I Love My Job Because...

I love my job because I still feel like a stay at home mom.

I love my job because I get to wear yoga pants every day!

Today I love my job because all three of my kiddos have been asleep for over 2 hours, I'm sitting on the couch with a glass of diet coke, and browsing the internet.

One of my favorite things is when the DCKs talk positively about me at home, and their parents relay it to me. It's like they really do appreciate me! Sometimes I wonder if kids AND parents are capable of that haha!

Good post!
Most people only talk about things only when something is bothering them. Its normal but sometimes it doesn't go without saying that we do love our jobs!

I have loved my job for 16 years because at first it allowed me to be home when my children were home. I was a stay at home mom for them and then when they started school we needed more income. I was able to stay home summers because I worked at schools during the school year and did child care for school aged children during the summer.

Later I started full time and it has been so incredibly wonderful to have my grandchildren in my daycare. First my granddaughter and now my grandson. I feel so honored to have been able to see them on a daily basis rather than just 'grandma visits.'

I love that my days are flexible. In what other job can you just decide to go outside and enjoy a beautiful day whenever you want to? I love not being chained to a desk (like before I started doing this).

I love my job of being a teacher. It is so gratifying to see a child just loving to learn knowing that I have had a hand in it.

I love my job because mostly it is just plain fun. Sometimes when I'm coloring with them or cooking or just rocking with a sweet baby sleeping in my arms it feels like I'm really not working. It feels like 'this is the stuff life is made of' and I actually get paid for it.

I love my job because I get to be creative. I think up art projects, games, things to do outside, etc. I like being my own boss. For the most part if I want to do something I do it. That is very cool.
