a few things I did compared to what a usual day for me is like. I had ALL the bottles washed that were used and not cluttered on the sink (happens when I find myself focusing on the babies or if everyone is being so fussy that the bottles being rinsed and put away comes last on the things I need to do). I had made a bottle for one of the children who ended up still sleeping when I thought he was waking up, so I labeled it and put it in the fridge. I then had the feeling I should cover it with a sandwich bag since it didn't have a cap.

Then I saw the lady in the other room. At first I assumed it to be a tour since my boss was with her. But then I saw the lady looking around with a clip board. Immediately I was looking around my room hope so badly that I didn't forget to do something or leave something out that could give us a mark. To my joy, I was already on top of things and so I just made sure to keep doing my usual chatting with the babies and finish changing the diapers.

I waited a few minutes after I was off to find out if we (mostly me) passed the inspection. Sure enough nothing was written up! She even said I did great. I wasn't terribly worried, but being fully in charge of a room, by myself, not knowing exactly what the inspector might be looking for, had me second guessing if I was doing everything correctly. But alas, I am and so are the rest of my co-workers! I suppose I won't need to worry as long as I keep doing what I'm already doing.

Yesterday I got to enjoy playing Murder in the Dark with the youth at church. They earned a party by keeping their Armor of God coin on them at all times. So after enjoying pizza and ice cream, we turned the lights off for a fun and scary hour of fun. I even screamed once or twice.

Other than that, I've been keeping myself busy working on illustrations for my story (so far only chapter 1 and the description page has art work). I also was able to finish chapter 4 despite all the time I've spent on the illustrations.

Steven may have a potential job, but we may have another week before we hear back from the company. Here's hoping for good news. Until then, have a great week!
