Yay for things all working out!!!

Yay! Yayyayyayyay! So things seem to finally be coming into order for me. Well, they seem to be coming into order for me since I moved up to Greeley. For a while there I had almost lost hope for finding a job, seeing as how I was doing just about everything I possibly could and calling every place that even hinted that they were hiring, without any form of luck at all. Finally, while looking on the UNC website, I found a section of "for hires" that all revolved around babysitting/nannying positions. I called EVERYONE on that list and had ONE person pick up. I got an interview and then I got a callback that night. SOOOOOO I am currently working at a preschool taught at Jane Martin's home. The kids are all adorable. One little 4 years old boy, Braydon, tugs on my heartstrings especially. He's a smart, sweet, adorable little boy who reminds me in every way, shape and form of Abe. (Yes mother, he even has Abe's (small) attitude problem.) We had a few issues at first since he has a slight problem listening to the people in charge, but after a little while (and a few time-outs), Braydon and I finally met in the middle. Another little bundle of joy is Braydon's twin sister, Bryce. She's a teachers pet to every extent of the word. But not in the annoying, ridiculous kind of way. She loves to help. She loves to let the new kids (and my co-worker Jordan and I) know what they are usually doing at certain times and what they need to get done before they leave, etc. She has such a sweet heart and will be a joy to take care of, I know. All of the little boys and girls have such an amazing outlook on things. The oldest boy of the group, Liam (6), found a grasshopper on the playground the other day and immediately picked it up. Soon after, he started chasing the girls around with it so I asked him to put it down but to see that a person his age had no fears whatsoever and did everything because he wanted to was interesting. It made me start thinking about how fears develop and how people overcome those fears. Everyone's been told that the only way to overcome a fear is to face it, but what if the fact is that you're not really afraid of whatever it is. I'm not scared of grasshoppers but I don't like to touch them either. Some people may not necessarily be scared of getting on a roller coasters or of riding a horse but that doesn't mean that they actually want to either.......Something interesting to think about.......
Back to my original point though, I have another job as well. I am working at a seasonal corn maze/haunted house this September-October. Fritzlers Corn Maze. From what I understand, it's a pretty decent sized corn maze with a pretty decent haunted house as well. Orientation was last Thursday at 6 and we (we being Erin, Josh and I) start training this tuesday at 6. It's only a little over minimum wage but that, along with the preschool job will be plenty to get me through for a while. I"m very grateful that I finally found something. It isn't much but it IS something and it'll work out just fine for now. :)
