Introduced my cousins to public transit via ferry and muni and I spent so much time checking their clipper balance I didn’t check mine I saw I was negative seconds before tapping off and just left like this 😬

Took the kids to a nearby park thinking no one would be there only for there to be a nanny meetup so I went over rules with the kids and they were chill they made me use a high pitched voice to pretend they were talking to a dinosaur

[Pao @InPaoWeTrust]

Took the kids on a walk and the oldest one was going to “walk like a cat” which was actually more like leaping like a frog and I was gonna stop him at first but I let him do whatever he wanted and we had a very peaceful afternoon

Went drop off my keys for the summer and they were having a training session in the library and this man instead of organizing food and coffee for easy access decided to move my shit around to shove everything into a corner on the back counter

Told the kids at my moms childcare that I didn’t want to see them touch each other since they were fighting and if they did I was going to turn the tv off for 5 minutes and they pushed each other so I turned the tv off and the youngest one says “add another 5 minutes”

Why the hell the kids at my mom’s childcare introducing me to shin sonic what happened to watching Bluey??

Fire drill today:
“You guys line up”
“Ok you’re lined up against the grass we need y’all to line up on the grass facing the building”
“Ok so face the building”
“In line please”
“Turn your body and face the building”
“I should hear no talking”
“Go ahead and face the building”

Book fair begins tomorrow and I’m glad I don’t have to deal with a certain parent that would wear floor length gowns that never wanted to pay over $20 and didn’t have her debit card on her but she knew the numbers so I made her set up Apple Pay

Me ever since I got sick

Watching ghost videos at night for entertainment like I didn’t see a full shadow figure walk across my kitchen about a month ago and panic every time I have to use the bathroom in the middle of the night because what if one day it’s just standing there in the dark

[Pao @InPaoWeTrust]

Cousin and I went to deliver art work and he stopped dead in his tracks in the parking lot and pointed out San Francisco in the distance Salesforce Tower continues to haunt me

[Pao @InPaoWeTrust]

Stepdad invited me to go somewhere with them but wouldn’t say where and I was like it’s probably because it involves one of my special interests they’re probably getting a new oven and my mom just sent me a picture of an oven

[Pao @InPaoWeTrust]

Overheard a fifth grader say “that was my first time seeing a furry in real life” referring to the Easter bunny

[Pao @InPaoWeTrust]

I could tell when the Easter bunny started making its rounds this morning because there was a lot of screaming coming from the TK area and I as an adult know it’s staff under there but I went to go open the door and saw it walking my way and my brain went “oh hell no”

[Pao @InPaoWeTrust]

Earthquake woke me up and my phone started going off like crazy thought it was my alarm

[Pao @InPaoWeTrust]

Told the kids we were gonna read the third Harry Potter book I hope they read the first two for their library homework and they were so confused I was like I guess we’re gonna have to stay here until 6pm and after a while one kid was like “wait it’s April fools”

[Pao @InPaoWeTrust]

“Ms Padilla my book has a blurb”
A bloob?
“A blurb!”
Blood?!
“A blurb!!”
A blurb?
“Right here!! A blurb!!!”
Oh a blurb

Felt like this

[Pao @InPaoWeTrust]

Student gave me this as a gift as they walked out of the library idk where the hell they found it

[Pao @InPaoWeTrust]

Told my cousin about the summer my sister and I weren’t sent to Mexico and walked around the house with baseball bats and someone opened the front door so we got ready to swing and it was my aunt and it hit me that we were all together today because she died this morning

[Pao @InPaoWeTrust]

I have a little bear named Mochi on my lanyard to promote a fundraiser and I moved its paw like it was saying goodbye and the kinders took my lanyard to hug the bear as they left the library they’re like “bye I love you”
