Going back to work after this break, which apparently used my vacation time, to get paid...So not okay with that. I was planning to use my vacation time in June, thanks, has reminded both of how much I love my kids and that I go to work for the kids, not the grown-ups. But I only get a week of vacation a year, and you're going to use most of that for a week I didn't want off, and think should be holiday pay, instead of letting me use it for that week off I requested for June? Uggh. Also, I want to find six or seven more three-year-olds in need of preschool/daycare so that I can keep my kids longer. Cause I really like the ones I have now, and if enough three-year-olds enroll, they won't be able to take them away from me, I mean move them up, in June, because there won't be room on the purple side until the four-year-olds go to kindergarten.

If I didn't love my kids, I think I would have up and quit by now, given that I have gotten two other job offers since I started at St. Paul's. Unfortunately both of them were part-time, but if I can get financial aid, I don't need to spend all of my time at work, and could actually work part-time instead...but I can't leave my kids while they're still mine, so I'm not considering anything else until they get taken away. I mean moved up to the blue room. If I did that, I would feel that I was betraying both my kids and their parents, and that's not something I could do.

I wonder if anyone else plans what they're going to do with their excess income when they graduate school like I do. I currently have my budget so that I'm really only living on less than half my income, because the rest of it pretty much goes to the U. Things I plan to buy when I graduate, because I don't see any reason to suddenly start living frivolously all the time. But I will probably buy a bed frame, so that I don't have a mattress on the floor anymore, new ski equipment, and possibly a Wii (and a television, to play the Wii on). I might also take up yoga, or as my late grandmother once suggested, pole dancing. Apparently it's a popular fitness trend now. But most of my money will go into savings for grad school, because that's what you do with a gender studies degree. Oh, and maybe someday I'll buy either a Ford Escape (my dream car) or a Subaru Forester, because it's a Subaru and an SUV, and I don't like cats.

Random funny thing of the week: In Salt Lake City, the lesbian bar is across the street from the Subaru dealership. (for those of you who don't get why this is funny, Subarus are considered a lesbian car unless you live in Utah, because practically everybody here has one)
