i am still in the honeymoon phase where i am just thrilled to be home with the kids and i get to experience the different ages from (soon to be) newborn to teen.
at this point i have no desire to ever work again!
I love being a nurse..if it wasn't for all the bs paperwork we have to do..I wish sometimes I had been born way back in the day, when nursing was exactly what it was intended to be, and not what it's become
That's a big part of why I decided against nursing school.

To answer the question....right now my favorite part is being able to go on field trips with Daniel...in a couple weeks we're going to Inner Space Caverns.
Most days, though, idk what I like. I keep thinking I want to get a job, but then I kinda like being home....excpet I feel SO LAZY (like right now it's 2pm and I'm still in pajammies---and I have to get daniel from school in a bit) when the kids are in school all day (I do like that alone time). I don't feel like I'm doing my part though, especially now with money so incredibly tight....stupid construction.
I love being here and watching the kiddos grow and learn new things. At this particular time I am loving that I can be lazy and not function much since I am so tired.
Yesterday I told my boss that I wasn't going to work this summer.
For the past 6 years or so, there's been a class for school-aged kids in the summer--just for the kids of the Mothers' Day Out teachers; the kids who are in school during the school year.
Well, we had a meeting a couple months ago that it turns out it was against some code or policy for us to have that class.
So those teachers with school-aged kids would have to find care for them during the summer.
Working at MDO does NOT pay enough to warrant paying a sitter for your older kids so most of the teachers won't be working this summer.
I was very clear that I DID want to work next school-year though. Hopefully they'll need me.
I thought maybe somebody just happened to check the code or some official person checked out our program or something but then I heard that the issue came up because PARENTS of the infants/toddlers/preschoolers in our program complained that it wasn't fair for us to have our kids in the program in the summer when they couldn't.
