Five Months Ago

I wish I had started this blog the minute I began working as a nanny, but I had no idea what I was getting myself into. The family I work for has a 7 year old son who is, simply put, all over the place; energy wise and sometimes a bit emotional. My job has consisted of having to make sure he does his homework, take him to either swim practice or karate, getting him to eat his dinner and not watch too much TV, making sure he takes a shower, brushes his teeth, and having me read him a book right before going to bed. Within these past five months, I have been forced to have motherly instincts, become responsible and, for the first time, be organized. Being as I am often forgetful and spacey, this has made me work at being the opposite. And thus far, I think I have done alright at managing this. The main reason for this blog is because every single night when I come home from nannying, there is something that went on during the day that I've had to share with my friends and family. Because of this, I wish I had started writing these things down back when I started working because now I can only remember just a few of the things that have happened. Also, I cannot remember specifically in which order these events occurred or when they were and because of this, each entree will be a different anecdote. Regardless, they are quite entertaining.
