Working for the school is a wonderful thing if you really don't want to work. Summers off, Spring break, Christmas vacation and all those other holidays that they pay me for. People who work year round have no sympathy for me when I say, "Ugh, after 10 weeks I have to go back to work!" As a matter of fact I never say this to some people because I fear for my safety. I honestly do not think I could work year round at this point in my life.
And at this point in my life I do not want to work at all. And I am suppose to do this until I am 65?
Don't get me wrong, there are days I love my job...days that I laugh most of the day. Other days, mmm, not so much. It is never the kids that make me crazy or even my co-workers. It is the parents who do not get it. This is your child that you are suppose to care for, cherish...love.
So every year I dread giving up the free time to sew, float in the pool, stay up until 4:00 a.m. reading a good book. (The Dovekeepers by Alice Hoffman and Let's Pretend Like This Never Happened by Jenny Larson were 2 of the best this summer) And now that Pinterest which could throw me over the edge for time...I just want to do what I want to do.
And I have figured out my dream job and everyone says I need a job with the health department but that is not it. (I would close everyone down)
I want to go through businesses and tell them what they need to clean. I really try to keep my OCD on an even keel but I can't not see what I see. I don't even have to be the person who cleans it but it would be cool to have a killer team that could go in and clean it up to my standards. And here I am to admit my dirty little secret:
When you say, "Don't look at my house, it's a mess" I always lie and say I won't but I do. Come on, I really have this OCD which I am sure is a mental illness so I have to look...I am not really even judging you, I am just thinking it needs cleaned up.
And I gotta tell you, I was excited over "Hoarders" but then I realized that alot of people are living like that and I can never really clean it all. But I try. I wipe the sinks in public bathrooms, I push the paper towels down, I pick up trash as I walk towards a store, and I always have a trash bag when I am walking the dog, not for poo I live outside the city, but for trash.
So....I guess I am heading back to school and employment. Ewww! I just want to sleep in and read 100 more books...oh, and get that cobweb by the t.v.
