glad I LOVE my job

This week was kind of challenging, but not overwhelming. I was and am still fighting being sick. Monday I went home early not feeling well, and I sent a coworker home early. Tuesday and Wednesday I was everywhere working in all different rooms from infants to 4 year olds. Not bad, but I don't like the whole lets go to work and put me where ever, but we are so short staffed that it has to be done. I don't complain I just do what I'm told, and I deal with it. I am truly there because I LOVE the children, and i LOVE working with them. I am not there because I want new adult 'friends' and I'm not there to be friends with them. I am there to take care of these beautiful young lives, and help enrich their lives in whatever way I can. Wheter it be I am there for a hug, to listen, to help them understand to count, a shape, help them be creative. Whatever it is I am there for THEM, and that's why I stay. I truly love my job. Thursday and Friday I was in infants all day long, and again I'm there for the babies. I LOVE working with them, and I am TRULY BLESSED to have the job I do, and to be able to say how much i love it, and be honest about it. I may not always like the people I work with, but as a wise person once said to me. You don't have to bring them home for dinner just make it through the day. Saturday I started feeling like I am getting a cold. I went from the stomach nausea feeling to a scratchy throat, but I managed to make it through the day. Had a nice afternoon with Rachel and Trisha, and in the evening we went to Ethan's mothers home, and had a real home made German meal. She's German, and so is Rachel, and so it was like let's celebrate how German we are and Hitler's birthday. It was fun and I had new foods I've never had before. I had a sour roast, spritzal, roll, German Potato Salad, and red Cabbage, and for desert it was German cookies, Applebutter cake, and German Cake. It all was good. The sour roast was a pot roast with this sauce (I guess they call gravy sauce) it was good, the spritzal is a type of noodle that kind of tasted like a potato. the Potato Salad wasn't like our potato salad it was bacon bits, potato and some kind of like dressing, Red Cabbage was basically just that. Then we had pimpernickel and rye bread, and the different cookies were good we had what was like their version of a kitkat, and the cakes were both yummy. I learned they use alot of like vinegar type things which is fine so things in the food were more 'sour', but I was really impressed and it was good. After that we hung out talked and just enjoyed each others company before heading home. Today is Sunday and I'm trying to get myself up and going I am going to try some sushi's and see 39 Steps. Until next week keep smiling ;)
