Has it really been a month since my last post. Boy, how quickly life can change. You'd think I would have learned that lesson by now, but every time life takes a left turn I'm always a little thrown off course. What am I talking about, nothing serious. Just I started nannying full time for a family of 4 in May as their existing nanny went on bedrest for her pregnancy leaving them nanny-less. I stepped in thinking it would be a great way to supplement my measly budget and the biggest bonus is that I can bring Silvia along. Swell! Not too many jobs out there that allow you to bring your kid along.
The family is nice and really I've only been watching the two youngest as the older boys were off at school. So I have Silv, a 2 year old and a 4 year old. They play pretty well together and it has given me a pretty good glimpse at what motherhood will be further on down the line.
Also, they offered me the nanny position for the fall too so my month job has now turned into full time work. I figure I can do this for a year then let life take me other places. But who would have every thought that I would turn out to be a nanny. I never, NEVER, babysat when I was a kid. Even until I had my own kid I didn't really care for kids much. I know, that is terrible to say but my patience was seriously lacking!
Anyway, I now need to leave my blogging diversion and get back to work. I am also working on facilitating a meeting for my old organization and only have a week to prepare! I'm a bit stressed to say the least.
I miss the blogging world. Hopefully I'll get to re-acquaint my self soon.
