So today was my first day by myself self. Yesterday the boy's babysitter/old nanny was here to train me and show me the ropes of how this works in this home. If you didn't already know, I started a new nanny job in Cody, WY taking care of twin 2.5 yr old boys.. Ben and Lucas. I live in the guest room (most of the time) and have a bathroom.. and a bathtub and a shower and a walk in closet... that's important. Really important.
So today was... interesting.
I started the day off by popping out of bed at 5:45 and going for a quick run. It was quick because it was still kinda dark and I am TERRIFIED of the dark.. like for real, and I saw this thing up there that was big and black and getting closer to me faster than I was moving towards it and ya, okay, I got scared! Fine. I admit it. I turned around and ran back quite a bit faster than I got there actually. I had some time for a quick shower, some writing in my journal quiet time and all before 6:30ish when the boys got up.
Now, both parents work some days of the week and they cry every time one walks out of the room or leaves.. EVERY time. There were 10 meltdowns between them before 10 AM. Which was okay, I mean it was the first day and they are not used to me yet so I expected that somewhat. They were also up most of the night last night so... ya.
We went for a walk, had breakfast and hit the library (which is AWESOME btw) at about 10:15.... 15 minutes late... dang. We were supposed to go to story time but two someones who will remain unnamed decided to make it 11 and 12 in the meltdowns and we kinda had to leave. After an hour or so of puzzles and stuff we headed home for some lunch and a NAP for the boys.
Oh and you should know that the landscapers were here and their two workers were bums, "Ren" Because he had a bit of a bad attitude like Ren off footloose and "Captain Crack" because he had atleast 6 inches of his rear showing every time he bent over. I found them kind annoying.. mostly because they were bumming around and that annoys me. :-P
While the boys slept I did general stuff, cleaned the car, washed the carseats, bla bla bla, then they woke up and were up for about an hour before Mr. came home. He was being a great involved daddy and took them for a walk (I think he may have also seen that the nanny was about to kill them) I took the opportunity to vacuum and discovered that someone who will remain anonymous but his name starts with a B and rhymes with "en" took the bathroom trash can, put it in the sink and had been letting it fill and overflow for like 45 min. I did not cry that time... or the second time... or the third time. I started to think by the third time when I caught him in the act that I should be smart enough to see this coming and punish him or something.
Then we danced and they thought I was like the energizer bunny or something and that I could just throw their massive selves (they are the size of 4yr olds btw) all over for hours.. I am not and I cant. After their parents got home from getting Dinner, I went to walmart with Karissa and then wrote this and now I am going to go and sit down.... and sink down... in a nice long bath...
PS this picture is when I put their car seats back together and while I was re adjusting the straps... I thought I'd just leave them there... it was a wonderful feeling ;-)
PPS Captain Crack got a massive Sunburn on his rear end... I was really really tickled and amused by that.. I literally walked across the house giggling out loud about it. I know, its horrid.
