Yes, I know that I did not post this last night,
officially I failed on Day 5. By the
time I got home from Orientation, caught up with my dad about how the kids did
yesterday, had a huge long lecture with Red about the seven different ways I’m
going to lose my sanity if he doesn’t start obeying and doing schoolwork, and
then ate dinner … it was going on 10pm and I was so tired, I couldn’t keep my
head up. So, today, I shall write two
posts, because I just can’t not write about my day yesterday. Why?
Because … my new job is AWE. SOME. I had so much fun yesterday!
It started with the basics – a history of the
company, mission statements, safety information, how many passes we get … the standard. But then, THEN! Then we got to take a tour of
Discovery Cove. Whoa. This place is AMAZING. It honestly feels like you’re walking through
some island far away from everyone and everything else in the world. I realize that I’m going to be *working*
there, and that it will, indeed, actually be hard work. But the surroundings are just so fantastic, I
don’t think it will be too difficult to make the stretch.
I realize that not all of you are going to know
what this place really is, so a bit of info… Discovery Cove is an interactive
marine life resort. Guests can spend
their day snorkeling with fish and rays, lounging in the lazy river, feeding
birds, watching marmosets and otters play, and swimming *next to* sharks – but not
with lol. For a little extra, you can
swim with dolphins, and take an underwater walking tour! There are lounging areas, cabanas, unlimited
food and beverages… the list of amenities goes on forever. And all of it is nestled in lush greenery and
white sandy beaches.
Folding towels and handing out wet suits just
doesn’t seem too bad when THAT is where I will get to do it.
... … …
So now I have two days to work through a HUGE
to-do list of lesson planning, cheer instruction, housework, cooking,
organizing, phone calls, emails, and – wait for it – actually spending some
quality time with my kids. Friday is going to be another long day of errands
and more orientation.
Very excited – very blessed!
