LOOK WHO IT IS!.................
I have to say this lil one listen's to my voice almost every day sometimes she laughs and sometimes she's like who's that crazy person i hear. I love her more and more each day,and it hurts my heart that I'm not with her right now. Hopefully in about 2months Heather and Skylah will come home to visit,then I'll fly back home with them and be able to make up for some lost time!
So.....This week as a nanny I learned that kids are sneaky. I remember i use to lie all the time when i was little. Especially the time Aaron asked me for a glass of water,and when i brought it back it had bubbles in it b/c i had poured dishwashing liquid in the water (Surely....he wasn't gonna drink it) oh but he did!............Did i tell the truth? NOPE.......We all got in trouble for it.....
Glad that HEather and Aaron still don't hold that against me. I'm doing my best to dicipline in the right way. But Let me tell ya when Friday rolls around,I'm ready to get outta there. I'm sure it's different with your own children,but with 3kids who are all over the place. It's quite a challenge at times. Moving on.......... I got paid this week &the responsibility factor kicked it. I actually went to Walmart and bought a finance folder to keep track of all receipts and any bills that i need to pay. I know,I know.....CRAZY HUH?! ....;) yay for me.
I also paid of some debt owned and deposted cash flow in the bank account..Whoot,and treated myself to a movie last night with Johanna,(Everyone please go see NEW IN TOWN) it's soo funny.
I also was able to Reap the benefits of teaching the 2twins that they need to study for the exam,I drilled them until they new every times table and every question about "Thurgood Marshall" ect....I mean I drilled them...and pretty soon they were improving w/their answers...(it was very cool to watch,& Not only that,But one of the twins receieved allll 100's on his worksheets for this past week.;) I'm not giving credit to myself,but I know that if i didn't sit down w/them and really drill it in their heads they would of told me they studied and then played their DS for 2more hours.ya know?
However,I think after being responsible for 3kids,Especially for their meals,Driving them around,(gahhh that's huge) & making sure they study. Responsibilty for myself just kinda falls in place! Hopefully I can keep it up. I also made my closet favorite (hamburger helper for dinner one night) Yeh,and surprisingly enough it's not tooo bad for you .only 120cals in one Cup!
I told them I would make my new favorite dish that if i ate every day i would weight 500pounds.Baked Mac N'Cheese! ------------Kids are picky with food. Maybe this week I'll introduce them to my apparently known by some ppl weirdness dish (Peanut butter and brocolli) ;) it's soo good and a great day time snack.
