Is it the weekend yet?

The Brit seems to think I've done something 'bad' to my knee. It's got a lovely bruise all the way around it but only hurts in one spot where it's not bruised. With my luck I've fractured it. I just know that I've been pretty selective about what clothing I put on from the waist down. It would seem that even fabric touching that one spot brings pain. *sigh* Stupid stairs! Okay...LOL Stupid ME!

And I'm weary. Tired and weary.
It's been a busy weekend.
We have family events on the unit. Frankly, the agency started it years ago when their focus was 'family based'. They've since moved away scheduling family events--it would seem the kiddos they serve acted out more with them. I'm not sure how they were 'using' the events--we've focused on just making it a time to spend structured in 'play' with your kiddo. We've opted to keep the family events. And yes, we get acting out before and after--sometimes during the event. What do folks expect? We have kiddos with families who have problems like the rest of the world. We also have kiddos with no families, or with families whose rights have been terminated. We work with tough kids who have been through tough circumstances. Don't call my kiddos 'bottom enders'........pisses me off if you do. LOL I'm rather fond of them, thanksverymuch.

It really has been a long weekend, what little I've seen of it. 43 hours in three days.....small wonder I'm tired. But it's a good tired. And the family event went very well--I got to play with several kiddos and their families.
No, I didn't win a cake in the cake-walk. I even cheated and STILL didn't win!

But I DID get my cupcakes made, dangit!
I'd been trying since Friday afternoon to get the darn things made.
Nevermind that I left the batter sitting ON the counter Saturday morning and ran home after a chaotic moment at work passed to bake and frost 'em--after the family event had started! They got done AND they got won!
I'm sure it woulda made more sense to run to the store, huh?

Wow.
It's Sunday already.
This IS the weekend....
*putting head on desk*
I'm tired.....
