Full Circle

So to start this post off, I think I need to do a little explaining. When I was two years old, my mom started working for a daycare as their cook. She eventually worked her way up to being a teacher and finally a director. I went with her every day through kindergarten and then went for a few summers after that when I decided I didn't want to do it anymore. Eventually when my mom had my little brother, they needed someone to stay with him after the babyroom closed since she had to stay for an hour after that. So they paid me $2.00 an hour to sit with him until it was time to leave. After he turned two, I would go out and clean after school. I did this off and on until I was 16 when my Mom left. She was gone for about 5 years working elsewhere and when she lost her job, they asked her to come back to the daycare (now under new ownership).

Almost a month to the day after moving back, one of the centers needed somebody so she called and asked me if I wanted to do it. Since my parents had paid my most of my bills that month, I felt I couldn't say no, even though it's not my dream job. So I have been working mostly part time at the daycare. It hasn't been too bad since I'm mostly in with the babies, although when all of them start crying at the same time, it can be stressful! It doesn't pay well though so I am still looking for another job.

I've had two interviews since being back and the first one went well but they didn't hire me and I haven't heard back from the second one yet. I've decided to start working on my grad school applications in the mean time. And also to work out again. After I started experiencing knee pain I stopped working out all together but would like to start again and maybe run a 5k on Thanksgiving. That's me for now!
