For the first time in my life, I can say with all honesty that I actually love my job. It’s definitely the toughest – I wake up earlier, work longer hours, get yelled at indiscriminately, clean up crap all day and do a lot more for way less pay but I get to do this.
I get to take the kids to the beach in the middle of the afternoon and call it education. I get to dust off the sand from in between her toes and build sand slums (they look nothing like castles). I get to see the look on their faces that can best be described as utter bliss.
I whinge a little about how insane it gets from time to time but really, I’m thankful every single day that I get to do this.
Speaking of, my friend Theresa is working on this Great Woman Pledge to raise funds for the Breast Cancer Foundation. The best part is that you can help without even having to donate a cent, all you need to do is make a pledge and write why you think it’s great to be a woman. If you can’t think of any, you can steal some suggestions from her page or drop me a mail, I’d be happy to give you some ideas.
I’ve made my pledge, go make yours.
