Quarterly Update...Bahaha

It seems to be that I am more of a "seasonal" blogger... I have a post for Spring, one for Summer... and now a Fall post. Maybe one day I'll move to monthly blogger, and... maybe even one day a tambourine. (Ok, too much 10 Things I Hate About You watching lately)

Anyway... I have a new job. I am a nanny. 42 hours a week, I have a teacup human in tow. She is 14 months old and lots of fun...when she's not being a PITA. (Pain In The Ass). Her mommy thinks she's starting the terrible 2's... a little early. Yippee! :P It's not too shabby though.. every morning I go on a 30-60 minute walk at the end of which baby falls asleep and I retire to a bench in the shady grass to read a book for 60-90 minutes. Life is rough... clearly. After that, it's playtime, lunch, playtime, second nap, time to go home. Restart next day. So far I've taught her:
-to say "Rib-ett" (or Rii-Rii, as she says it) after you ask what the frog says
-how to sign "more"...although she thinks it means more strawberries specifically, workin on that one
-to smell flowers (mommy loved that one)
-to stick her tongue out and say "bleeeehhhhh" (another classic.)
-how to put together Lego's...instead of just banging them together
I think that's it so far... so, in conclusion... there are a heck of a lot of jobs out there that are much worse than teaching a kid how to smell flowers, even if you have to change a few diapers in the process. Biggest downsides, I miss watching Riley, and I can no longer go to the gym at my usual time...which is proving to be de-motivating in the work-out department. At least I go on walks every morning, which I try to make power-walks instead of leisurely strolls. Biggest upsides, no longer in the broke department, and fun, easy-going job.

But enough about that.

Over on Sad Street... I haven't seen my sister and her kids in over a month... which is no fun. In Hannah's whole life I haven't gone that long without seeing them... it just ain't right. Trying to find a weekend that I can go see them, but life is busy and time don't wait.

Over on Happy Street... I have a secret brewing... it's pretty life changing... give me about a year and it'll no longer be a secret. Until then...happy guessing! I'm very excited though, I can say that. (NO, I'm not prego... otherwise the timeframe would be shorter... just to clarify that. the end.)

My Birthday is next week... I'm excited. The big 2.3. Actually, it's really no big deal... but I'm excited anyway. Hubby's was just a little bit ago... we decided that we would skip birthday presents this year and save up for a big Christmas... because we love Christmas. I'm already getting excited and it's definitely way too early for that.


No Conclusion... The End.
