brothers[revealed]

these brothers snuggle in the mornings

even though it ends with punching each other in the face,

its sweet for a moment.

disobedience[revealed]

dear nanny-child,

saying you're sorry

after you did something

that you knew was wrong,

sometimes just doesn't cut it.

instead of getting punished, you

get praised for saying "i am sorry".

this is not how the real world works,

you do not get to say you are sorry after

you do something wrong on purpose and then

benefit from it. i am justifying this though

because you are getting a lesson in grace, love,

& second chances & because your face is so sweet.

gasoline[revealed]

Because eventful things don't actually happen to me everyday, I frequently like to reminisce about my once thrilling life via blogging.

For example.

One time, I was pumping gas into my car.

And while I was just standing there, probably thinking about how many germs I was touching.

And wondering how long it takes to get high off of gas fumes,

A random man whistled at me.

The whistling wasn't the good part though.

The good part was that he was a totally normal looking man, and not a foreign yard-worker,

and that after he did it he threw his hand up over his mouth and looked mortified.

Then he looked back at me and said "I'm so sorry. I know that was terrible, but I couldn't help it, you look really nice".

And that my friends, was the greatest gas pump ever.

blind dates [revealed]

One time I went on a blind date. And we met at a coffee shop.

I arrived first.

An older gentleman approached me and started frantically waving.

He said it was so nice to finally meet me.

Needless to say, he was not actually my date.

As much as I love my nanny positions, its come to the time when they all come to a close. I'm looking forward to a much needed break for self-discovery and dips in the pool, but there aren't even words to describe how my life will change without these kids infiltrating it everyday.

I think its really hard for people to understand life from a nanny perspective, its not a maternal bond, but its stronger than an Aunt or Uncle. Honestly, I think the person its most similar to is a Grandma. I know that sounds bizarre, but I've done a lot of thinking. And I think that's what I relate to best. Which explains why my entire blog is devoted to my kids, its like my stylish alternative to carrying around a tote with their photographs all over it. (oh glory, please don't ever do that Kelly).

I've interviewed with several other families, and its about time that I start making my decision. My problem is that I have a heart for all these families, I want to help them all. I know God will lead me to the right choice.

This is what I'll be missing though:
