Another Day Off...

Yes, I know it's the third time in a month I've called in.

I also gave them an extra week and a half to find a replacement for my classroom, and every other day of the week I've been there busting my ass while I feel like complete shit.

I wanted to quit Kindercare long before I got pregnant. The politics in that center are so backwards that they've had 3 teachers walk out since I put in my two week to go part time. It seems to me that the General Manager should get it by now and step in.

Sometimes I think I'd be happier at a regular job.

Everyone keeps telling me not to feel bad about calling in or doing things for myself right now. It's hard when you're mind is trained to feel guilt when you are lazy, or feel irresponsible when you don't take care of your responsibilities.

But now since I have someone else to take care of, I shouldn't feel bad. So confusing.

I got a new credit card yesterday. The lady at the store talked me into it. It may not have been the smartest idea to sign up on a whim, but I really liked the sound of it. It's called a trustcard. It sets up a 529 for your child (college tuition account) and every purchase you make at participating stores/resturants (most of the stores I shop at were on there; target, walmart, grocery store, etc.) put a % of your purchase into that tuition fund for your kid. If you convince your relativies or inlaws to get the card too, they can link it to your kid's trust account and the rewards are doubled.

It's a long way off but if my kid ever tells me they don't wanna go to college, I'll have a huge guilt trip in the back of my pocket.
