My Job Rocks!

It's true! If you would kindly look at the bio to your right, you will notice that I get paid to hold babies. That's right. My Monday and Wednesday mornings are spent in the infant room at the ASI Children's Center on campus. I do admit that getting up at 6:00 am is not what I would call fun. However, as soon as I walk in that room and see all those bright eyed babies smiling up at me, I remember that it is all worth it. And you know what the best part is? They love you unconditionally! Granted, I am no replacement for mom, but I am the next best thing and there is definitly something to be said for that. Now, I know what you are all thinking...spit-up, crying, germs and stinky diapers. I have had my fair share of all of the above. But all it takes is that one sweet, innocent, pint sized person to lift their arms up to me with a smile across their pudgy little face, and I forget about all that other stuff. And if they won't stop crying, spit-up on my clean shirt...for the third time and wiped their boogers all over my shoulder it is especially nice to be able to say, "I don't have to take you home with me tonight!"
