Mediocrity

I've got to remember to write on this thing more... a few weeks go by and I think, "I haven't posted in awhile..." Usually, it's because nothing too interesting has happened. Like today, for example. But, I am going to post anyway. ::Sigh::

I started my new *job this week and last week. Nannying. I actually Nanny for two different families, both with a set of twins. The first family has two 3-month old girls named Gabriella & Arianna who are incredibly adorable. I babysit them two days a week and they have incredible perfect parents, an incredibly perfect house, and an incredibly perfect life. I'm jealous. The second set is Gwen & Charlie, whom I *nanny three days a week. They also seem adorable, although tomorrow is my first day. Seeing as they are about a year and a half and almost in their terrible twos, I'm going to go ahead and assume that they are not going to be as incredibly cute & loveable - but we will see. I can't wait until it gets warmer out and we can go to parks and frolick around lincoln park.

I'm really, really happy about my decision to Nanny for the next 6-8 months before I move back to STL*. It's something that I really enjoy doing, and I am able to make way more money doing this than I would at an entry-level job. I know in the long-run, I won't be able to work my salary up, but I am not worried about the 'long-run' - I have bills to pay. Now. Bills that need to be paid now, and I need a quick fix. Hence, a cash job that I love doing. Hopefully, I will be able to save up enough money to get settled in Saint Louis for a few months before I either go back to school or get a good job.

*JOB - Or in my case, nannying.
*Nanny - An uppity word for 'babysitter.' Yes, uppity.
*STL - YES, I am moving back to STL. If you have questions, ASK.
