SO I had my first day of work today. It was amazing!! I really like the kids in my class. They are all little hellions I can tell but they are really trying to lull me into a false sense of security. Mind you, when these kids act out they don't fight fair, we are talking head butting, biting, kicking, scratching, they are not nice kids. But they were awesome today.
I spent my morning reading their case files and then working with them all afternoon. Since the people who work there already showed me respect, they knew they had to respect me too. They followed all the rules I told them, I was great!
The people I am working with are also so much fun. When I got there one of the fellas opened the front door for me he said, "We've been waiting for you!" Everyone was so nice. During the morning meeting we were all laughing and getting along. Some people were sad to here I wasn't in their room. It was awesome to feel wanted. Turns out a girl that I spoke to at the group interview also got hired so that was very cool to see her.
I can't wait to learn everyone's names and classes. As it goes, I feel like this is the right fit finally.

Yay :)

Oh, I forgot to mention, I also got my Stimulus check today! A full $600!!! Suhhhh weeeeet!! This will be nice. I think I am also going to talk to my friends that live in Mass and might go up and visit the week of the 4th of July. I get the whole week off!!! Well, sort of, there's a half day on Monday but the rest of the week is off. It'd be great fun. Cape Cod at the 4th is soooo much fun. I would love to do that again. Plus I'd maybe get a chance to see my Kris and Emily! Kris?? :) :)

So pleasant and drinking a great wine while my fabulous wife spoils me by baking me cookies and dinner, I am so happy right now :)
