jobs and life

I havnt blogged for a while but been twittering alot. I have finally found the perfect part time job after working at a grocery store restocking shelves and then a retail job (the WORST). I quit the grocery job because I had to travel 60 miles twice a week to service two of my three stores... stupid with gas prices and no compensation...thought the retail job would be brainless and fun I was sooooo wrong! Nights, weekends, no customers for HOURS, all I could think was, I could be doing something right now!!! I could be painting, I could be drawing, I could be designing jewelry. I tryed to take stuff to the store to work on, but its not my studio... I couldnt focus, the lighting wasnt right, the music was bugging me...so finally I again started looking for the prefect part time job. Iwas at my daughters reading tutor and there was a sign on the door 'teachers needed'. Iasked my daughters teacher, if I needed a credential, any special college degree, and she said no, you just need to have the creativity and patience to work with kids who are dyslexic, adhd, autistic, etc. I let it go, for about a week.... then I turned in my resume. I got a call the next day for an interview and got hired on the spot! I am now a fully trained reading tutor for kids with learning challenges! I love it!!!! 5 hours a day 5 days a week with 8 fantastic children! I am so happy and grateful for this job and fot the ability to help these kids learn.
