I went down to the Salvation Army and returned the apron and bell from the bell ringing. On the way back home, I stopped at the preschool I had applied at toward the end of last year to see if they'd picked anyone. I knocked...

Stacey @xstitcher (39045) • Petaluma, California 16 Aug 22

Ugh. I went to my neighbor's apartment, and we went to her chiropractor appointment. While she went in, I read the book I had brought with me. My neighbor's appointment wasn't very long, and when she came out we were still...

Hello, all! It's the day before Friday, and nearly the weekend. It's been a busy week, and I'm thankful that the Lord got me through it. I work at the preschool down the street today and tomorrow, then next week is a broken up...

Stacey @xstitcher (39045) • Petaluma, California 4 Apr 22

Today went well. I covered for different teachers on their breaks (I'll be doing that all week). Walking home, I checked messages on my phone. I got one from a doctor at the vet, and I couldn't really hear what was said except...

My boss has given me Thursdays off, following her figuring out that I was possibly looking for another job. She knows that I do a lot of walking to get to and especially home from work, so I guess she decided to give me a...

Stacey @xstitcher (39045) • Petaluma, California 23 Dec 21

Hello! I got the idea in my head that I was working until two today, and that's what I said when someone asked me, but someone else checked and told me it was one 'o' clock that I was working until. That was okay; I was getting...

The Horse Witnesses Something Upsetting Today

The Horse @TheHorse (238330) • Walnut Creek, California 30 Jun 21

I worked at the flaky preschool this morning. I worked fewer hours than I expected to, because the director was...well...flaky. But she was also yelling at the kids even when they were doing nothing wrong. "Don't break that...

Have fun in bee heaven! The Horse teaches 3- and 4-year-olds about death.

The Horse @TheHorse (238330) • Walnut Creek, California 23 Apr 21

Each day at the preschool is a bit different. Today, on the playground, the kids found a honey bee. It was trying to take of and fly away, but wasn't gaining much altitude. The kid were simultaneously, curious, excited and...

A better day at the preschool today.

The Horse @TheHorse (238330) • Walnut Creek, California 18 Mar 21

The best news from the preschool today is that my 6-year-old friend Rosie, who is behind in her reading skills, loves to be read to. I did a "circle time" today, and read two books that we had read before, one a Maurice Sendak...

How Would You Describe God’s Grace to a Preschooler

Michelle Renee Kidwell @Michellekidwell (29953) • Sonora, California 24 Jan 20

I printed out Sunday’s lesson plan, but what I’d like to know is how you’d describe grace to a four or five year old? Unfortunately most of the lessons are geared towards the older children in class!

The Horse @TheHorse (238330) • Walnut Creek, California 22 Jan 20

I got to enjoy another small project the other day. One of the kid chairs at the preschool had broken, and I got to be the one to glue it back together. I used two different kinds of glue, and the project was successful. An...

I wasn't scheduled to work at the preschool today, but I went over there to turn in my time card and hug all of my 2-year-olds goodbye. I'm heading off to Montana for about 10 days, and wanted to get all of my ducks lined up...

I almost didn't notice that my balcony cherry tomatoes are bearing fruit!

The Horse @TheHorse (238330) • Walnut Creek, California 16 Jul 19

How does your garden grow? It's been hot here, but I've been good about watering my balcony corn, green beans, sunflowers, and cherry tomatoes every day. The problem is that my cherry tomatoes sometimes climb THROUGH my fence,...

Yesterday (Tuesday), I worked in the same classroom where we had made "tall buildings" and "lunch boxes" out of Legos the day before. During free play yesterday, the original tall building girl and the original lunch box boy...

I spend yesterday morning at a birthday party for a child I worked with in Berkeley over a two year period. I hadn't seen her in several months and was glad to receive a big hug when she saw me. She quickly explained that she...

Pouring wine was really fun last night!

The Horse @TheHorse (238330) • Walnut Creek, California 11 May 19

Last night, I volunteered at a fundraiser for the preschool where I teach part-time. I didn't have to play music--I volunteered as a wine pourer. Many of my music friends were there, some playing, some just hanging out and...

Hopefully, my day will be relatively straightforward. I'm going to teach for four hours at my friend's preschool, pick up some meds I ordered at the pharmacy, and then be free for most of the afternoon. The weather feels...
