Where did I go??

Okay I know I've been neglectful. And for those of you who don't know the reason why, well here it is..........Work. I know, I know, lame reason for disappearing off the face of blogging. But let me break it down as to what that really means. I started working for a company in Utah that works with troubled youth back in October. I've been working at a Girls Group Home. Well at the end of May I was asked to move up to the Draper Boys Group Home and be the Assistant Home Supervisor, I know fancy title. What exactly does that mean? That means I work 40 hours of over time every week. But I say that with a smile on my face, cuz I really do like my job. I came into the boys home knowing that there were some issues that would be difficult for me to deal with, but yet knowing that I would be up for the challenge. So what exactly do I do? I help mold boys with behavioral issues. That means I go with them to court dates, therapy meetings and help them figure out life on a day to day basis. I'm the person they get to vent their grievances to, and I really do like it. That and a TON of paperwork. Files, Files Files!! That's my job. I can honestly say I've had more fun working with the boys than I did with the girls, yep, less drama. And its been fun seeing the inside of the boys thought processes, especially when it comes to what they think about girls. So even though I've only had one day off in 30, I can say I still really like my job and I think that it was the best thing for me to take on.
