I got a .85 raise!! :banana :banana :banana

My current boss just bought the school where I work but has been working there with me for the past 7 years. We are pretty good friends. Well she gave everyone a Christmas card with a note on what our increase would be. Yes everyone got a raise!!

Also, we have never been paid for holidays. Now starting the 26th we GET PAID HOLIDAYS!!! :banana :banana Never in the 12 years I have worked there have we ever been paid for holidays. (this is a privately owned Preschool) Oh and we have Never been paid overtime before and NOW If we work over we get paid for it! WOW imagine that!!!!!

We all got our cards at our staff party at a GREAT Mexican restautant. She paid for all our food and drinks. I had a margerita for the first time in 3 years! Oh yeah I felt it!! We had a blast! NO Men and NO Kids!!! What fun, what fun!!

Here are a couple of pictures taken that night.

This one is of me and me closest friends at work and out.

Eve-New boss (dark hair sitting) Kara-sitting next to eve

As you can see Lisa, My boss isn't HOT and SEXY like your boss. Lucky you!

This one is of Me and Judi. We work in the same classroom. with 27 three year olds!! :dead :tired

Good Margeritas!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like a blast!!!! I love them paid Holidays... one thing about my hubbys work place is they only pay you when you work the day before and the day after.. if you take off those days you dont get paid... Hey its FREE money thats how I look at it...

And WOW Terri you look awsome!!!!! Love your smile!!!!

Here are some of the other girls. This side of the table was the drinking side!!

(FUN SIDE)

Here is the last one. These are the Babies of the bunch! they all drank Shirley Temples. There are usually more of us but with the flu going around this is all that could make it. 4 were out sick.

Yikes! A room full of 27 three year olds!! Sounds like you really, really deserve that raise! Congrats!

That's great have a nice Christmass, with your family.

CONGRATULATIONS !!!! That is way to cool !!!!!

My sister babysits my DD and another lady's little girl. My sister is like this woman's personal goffer and it makes me angry that she doesn't get paid for holidays, vacations and when this lady feels like taking off a day out of the blue, she doesn't pay my sister either. The little girl has alot of problems (even hits my sister and the girl is 8) and the mother just doesn't realize just how good she has it w/my sister. Anyway LOL.

I am so glad that you got a raise and holidays paid !!!! Congratulations again

Anne, 27 three year olds, they deserve the drink too. Great pictures, looks like it's time for Kelly to do a new avatar.

Glad you got a raise and had a fun time! What wonderful news for you! Congrats!

Terri, thank you for posting pics of your Christmas party! I love pics, ya'll know that! And right on, girl, for the raise and all the great new benefits. It's like the end of a sappy Christmas movie, which is pretty special.

good deal-Im happy for you

What ever you get paid, you deserve double. I am all for teachers making millions, as I don't have the kind of personality that is required to care for multiple children. I have one and there are days that I swear I need a raise and I am her mother. I firmly believe that my daughter's preschool teacher is a saint as there are 21 in the room and most of the time it is just her. Yikes! Congrats on the raise and I agree you need to update the avatar, you are lookin great!! ( is that a new hairstyle/cut? it looks great) ~Mandy

Without teachers we'd all be dmb asshes, LOL.

Yeppers Mandy, New haircut and style!! After I posted about my 1 year bandiversary and that I wasn't happy,you all (yelled) at me and said I was doing great and needed a new hairstyle and new clothes to make me feel better. SOOOOOOOOOOO I went out and got my hair cut very short and found smaller clothes. I do feel better!!

Thanks everyone for making me feel better about myself. what would I do without you all?

As for ALL the kids? Well Duct tape works GREAT!!! LOL No really if you just love them and have respect for them they will give it back to you ten fold!! I LOVE MY KIDS!!! All 27 of the screaming beautys!!!
