I love my job.....today.

I also love my job.

When my kids come home from school, I am here for them! I am able to cook home made suppers because I have time at nap. I am able to care for my home in the way I would be unable to if I worked outside the home. I am able to help mould the leaders of tomorrow! I get to listen to their funny stories and anecdotes! I get to listen to whatever music I want during the day. I can go pee without having to log off a computer at a desk. I get to drink my coffee on the porch while the kids play in the yard. I get to make crafts! I get to plan trips that I know the kids will love! There are lots of perks!

But I also hear what Bugaboo is saying. If we claim our income is a perk then that is why we hear statements like, "She's only in it for the money" from the public concerning a daycare provider who EARNS her pay.
