I got a boo boo

Yeah, I know, childish. FOR A REASON! I have come to the conclusion that I cannot physically tolerate the strain of working in a day care. It's been a week and my neck has been in a spasm since Tuesday. The back started getting pretty sore Wednesday afternoon and Thursday the left knee, which has always given me problems, was swollen to almost twice its normal size. I'm still waiting for that to get better.

To be frank, I am really ticked off. I like this job. DON'T read I love this job. It is frustrating and there is nothing I despise more than lesson plans. Hate them. Hate them a lot. But it's a good job, the pay is great, the co-workers are amazing - we all get along and everyone is really supportive. I don't even mind the whining from the kids, they are three after all, it's normal for them to whine CONSTANTLY.

So, now I'm AGAIN looking for a new job. I'll keep this one until I find something else, as long as I can at least. I hate looking for employment. Retail always looms overhead, like some horrible curse.

I am waiting to hear back from the Nature Center and a family looking for part time child care. I think in February I'll start training with Kindermusik International and hopefully will be working the children's music circuit by May. I have to call them on Monday.

That's all. I'm off to ice and elevate.
