Ahhhhh!!!
Yup. So this is currently the situation at work: Robert is discovering the emotion of anger at the ripe old age of 2. It seems there is something on his mind and he doesn't know how to tell me and so he gets very frustrated/angry. This results in throwing, hitting, kicking, yelling and crying which ultimately leads to a time out, or some solitary confinement with the help of two babygates stacked at his bedroom door. (Oh yes, he's discovered how to break out when I use just one.) I guess I'm blogging this because I need to air the dirty laundry. It's been very challenging for me and I'm exhausted. I need to try and remember why it's worth going in..
TOP 10 Reasons I LOVE This Job:
10. I get to bake
9. The grocery bag I seal the dirty diapers in makes me chuckle (see picture)
8. Going to the park and seeing all the imaginative ways the kids play
7. Singing songs in the car with them
6. Their dog Harry is sooo sweet
5. They know how to scheme and its funny to watch them sneak around and try to break rules
4. Watching the kids grow (I've had the honour of being there for many of their 'firsts')
3. When they get hurt, they run to find me because my magical kisses make ALL of the pain go away instantly
2. The look of wonder on their faces when something great is happening
1. How they love everything and everyone without reserve
I really struggle because when I'm not at work because I don't usually look forward to going. However once I get there, there's no place I'd rather be. They're great kids and I enjoy them so much in a million ways, even though sometimes they're nut-jobs and I wish I was dead.

working with kids can be really hard work, but so rewarding. I feel your pain.there are bad days, there are good days. Sometimes the only thing that keeps me sane is the people i work with, so i really feel for you that you have no adult conversation during the day (im guessing), you do a good job pickle! Keep Smilin!
