Capes, Coffee, and the attack of the Children

I am probably the single most boring person in the world. I'll sit and watch Good Luck Charlie or other teeny-bopper Disney shows for hours on end instead of socializing. But honestly? People kind of scare me. It's not like all I do with my time is sit and watch TV while drinking coffee... Pshhh, who has time for that with 2 jobs and starting full time grad school? Not this girl. All I'm saying is if I have some down time I'd prefer to chill with the Duncans, at least they don't make me wear a bra or comb my hair.

I'm a jack of all trades. I juggle two part time jobs. If I'm not in a small kiosk terrorizing and lying to children (no, lovebug, me jamming this sharp earring through your ear with a gun is NOT going to hurt so please sit still and don't kick me in the uterus and I'll be quick and give you a lollipop) I'm in a school or home, telling teachers and parents how to handle the behaviors of their kids. Making kids cry seems to be my thing. Making other adults mad when I try to tell them that their tactics for dealing with kids is sub-par, also seems to be my thing. If being my thing is defined as being glared at on a regular basis. After all  I didn't slave through 4 years of undergrad to have a job where oh, I don't know, I don't leave on a daily basis without a new battle scar to show off. Good thing I like scars.

More than likely, though, this is all for the greater good. If I'm going to be a baker, or a photographer, or an archaeologist, or you know, a teacher like I'm signing away more years of my life and money for, these skills will come in handy.

It's also a good thing that I have a close relationship with coffee. It means the difference between dusting off my cape and lying down and having children climb all over me.
