I usually start out my day in prayer, but this morning, I had to take my mind off Mother by praying all the way to work! It was hard to keep from crying, but I am not eligible to take time off for that! Good grief! I am so mad at myself for allowing her to make me feel bad!
@->---
I think God heard my prayer, because when I got to work, I had plenty of work to keep myself busy. First of all, I tried to file the paperwork that I did the previous week. I hope I put everything in the right places! I just put like forms together just like playing matching in kindergarten. LOL...

When I got back from filing, I had received three packets from three of the kids sponsors, so I had to go through the packets to ensure everything was there. Most of the time, there is something missing, but I don't have a phone at work and the girls were busy using their phones all day, so I had to wait until after work to make my phone calls...

Most of my kids are in one group, except for the one I saw today. Turns out he has a very bad cold, so I notified the infirmery & an appointment was made for him to see the doctor tomorrow... Tomorrow, I have staffing in the morning, and I have to eight kids to see in the afternoon, so I have to see what I can do to speed their cases along and report back to them... That means that tomorrow will be another busy day... Yay!

At lunch time, the woman I started this job with came over to my office to eat lunch with me. She has the same background experience as I do except that she has a Master's in Social Work and she is licensed. She is not my supervisor, but she is an administrative supervisor.

I am angry at myself for not being able to do the kind of work I used to do because I don't have a license. That means less money... Looking through the kids packets, I have to evaluate income to ensure the sponsors can care for the kids financially. In this process, I have discovered that people who pack chickens with no degree and no English are making more money than I do... even waitresses make more money than I do, $1,000 in tips alone! OMGGG...

Anywho... the woman said that she missed me a lot and that she felt that we had bonded when we had training together... We had a good talk, sharing thoughts, etc... She says she likes me a lot because I make her laugh. I thought that was odd, because I thought I was serious at training. LOL... BUT... One thing that I never expected to hear her say is that she will always back me up if I need her to. Wow! So happy to have a good friend in high places! LOL
