"Ladies of the Irish persuasion are unique in their character. They are a combination of a little girl, mother, hooker, and nun. They go from Bambi to Banshee in 3.7 seconds. They can bat their eyes, or blacken yours. They can love you with a passion and make you feel like a king. They can be frail and strong at the same time. Depending on their mood, they'll chastise you for drinking...or match you pint for pint. The ladies keep Irish men from killin' themselves and each other. They're incomprehensible, yet indispensable at the same time..."
Omg, a first grade classroom?! That is beyond awesome! Benefits, all the holidays, vacations & summers off. That is the perfect age group too - innocence before corruption. You'll get to see mostly all the good stuff & then get to send them all home at the end of the day. Haha. But seriously ... What could be better? I'm SO glad you were able to find a full time job doing exactly what you wanted to do. I am SO happy for you, GF. *wiggles* Congratulations!
