CHA CHA CHA CHANGES

.....

Well it is that time of year again when everyone looks back in retrospect of the passing year. I have to say this will be one of the first times that I am ready to make changes in my life in the form of a new year resolution. Though I don't want to call it a New Years Resolution. I just want to call it making a lifestyle change, a new me change.

.....

See in the past years I have dated some really uncool guys. That's enough of that, but it brought me to the realizations that I had to be better to myself and not to take shit from any man ever again.

Accomplished.... (or so I am hoping and keeping my fingers crossed)

To be better to myself, to focus on my inner being that had been abused emotionally. I have done that. I like who I am as a person and I like me.

......

Now this year it is going to be a career change. I have my Teaching Certificate in Early Childhood Education. I absolutely LOVE my job, but, it doesn't help with my pocket book. You know they say it is better to have a job you love and not make a lot of money than to have a job where you make loads of money but you loathe what you do. Sometimes I wonder if that is really true. But with the economy and being a single mother I have to do what is best for my daughter and I. At this time it means finding another line of work that will pay me better, and let me tell ya, that probably won't be hard to do. Because let me tell you, teachers do NOT MAKE SHIT! Especially in Early Childhood Education. I will miss all my children at work, I will miss that I now get 2 paid vacations a year and now I have to start over again somewhere else, I will miss the camaraderie of all of my female companions and boss at work. But I have to go and make the almighty dollar. I am now hungry for it and it HAS to be done. I have a vacation day left and I am going to use half of it tomorrow to go and see about a new job.

Wish Me Luck!!
