So most of you know, but after my second baby was born, I decided to quit my job and be a stay-at-home-mom! I love it (most days) but with Chris graduating recently we now have student loans to repay! With the economy so scary, Chris has decided to stay at his current job and current pay to have a secure job. So I was looking for something that I could do to help cover the extra payment. I decided to be a crossing guard! Pay is awesome for the little amount of work that I actually have to do, and the biggest bonus is that I get to bring my kids! But the scary part is how many people do not pay attention! When the lights are flashing, the speed limit is 20!!! Not 35 still! And just because the kids are past your lane of traffic does not mean you can go through the crosswalk! I am still in the road! These kids safety is in my hands, so please, please pay attention!!! I know everyone is in a hurry to get somewhere, but if you hit someone you will really be late! Please encourage everyone you to know to pay attention to crosswalks, not just when the lights are flashing, but always!
