... since I've said this:
"I love my job."
So I thought I'd document it. :)
Hehehe, it's true. I really do love my new job. I get to spend two hours a day, two days a week, with a great group of 5 kids, having fun and doing activities to help them grow in reading, math and writing. I get to show them I care about them, learn about their lives, and be a role-model to them. I get to teach them how to learn, how to have good character and how to be responsible. I work for people that value me (they sent me a thank you card for attending a (required, paid) staff training (where they fed us a complete meal, I mean, come on!). I only have to spend about an hour or two a month grading papers/doing progress reports. AND I get paid for it. I get paid in a way that much more represents my worth than what I was getting paid/being made to do working in public schools. It's a win-win situation. And I haven't even started the Saturdays portion of the job yet!
Thank you Jesus for this new season, where I can stay home with my little one and watch him grow every day, and still bring in a little income for our family, and for this season where I can finally say, I. Love. My. Job.
I love my job too, of over 20 years, even if sometimes I don't feel I get paid what it's worth; it's worth being able to set my own hours most of the time. And the days I work in the second office, I get my social needs met so it's a win-win situation as well. (Otherwise, I'd stick my head through a window here!)
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the new job and kisses to Owen.
