I quit! (employment that is)

Just feeling a little pissed off and attention whorish at the moment. Let me explain:
I'm a preschool teacher who has worked for the last year in a preschool where the children are violent and insanely badly behaved. We have a lot of children with behavioural issues. Yesterday I was physically attacked by a 3 year old. I was hit and kicked in the stomach, scratched, spat at and cussed at. I was so angry/upset that I found myself bursting into tears. My boss' reaction was "oh you must just be tired because of the pregnancy. I was so pissed off for the rest of the day. No I wasn't crying because I'm tired and pregnant, I was crying because I was physically attacked by a demon child who hit and kicked me in the stomach!
So anywho I made the decision right then and there to hand in my notice. DH basically forbade me to ever step foot back in the place. I've been very unhappy with my job for a long time. I'm made to work enormously long hours, often with no breaks and am on my feet the entire time. It's a loud, stressful, unsafe, physically and mentally draining environment. We have to deal with major physical altercations all the time when none of us are trained to deal with them, often getting physically hurt ourselves. The incident yesterday was the straw that broke the camels back. If my safety and that of my unborn child are at risk then stuff it. I don't care that I won't be getting paid and that I'll not have a whole lot to do until April. I had planned to leave the week before Christmas anyway but now there's no way I can stay that long. I'm completely burned out. I handed in my notice today giving 4 weeks notice so I will be finished at this awful place on November 5th and I cannot wait.
Just wanted to have a good bitch about that! If you read that you deserve a medal!
