"So you're a nanny? Does that mean you can't get married or is that a nun?"Thursday, December 23, 2004
- my 11 year old cousin Lauren at our family Christmas
Just thought I'd share, it cracked me up, sounds like someone's been watching a little too much Sound of Music....I told her of course I had taken a vow of celibacy upon accepting my job. I am bound to this family forever....uh no...
I have four more days here, I'm not looking forward to leaving, but at the same time I need some routine in my life again. Vacation is good for awhile, but it doesn't pay the bills, and it doesn't always spark productivity...
What I'm really looking forward to is seeing Amyjill tomorrow and Kay on Friday. I love seeing people, I just wish I could keep them... : )

It's snowing...the world is freaking out because it's snowing. There isn't a news station around that isn't obsessing over the fluffy white stuff. It's really funny, sure there's a lot of snow there, but it's not THAT much...maybe eight inches or so, maybe a little more. I guess some people south of here got 12-22...that's a lot of snow. It's so pretty, I love winter!Friday, December 10, 2004
I'm here in Ohio, I've been here since Saturday. It's been really nice, I've been sleeping, seeing people, wasting plenty of freetime. I'm not going to want to go back on the 2nd...well I may be a little ready. I was looking at pictures of the kids yesterday, and I actually missed those rugrats. I expected to eventually, but not this early. I know that Jimmy is going to scream his head off when I walk into his birthday party on Sunday, but I miss him anyway.
Well Merry Christmas to all my dear readers! I may write more when life gets exciting, but nothing's happening right now. : )

"normal girl", but you're actuallyvery beautiful. And you have plenty about you to
set you apart, but more thatlets you blend. People love the stability you have
because as others may comeand go, you will always be there and you may always
be the same. You like simplethings and that's what people like about you. You
most likely enjoy things mostconsider normal, like movies, shopping, that sort
of thing and are very friendlyand probably have many friends. You are sweet and
kind and that shows on you,but you're also strong and not very naive. You're a
rather well-roundedindividual. Even though some people pass you off as
just another girl, shrug itoff because they don't know what they're
missing.Some ThingsThat Represent You:
Element:Earth, Light Animal: Cat Color:
Pinks, Blues, Browns Song:Girl Next Door by Pilot Expression: Simple

one person you may be the world."

And here I am again, wow if I keep this up ya'll may start expecting a regular entry or something...we can't have that now can we?Tuesday, December 07, 2004
I feel like crap, I hurt all over, and I'm nauseous. I know you all wanted to know that, but I thought I would share. I'm trying to keep from diagnosing myself with some terminal illness. Most everyone who reads this knows what a hypochondriac I can be. It's just a pickin' stomach virus Tracy, you don't need to start writing your will. If I had health insurance I would just cart myself to the doctor to ease my worry...but weird symptoms + doctor's office usually = ridiculously expensive tests where they charge you $250 to steal a vial of your blood and mix it with some chemicals.
Okay enough about that...I was driving back from taking Jimmy to school this morning and I passed this house with about 7 or 8 completely black cats just congregating on the porch. It was kind of freaky, someone is a little obsessed I think. I'm glad that I'm not all that superstitious. It was just a lot of black cats, it would have been equally freaky if they were all white or grey or plaid! Especially if they were plaid.
Just over a week till I get to go home again. Words cannot express my excitement, I wish it was tomorrow. It will be weird though, my parents had to put one of our dogs to sleep this week. It was very sad, but she was really sick, full of cancer. She had a good life, she was 13 or 14 I think, but it's still sad. It will be strange without her. In about three months we have gone from 4 dogs to 2, and my cat is ailing...pets just aren't supposed to all die at once.
Well I need to go, my brain tumor is throbbing.. : ) Just kidding, but I do have a headache, so I think I will lay down for a bit before Molly decides to wake up.

You are a silly English Knnnnnniggit! Brave, loyal,
and (somewhat) chaste, you follow your leader
without question...even though you're not
really that smart.

J.R.R. Tolkien: Lord of the Rings. You are
entertaining and imaginative, creating whole
new worlds around yourself. Well loved, you
have a whole league of imitators, none of which
is quite as profound as you are. Stories and
songs give a spark of joy in the middle of your
eternal battle with the forces of evil.

You have the Renoir girl look. Youd have enchanted
the French Impressionists, who painted lively
girls at work and play. Their models were
ballet dancers, girls of Paris enjoying
themselves at open air dances or in music halls
and cafes, delighting in the sunshine or the
bright lights of French nightlife. The Renoir
girl loved to experiment with make-up and were
fun loving, sexy yet elegant. The following
painters would have loved to paint you; Dietz
Edzard, Edourad Manet, Edgar Degas and Auguste
Renoir.

Oh I am feeling Woozy...I took an Ultracet today for a headache, my doctor gave me a few samples to try, it's stronger than a Tylenol, but not a narcotic...it took the headache away, but I'm so sleepy and off. It's sort of like taking a percoset, but not as much fun. I just want to go to bed, but I'm afraid that I'll have a hard time getting up when the kids wake up.
So I haven't written in a little less than month, I'm really bad at the updating of this thing. I used to be a lot better, but I guess my life just isn't as exciting as it used to be..and you're all saying..Yeah Tracy it wasn't all that exciting before either...
I flew up to Milwaukee and spent time with Amyjill for Thanksgiving. That was a lot of fun, and I did NOT want to come back. I almost didn't make it back since my plane was delayed about two hours, and I didn't make it back to the KC area until 1:30 am...I was supposed to be back before 11...that sucked. I got to my car at 2:20, floored it home, got a speeding ticket, and made it home before 3. I was in bed at 3:30 and got up at 6:15...yeah...we didn't do a whole lot last Monday. But the time up in Wisconsin was good, did a little shopping, got to experience going to a Christmas tree farm, played a lot of Dutch Blitz, hung out with an almost 5 year old who was convinced I had come to see him, made up some new words, talked, it was just a good time. I got my cheese curds which made me happy, and I think it was a successful trip. Good times good times! My thanks goes out to Amyjill for being so wonderful! Oh and I guess Matt and Josh too... : )
I watched the Jr. High talent show from when I was in eighth grade on Saturday. I sang "On my own" and I played in the Jazz band. It was all sort of depressing, I sounded awful and looked like a freak. I guess Jr. high is rarely the best time of anyone's life. But it was just scary to watch. Then I started wondering where all the other people were today. All these names and faces were just appearing in front of me, that I haven't heard in years. It was so nuts, I wonder what they're all doing and if the popular snotty girls are still the same, and if the weird brainy ones are off doing something incredible. It's just sort of weird that you spend 18 years with the same kids, and then suddenly you're out in the real world and you rarely hear of any of them. I also have to wonder if anyone wonders where I ended up, I wasn't the poster child for popularity, but people generally knew who I was...they had to have someone to make fun of...not bitter at all... : ) What would they think if they knew that I ended up graduating from college and becoming nanny in Kansas? Why do I care? I don't know, it just got me thinking.
Well I'm having trouble keeping my eyes open, I think I'm not taking this medication again unless I can go right to bed. I need to go do something that will keep me awake.
