Thoughts.com Blogs - spinning and then the small things

Today my head is spinning slightly. When did it become 1:00 pm? This morning at work was utter craziness. Maybe the rain had something to do with it... actually i probably had everything to do with it. When you teach 4 years olds and they are deprieved (sp??) of outside time.. they go a little nuts. And so do you.

These are the days where I wish we had a stock of tequila in the freezer.

These are the days you don't want to show up to work, but alas you do cause everyone else has decided not to. People have much bigger problems then me. I know this.

I just have a laggingcold I can't shake, a headache the size of California, and a grouchy attuitude.

But then the small things happen. A kid climbs into your lap and snuggles with you. A kid comes over and hugs you and tell you that they love you. You can't help but look down at them and smile or even let a giggle escape. Those are the things that make you remember why you show up for work every day...

Despite the shitty pay and long hours and feeling like you aren't appreciated. You are... because the kids you teach love you. Even when you've lost your temper or just need a break. They love you. They think you are the best.

That's all I need to get thru. Thank God for a 4 year old.
