Chaos

Tomorrow at work it is going to be very chaotic!! Half my class (3 year olds) will be moving onto the older Preschool class so that means half of my class is going to be Toddlers (1.5 year old). Our kids that are moving on are pretty self-sufficient and are potty trained, the new much smaller kids can barely walk/talk and are all in diapers! Going from kids that can do pretty much everything for themselves to a class that can't really do anything for themselves at this present time is going to be hard to get use to.

The one good thing about going from a Preschool room to a Toddler room is that the teacher to child ratio changes and instead of just 2 teachers in the room we will now have 3!!! It's going to take the new staff a bit to get use to things, but that's to be expected when starting a new job with new co-workers.

In other news Liam and I spent 4 hours in the ER room early this morning. Around 11:30 last night Liam said that his heart started beating funny like it was straining to work. It lasted just a few seconds and he felt fine otherwise. We decided we would rather be safe than sorry and headed off to the ER. They hooked him up to a machine to check his heart rate and all seemed fine. We ended up leaving the ER before a Doctor actually saw Liam because we had waited 4 hours and hadn't even been brought into a room. We knew others who had been there before us were still waiting on a Doctor to see them. Supposedly there was just 1 Doctor working 3 different areas!

Any who, when we got up late this afternoon we called Liam's mom who use to be a nurse and she reassured us that it sounded like palpitations and that his mom and sister both have them. So for now we are just going to keep an eye on his heart beats and if it happens again or he gets other symptoms we will definitely be seeing a Doctor and having more testing done.

Due to being up super late we haven't done much today other than laundry and going out to dinner. I had wanted to try out a new exercise DVD I bought yesterday but I'm feeling really exhausted. I picked up a new Leslie Sansome video that is called "Walk Away Your Waistline". The DVD comes with a rubber band that goes around your waist and it has other bands coming off it that you hold onto with your hands and do exercise moves holding it. Once I actually get to use the DVD I will post more.

Okay well I'm off to relax! I hope all the Canadians out there have had an amazing Canada Day weekend and that all the Americans out there have had a great July 4th weekend :)

Take Care,
Crystal

You'll have to tell me how the DVD goes. ER = not cool at all and bummer for a holiday weekend. Hope all is better and well!

I get palpitations, they come and go when they please. They're annoying but not harmful. Hope your day tomorrow isn't too stressful!
