Perspective and my soapbox.

I know two posts in less than two months, I am on a roll! Okay not really great, but improvement from last time... So I went to "tool day" at school for the girls and I explained to 5 different classes of kids what I do and they were most excited that I get unlimited soda pop and a treat cart every day at 2:00 at my work. The whole concept of a mortgage/loan and anything to do with really went way over their cute little heads. It was kind of fun for me and brought some good perspective on my job that I have been lacking the last little while. I have been struggling a bit lately with why I do what I do and having a bit of a pity party, but having to explain it on a level that they understood made me realize that helping people get mortgages is a pretty important job and I will say this at one point I contemplated being a teacher and after today I realize it was really a good thing I didn't go that direction. I am very impressed with anyone who can handle 25-30 kids asking them a million questions and expecting 100% attention all the time. I struggle with the 4 I have all the time and I Love them! So to all teachers out there you are wonderful for doing what you do and for those of us that can't do that job thank you for doing it for us!!

Also in a side note we are heading into softball season and Chris is coaching Abbi and Whitney and it is kind of fun to have them play this year and know what they are doing! They are very cute! Sammie turns 6 next week, I can't believe my little girl is already that old! Justice is still a monster and spoiled as all get out, but that's not anything new. Love the kids!

Wow! You are on a roll! 2 posts in one month is a record I think... :-) I would definitely agree that what you do is important. You help people put their dreams into a reality! I'm glad you like (and are good) at what you do. I don't know that when the kids are grown that I'll go back to PE.

Seriously, so excited for your visit! Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!
