First Day Back To Work

Well, my first day as a sub went off without a hitch. I thought i was going to be subbing for a highschool but when I arrived they showed me to a 2-3 year old daycare room. I almost panicked until they told me I would be helping another woman who worked there. I was pretty relieved that I wasn't on my own. I got an hour for lunch and then sat and read for an hour after that while the kids took naps. None of the kids where horrible. They followed directions as well as a 2-3 yr old can. I can say that by working there It has confirmed how very glad I am that we don't have to put Bethany in day care. All the kids were sick in some way. Some of them stayed longer than I did and kept asking when their parent was coming. If all goes as planned I will be subbing once a week. Hopefully my next experience will be a good one as well.

New Year, New You, Not Happening

You know how everyone sets out to change themselves at the beginning of every year? Well, I've decided that is not what I will be doing this year. Why is it that we can't be satisfied with who we are? Why do we feel pressured to change things we were born with like our body, or personality type? I've decided to be happy with who I am this year. I don't need to try and be someone different. What I need to do is embrace who I am and enjoy being me. I will not be forced into a mold that our society has decided is the "ideal" person. Another thing I won't do is try to change others. I will enjoy individuals for who they really are and encourage them to expose their true selves and not be ashamed about it. This year I will be the real me and the world will just have to deal with it!
