A Few Random Things

To start out, I love my new job.
I notice so many things about kids.
How they act.
Behave.
Tell tall tales... constantly.
And pick their noses...constantly
I never thought I was a patient person, but I have proven myself wrong.
One of my students calls me Mrs. Crazy (or Mrs. Cray Cray - and it's just between us).
She thinks I'm so funny, silly and, well, crazy.
Which I like, because she still respects me, we have fun with her school work and we still follow all the rules.
Today I didn't feel the best and when taking her to the bus she looks at me and says,
"I know you said you don't feel good today, but I hope Mrs. Crazy is back on Monday, ok?"
And she left me with a big smile.
I'm making an impact.


I'm teaching Mary about the important things in life.
Need To Breathe, my favorite band.
We listen to it in the car and she likes most of the songs, sings a long to a lot of them.
It makes me happy.
We have started watching the first Harry Potter movie - and she is actually into it!
Loves all the magic, the mystery, the what if's...
I love that she likes it.
There are actually a lot of great life lessons in Harry Potter... besides just learning how to ride a broom and play quidditch.

She watched Captain America 2 and The Avengers... she thought Avengers was a little boring.
I am slowly, but surely converting her to a nerd.
And I'm SOOOO proud.

Best. Jobs. Ever

I have the best jobs ever.
I work part time at a salon and spa as a receptionist.
I get to greet people when they come in, answer phones, schedule appointments and clean.
And. I. Love. It.
I work with GREAT women.
Everyone there is a friend.
The owner and manager have been amazing.
They were truly SAINTS when I needed them most during a hard time.
I don't think they know/understand how much that stuck in my mind.
The ladies are funny, outgoing, honest and most of all... help me with my hair. :)
I do not have stress, but I have responsibility, it's PERFECT.

My second part time job, I just started at a doggie day care, lodging and training center.
It. Is. Awesome.
I get to greet people and their dogs, make them feel welcome and comfortable leaving their dogs with us.
I try to always have a sunny disposition... how can I not?
I get to see all kinds of dogs - all day long!
I'm just getting to know the people there, but we've had a few laughs and I think they know I'm silly, but responsible.... I hope they know that.
We were speaking with random accents today for no reason.... :)
Today we had a 3 month old Shih Tzu sit on our work desk all day and we got to pet her, and cuddle her and it was PERFECT.

I love my two jobs.
I love the area of customer service I have found myself in.
Greet, smile, happy, loving, caring and honest... it's working well for me.
LOVE IT.

Jobs

I'm currently working two jobs.
In November I quit my corporate job because I was miserable.
I got in a position that wasn't a great fit for me, and because you have to stay in positions 6 months to a year before you can transfer out, I was stuck.
I never minded my corporate jobs.
In fact, I always liked my positions, until the last one.
I couldn't get out of bed to go to work.
My husband literally had to pull me out of bed a couple of times.
So after going over finances, thinking and (him) praying on it.
He told me to quit.
So I did.

I started working part time at my friends salon and spa as a receptionist.
I LOVE IT.
I work with amazing women who are passionate about their careers and fun to be around.
However, I wasn't able to get enough day time hours there, and I can't work all weekday nights, because I want to see my little family.
So I put a call out and got another part time job at a local doggie day care as the receptionist there!
I'm super excited to start that position tomorrow.
Some people think I'm crazy that I rather work 2 part time jobs.
But I rather work 2 part time jobs doing things I like and interacting with people and pets then work one full time job that I hate.
I'm just lucky my husband let me take this leap, as not everyone can afford it.
Not everyone has that supportive of a husband.
Believe me, I know how lucky I am.
