BACK TO WORK FUN AGAIN


I've been off work for two weeks. Why? See, first there was this prom night at Papa's company, then there was my birthday, and then I had the sniffles. So I went to the doctor, got a no-work slip for 2 days (yes, just for the sniffles) and that's how I got off work for a whole 2 weeks.

I think I have to love my job. Where else can you...

work 3 nights a week and be paid full time

choose your own work days

be given really big-deal perks for working extra days if they need you to, that people will give up their days off and will even wait in line for their turn

be required (by law) to take breaks

be provided with holiday feasts if you happen to be working, little holiday gifts from your managers, bonus pay on top of

and actually do nothing but take care of uber cute newborn little babies that hardly weigh anything?

I know you might be thinking, 'Who are you kidding? These uber cute newborn little babies that hardly weigh anything have tubes coming in and out of every hole in their body. And sometimes there are not enough holes that the doctor has to make a hole and stick it with another tube. You got to be all stressed out with these babies!'

Right. But what job doesn't have stress? We all have our share. Even people who wash dishes have stress. We just have to deal with it and thank God for all the little favors.

So tonight, I'm going back to work... and have some fun!

it's nice to know that you're having fun. The loneliest person alive is someone who has to do something he doesn't want to.

plus sis... where else can you really witness life triumph over aches and pains, and how spirits and love and faith are stronger than tangible things?

Yes I do Tin. This latest 3-day stretch I had, I took care of 3 feeder/growers and they are the cuuutest! The best part always comes after the feeding, when I get to lay them on my shoulder while I burp them... gosh I could sit there for hours on end, just holding them like that.

It's back-breaking work but they do cuddle like a dream.

yeah, sometimes that can be very evident Mec... twice since I had this job, I've seen babies that doctors thought were gonners, but these babies rallied, and survived, and went home with their parents. you really just can't tell.

I didn't have to reach far and dream big. One can only be as big as one sees oneself. The world will always be bigger still... and God, even more."
