Life as a Nanny

So this was my first week as a nanny, started out rocky. New place new house and my computer broke- leaving me out of contact with everyone that I eft back home...monday was my break down day. But a great friend sent me his spare mac book until I figure out what I want to do ( I can never thank him enough). The lil one did much better this week. I guess I never really realized how important it is to be on some sort of schedule. Adults love them, and babies crave them. She has made some new discoveries this week, she was able to garb her bottle and half roll over. and yesterday she discovered her feet. Its so cool to see how much the learn and how fast it all goes. I have always been very unsure if I wanted children of my own..and I felt this would be a great reason for me to see if I did or not. If you would have asked me monday I would have said heck no I dont want them still, but today, I think maybe I could do this, granted I would like a husband and a great family support system, cuz there is NO way I could be able to do this by myself. I have great respect for single moms doing it alone. And on another note, spending all day with their dog...had really made me want one..or maybes cuz I am so far away from everyone and really want a companion..who knows we shall see

New Chapter

Been a long time since I have been on here, and a lot has changed. I left my job doing social work, and was waitressing for awhile. And I just started being a personal nanny. That wasnt the biggest change, I have moved from Iowa, home to Illinois, and then to Spring Texas all in a less than 3 weeks. This is something totally new for me. I have never really known if I wanted chldren or not, and with being a nanny to a 3 month old I think this is gonna be a new test for me. I was ready for a change. Things just kept going down hill, I find it funny how fake some people can be for so long, and once you leave they show the real them. I have learned so much from the 4 years that I had in dubuque. People are not always as they seem, and some people will suprise you when you least expect it. I am excited for this new adventure and this new chapter but not as excited to have to make new friends. I had just gottena  great core group of friends, and I hope we all stay in touch, I know that we are getting older and times are changing but this is the age where we can have the firends we want for the rest of our lives. My friends all know they are more than welcome to visit any time and I will try to get back as much as I can. I hope this chapter opens all kinds of new things for me. I had said I would go back to grad school, and I do still REALLY want to but maybe right now I need to do this ( since the mom is a professor at a univ. maybe thats the way to get my foot in the door) every oppertunity leads to another oppertunity. I am taking this chance by the horns(maybe long ones? haha get it?)
There shall be more to come- as life of a Nanny continues
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment
