Thursday :)

Ahhh yes it's Thursday! After this class I can go back home and catch up on all my readings for my English class. Yesterday the book store informed me that my book won't be coming in until the 23rd, so I had to ask one of my friends in the class if I can borrow her book to make photo copies.

This morning with Abby and Dylan was a rough one. When I walked in they were both fighting over who's show they were going to watch in the morning. Mind you that they have three TVs in the house. but of course they both HAD to watch TV in moms room. So I told them they each can watch one of their shows, which I thought was fair. But Abby did not agree! She started to cry and scream, so I then simply told her that if she was going to keep crying she would not be able to watch TV period. Well that calmed her down and she went back into the room and watched her show.

It so crazy how the little ones get so bent out of shape over TV in the morning. But they are only five and eight. Oh well!


I hope everyone has a great weekend! I know I will enjoy not waking up at 6:30am for two days :)

Rain Rain go away !!

About 2 years ago I was asked by one of my neighbors if I was interested in watching her children in the mornings since she and her husband have to leave to work by 7am and the kids dont have to be in school until 8:30-9am. I said yes right away because it sounded like an easy job. I am basically a nanny, and I love every moment of it! it does get challenging at times but that's life! These children that I spend every morning with are so sweet and loving. When I walk into the house in the mornings i usually greeted with a bigggg huggg! but this morning was different when I walked in this morning Stacey told me that the kids were still sleeping so I knew that today was going to be a rough day! plus it was raining. Stacey told me all that I needed to do and what was already done for the kids, she showed me the papers that needed to go to each teacher and then she was off to work. Around 7:30am I woke up both children, Abby and Dylan, with a friendly hello and saying "Its the first day of school, wake upppp!!!" they weren't as excited as I was trying to be at 7:30am Abby started to cry right away, and she was yelling for her mommy but little Dylan was right by her side telling her she was going to have so much fun in school today. It was very sweet!  Dylan was my little helper this morning he helped me make breakfast for himself and for his sister. Abby was not having it this morning, she was going into a new school today so she was really scared and wanted her mommy. I tried my best to keep her relaxed but she wanted nothing to do with me this morning. I finally was able to get her attention when i asked her if she wanted me to paint her nails for the first day of school. SHE LOVED IT and it made her stop the crying. Finally some peace and quiet. Around 8am is the time when i like to get the kids dressed and ready for the day so we can leave the house by 8:30am. After I dropped the kids off I go home and get myself ready for class then off i am to Caldwell.
