you go to the store with snot and tear stains on your shirt and you don't even have kids of your own...
you sing the words to Elmo's World and Mickey Mouse Club House on the weekends...
you see a child in the store acting up and you automatically give them the "you better behave or else..." look...
you spend the majority of your day asking "do you need to go potty?"...
you clean up the same toys every 3 hours...
you treasure that quiet time between 1 & 3 (even if it is spent cleaning up and recharging)...
you feel like the only words that every come out of your mouth are "share," "no," "not right now," and "how do you ask?" "eat your food, please," and "leave your sister alone"...
you dread the never ending "Why?" questions...especially when they come out of a 2 year old's mouth (aren't
they suppose to start that at 3?!)...
your morning strolls are really an intense workout thanks to this...
plus an extra 50lbs thanks to the munchkins...
Anyone out there, nanny or not, feel the same way? There are so many other things I could write that would sum up a day in the life of a nanny, but I figured just sharing the things that consumed my morning would suffice.
...Gotta love it....
I just really absolutely LOVE the picture of the stroller! The Monster, should be its name. Seriously, who purchases something like on their own free will?? lol
ReplyDeleteHahaha that's awesome. I'm going to refer to it as "The Monster" from now on
ReplyDeleteWow... Two things. First, this makes me think of the work and reward of children. Tons of work but worth it in the end. Secondly... That makes my job sound wimpy. Feel free to slap me if you ever hear me complain about my work.
ReplyDeleteHahaha... well, it's definitely rewarding in the end (if you survive the hard times on the way)!
