So those of you that don't know, I got a part time job with the YMCA. This job requires me to go to a school and babysit from about 3:15 to roughly 6:00. It's a good thing I have professional babysitting experience to prepare me for this new experience in my life. Oh I forgot to mention it's with kids ranging from Kindergarten to 5th grade...there is a reason I was a junior high teacher!! If I make it past carbon dating, and have kids of my own I'm already saying prayers for their teachers. I am worn out after just 3 hours and just like teaching the money isn't good, but at least it's a job...for now. :) At this school it is me and another girl, who wants to be an elementary music teacher...bless her heart! Everyday she sings and I want to laugh because that's what I do when people sing...yes I know it's rude, but I can't help it I have tourette's like outbursts. We are in charge of babysitting 11 kids everyday. I'm learning patience...a LOT of patience...there is crying because kids don't want to play with other kids, crying because of cheating, crying because a sister is beating up a brother, and I really try to not cry around the kids but it has been SUPER tough. I have also played Battleship and Yahtzee more in the past two weeks than in my previous 31 years!! I have nightmares that my battleship has been suck by giant dice...I'm too young to live my life like this!!
Today was the third day one of the kids has been there. We were waiting in line to go to the restroom and this little kindergarten boy turns and whispers to a 3rd grade boy..."she's scary!" My first thought was YESSSS!!! I still got the look!! I said I was just practicing for Halloween. But as I ponder his statement, I really hope that when everyone looks at me their first thought isn't "she's scary!" I think I might need an upgrade!!
Peace out!
