Newborns and up....

Well now.  I certainly never intended to work with kids younger than the age of say... 5.  I'm absolutely not certified to do so.  But for the summer, 2-4 days a week, I'm helping my friend run a daycare out of her home.  It's a very new experience, not having children of my own (yet) and only really ever taking care of friends' kids, who are very well behaved.... and some of the little terrorists bundles of joy are a VERY new experience for me.  Like kids that never stop crying. And ten kids under the age of 4.  My oh my... This summer may give me gray hair. On the crafting front, I'm working on crocheting an owl hat.  And regarding the job hunt... all of the teaching positions have been filled in the districts that I'm looking at. So far.  There are always aide positions, and teachers who decide during the summer that they're leaving. But as of now... I remain unemployed, doing odd jobs here and there to make ends meet. 

In other news, Mr. IT got a new car! It's a Nissan Rogue, and we LOVE it.  Better than the Jeep, in that it's not a soft top and LOUD, and also, it gets roughly two times better gas mileage than we got... Oh man! And during my reign of unemployment, I shall stick with my old rusty trusty Honda.  Honda and I got to 215 thousand miles last week, and she's still goin strong!
