Im Being Played

Work is going much much better, but it was brought to my attention last night that the CNA's are playing me because I'm new.
I guess (I wasn't paying to much attention because I was really focused on doing my job right) last night they only did 2 rounds instead of 4 and didn't wash wheel chairs.
The nurse training me sat and talked with me for quite a while about how to handle these situations and that if I don't they will walk all over me and then Ill get phone calls in the middle of the day (while I'm sleeping) chewing me out because I'm ultimately responsible for the shift and what my CNA's do or rather Don't do.

It pisses me off because its like, I don't have time as a newbie to babysit them when they have been there 16 years and know their job.
When all they are trying to do is see what I will let them get away with.
I can be somewhat of a push over when it comes to the work place and Id rather avoid confrontation.
But I guess I'm gonna have to be a hard ass which is going to be hard to do because everyone I work with is 20+ years older then me and has been there for a decade so they have absolutely no reason to respect me.
ugggh, it sucks, but I'm not really there to make friends.

Chasen is also playing me to see what he can and cant get away with, but at least he's cute when he does it:)
we tried to potty train, but he really doesn't like it and gets upset, and the last thing I want to do is make him scared of it so I'm backing off a little.
He NEVER sits still so doing any sort of structured "lesson" or craft even for 5 min is out of the question.
We do read lots of books and I play with him and try to help him learn his colors but he is pretty adamant that everything is the color "dreen."
I got a set work schedule figured out and will be working every other weekend fri, sat and evey other tue Thursday.
So I work tue, fri, sat, thur.
It works out perfect because now Chasen and I can go to story time every thur. at the library and we signed up for swimming lessons every mon and wed for a few weeks with one of my friends who also has a little boy!
I hope to take some new pics or maybe even video of chasen soon.
Life has been a little upside down around here lately.
