Back into the working world

So, I have recently started a job as a preschool teacher. Before I started this gig, I wasnt sure if I would enjoy it or not. So far though, I have found it surprisingly fun. Working with a group four year olds is never boring. The off the wall comments that I hear daily are enough to keep me laughing. For instance, a long haired delivery boy who looked like he would be at home in any death metal concert, with piercings all over, was asked if he was a boy or a girl. Another aspect of my job that I enjoy is that it is teaching me true patience and forgiveness. You cannot stay mad at a four year old, regardless if they just flooded the toilet trying to see if batman can swim. Or if they say they have to pee the second you are done zipping up their elaborate and completely over the top snow suit that took twenty minutes to shove them into, regardless of the fact that they swore they didn't have to go before you started the whole debacle....

Okay so my job isn't perfect . I cant get a day off to save my life, and I think just about anyone makes more money than I do. BUT as I continually tell my kids, "It is what it is. You get what you get and you don't throw a fit.
