When One Gets Paid to do What She Loves

I love kids. Ok, elementary aged kids have a tendency to scare me. Leave me alone with them for a while and we will be fine though. I've been with the kids since Friday afternoon. Oy vey, it has been a crazy 48 hours. I'm exhausted. I'm stressed. I'm tired. I hate the bickering and whining. But do I have any regrets about this? No, I am glad to be here. I just have this satisfaction working with kids. Really, infants are my favourite, but does that mean I don't enjoy being with August and Patience. I like these kids. Sure they can be so difficult. But who's to say that which is easy is that which is good? I do not think it to be so. So often the greatest rewards are reaped from the greatest efforts. I think hard work is valuable. Again, value, investments, &tc. Remember, I believe people are our greatest investments? Maybe that is why I enjoy this so; because I feel that I am making some sort of contribution.

We went to church to-day. And to Albertson's, Costco for lunch, the mall, and Brengle Terrace Park. Then home. We had a lot of episodes to-day (oy vey!), but amazingly, they were best behaved in the car (and we spent 2 hours in the car!). For that I am glad; driving is so much more stressful with crazy kids, so I am so glad they were good. A good little blessing to-day :D
