So, lately I have very few nice things to say about my job, actually I don't think I've had anything good to say at all. Let's face it when you work in non-profit you are over-worked, under-paid, and under-appreciated, but those are all things you know going into this field (or you figure it out really quickly and get out while the gettin' is good). Needless to say, 6 years later I'm still there despite those drawbacks, and today was one of those days when I remembered why...
(See how hard I worked today?)
This is one of my little 4 year old babies and the Lincoln Log House that we built today. One of my other girls helped also, but she wouldn't let me take her pic! County schools were out today; it was just me and four girls for most of the day, so we did whatever their little hearts desired. Later, we played soccer...yea, guess who did most of the running, kicking, etc? I'll give you a hint, it wasn't the girls. After the city kids got there we played cards and I think they got one...or two over on me. I've never played rummy quite the way they played it and I've never even heard of a card game called "garbage" until today. Hmmm...anyway, the moral of the story is I left the "work" on my desk and enjoyed my job for the first time in a long time.

A day like that makes you think sometimes! Would be nice if you could enjoy more days like that, which make the greatest impact on the children you work so hard for.
