Ok, I know that I haven't posted in a few weeks, sorry about that. I have recently gone back to work, YAY! I can not tell you how much I have missed my babies. Two months off for the summer nearly killed me. I know what you are thinking, I would kill for that time off. Sadly, I thought the same until I received it. I was doing good at first, but as the time went by, I started going a bit crazy. There is only so many times you can clean your home, reorganize things, and catch up on some reading. I was going bonkers.. LOL
Here is a lil bit of background info for those confused. I was a stay at home wife for most of my adult life. I married two of the most countrified men I could ever meet. Yes, I am on my second marriage, but back to the real reason for this post..lol They wanted their wife to stay at home and tend to things like good southern girls do. And yes, I was fine with that for a while, but then I would get depressed or aggravated, you get the picture. So after Hurricane Katrina hit, and we were displaced, and forced to move to Missouri, I decided to go back to school. At first my husband wasn't to happy about my choice, but it had to be done. I would not continue to be one of those silly country girls who did as told. So I majored in Criminal Justice, since I had a knowledge of MS law and criminal education, I thought this would be a great choice. Boy was I ever wrong! The instructors were as dry as year old bread. I wasn't inspired, and was bored worse than being at home. I knew that I had to keep going or I would put myself back into the rut I just got myself out of. So with that being said, I decided to change majors. This time I went into Child Development. I have always wanted to work with children. I was going to work in Family Court, but you see where that went.lol So, I found a major that I love. I worked very hard and made it to the President's list twice, and graduated with honors.. I am now working on my BA in the same field. I am also teaching at a private Christian preschool, and I have to say that I am in love with my job, and the children that I have the opportunity to teach. You might be thinking that I am crazy, I spend 9 hours a day with 13 3 year old, but I LOVE it! The feeling I get when I see them achieve a task is the best feeling in the world.
I have been told all of my life that I was blessed with a gift. I react best with children, and I have a gift for teaching them. I always laughed at my family when they told me that. They would say that I should go into education, instead of law, but I was not wanting to go into education. Sorry that I waited so long to do what everyone knew I was born to do.
So with that, you can understand why I was going bonkers not working. I don't have any children of my own yet, so I fill the void with my "babies" at work.
I am happiest when I am at work, or at school. I guess I am just not meant to be a homebody, not that there is anything wrong with that, it just isn't for me.
Thanks for taking time to read this. I will try to post more regularly, but please understand that my job and education must come first.. :)
Loves & Huggs :)
