employed and loving it...
so for those of you who haven't heard, i have a job now. it's part time as a bread baker for strawberry fields. i have a set schedule, and currently it's mon, wed, fri, & sat 6am-2pm. i get out earlier if the bread is done cooling, sliced, and bagged quick enough. usually it's been between noon and 1 that i finish up. the schedule is perfect for me right now because my daughter is in school until 2:30 which means i only need someone to watch over her from about 5:30-8:30 each morning... and most of that time is her sleeping. since i live with my mother right now, the sleeping part is covered, but i have my dad and gf helping out for the part where someone needs to get her ready and take her to school.
so far i love the job. i definitely like the people i work with, which helps. i like that they pretty much only use organic ingredients in their bread baking. it rocks. i also like that i frequently get free bread and other stuff. yay free food!
i'm not sure how it's going to work out over summer, but i'll just have to have faith that someone will watch my kid... lack of school does make things a bit different, doesn't it.
whatever happened to kids being raised by the whole village? that's what it takes... or at least that's how i feel about it.
anyway, my daughter just found out via an easter card that she's a big sister. her daddy and his whoever had a baby boy. i'm happy because it takes the pressure off of me. my daughter's been bugging me for about five years to give her a baby sibling. now she gets one and i don't have to go through the hassle of raising it. :)
my daughter lost a baby tooth for the second time. each time we go through the discussion of "do you really believe in the tooth fairy, mom?" and my response being something like "do you ever know me to believe in anything that isn't very clearly factual and backed up by evidence?" it must be tough. i don't believe in the tooth fairy, but i also don't want to tell her not to believe in it... i kinda like the idea that kids believe in that stuff.
anyway, i'd better get off the computer. life calls out to me.
