Someone has to do it.

This morning as I was walking by a school full of small children on a chaotic playground, i watched as there were several adult women sporatically situated around the grounds. You could tell that they were routinely watching all the children in their vicinity, to make sure they were safe, and whatever else.

First, i thought to myself, those poor women. But within a few seconds, I was a little less negative, and thought, what great women they are. You see, I tend to complain when I have to deal with bratty and extremely obnoxious kids while I'm at work. It doesn't happen every day, and when it does, it only happens for a few hours, at the most. I can tolerate children, but I dont take great joy in being around them. I have the freedom of doing different things in my work day, so i can actually "take a break," if you will, when I've just about had it. But these women? They are probably lucky if they have a break from them, for just their short lunch breaks. I've always had appreciation for everyone and anyone who is in the field of education and especially those who have to deal with the little ones, whether it is in school, day care, etc. But today, that appreciation was even more increased.

The cure.

Having a bad morning? I've got just the cure for you.

Step 1. If you are able to download apps, go right now and download Smacktalk. (don't have anything where you can download apps? well then, proceed to step 2, which will be shared shortly). Have fun and take out your anger/stress with these cute little furry animals by making them say ridiculous things. I personally suggest laughing and making weird sounds for an optimal experience.

Step 2. Eat something really unhealthy.

Step 3. Take a nap.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go take care of Step 2 and 3.

Have a great day!
