If I Have to Go to Work, At Least I Have a Fun Job

* picture shamelessly taken from Mrs. Anderson's blog:)  *

I realized today that I pretty much have the best of both worlds.

Yes, I have to leave my home to work, but I'm still with my kids (for the most part) and I'm there when they need me.  It's pretty awesome!

Is it easy to go to work every day?  No, but if I have to go to work, at least I'm close to my babies. (They'll always be my babies!)  But that's not the only thing I like about my job. 

 Here's ten reasons I'm loving it at AE Elementary:

1)  I get to see Emma and Max off an on throughout my day and they come and help me after school.

2)  I get to go into their classrooms and see how they interact with their teachers and classmates.

3)  I get to work with some really awesome people.

4)  I get to start my days by singing the National Anthem and saying the Pledge of Allegiance.

5)  I get to embarrass my son when he's goofing off in class.

6)  I get random hugs from all kinds of cute kids all day long.

7)  I get to see the excitement when a child finally "gets it" and reads his first book all by himself.

8)  I get to be there to see the excitement when Max and Emma realize they did well on their weekly tests on the computer.

9)  I get to eat lunch in the cafeteria with Emma and her classmates.
 (That's an experience!)

10)  I get to have a cute Kindergarten boy tell me that he likes reading with me because
 I smell like cinnamon rolls!

Yeah, I've got a pretty sweet job!
