Happy

Following a fantastic weekend with my friend family (see above photo), I figured I would be less than thrilled to return to work on Monday. This was worsened by the fact that I didn't get enough sleep once last week, slept on a plane Thursday night, and got even less sleep all weekend. Fortunately I gained 3 hours from the flight back home, and was asleep by 9 o'clock last night.

This morning I woke up at 5:30 feeling quite refreshed. Then, on my way out the driveway, I realized that not only was I not dreading my hour drive each direction and work day, I was actually looking forward to it! This is an exciting feeling because I used to think a good job was one you could tolerate and liked the people you work with. Now I realize it is, in fact, possible to have a job you actually enjoy. Yay! (It doesn't hurt that it's the 2nd highest paying job I have ever had, and also possibly the least stressful.) I have only been working at this assignment for 6 shifts, but each day seems to get better instead worse.

On a side note, one of the kids in the class is leaving for a month to Samoa. When I was leaving today he kept grabbing my hand and telling me not to leave. It was really cute and sweet, and even better because he usually has the attention span of a 3 year old (totally kidding, he is 3), but he kept at it for a few minutes. I heart him!

PS I will post my pictures on Facebook by the end of the weekend. :-D So many silly ones!
