So, I think I am realizing that I have worked in an office for far too long. My last two jobs have been doing office work (may not sound like a lot, but I am young and have not had that many jobs yet). Office work is not as crazy as child care. A major adjustment needs to take place. Files never talked back. Excel spreadsheets and publisher items just waited for my every click and command. Drama of the office was somewhat ignorable (particularly as a student employee). Ah...children. They have lungs, strong little lungs. They have nails, teeth, and hair. They can tap into your heart and than play with your emotions. Needless to say...I am still getting the hang of my new job. During the day I hang out with the little one and we play ball and kitchen--both things I can handle pretty well. I had a fondness for plastic food in my day too, so I can understand. He takes a three hour nap in which I get to read, write, eat, and watch TV. And then....the others come home. The house becomes alive with yelling, running, crying, and excitement. This will take some getting used to. By this time of the day my energy is spent and I just want to eat my dinner and escape from the world. I must push onward though. And so I try...and now I am needed downstairs.
