Observations

Hey People!
I've been "in the working world" for 4 days now, and can I say that I am SUPER busy?!?  I mean seriously.  I was thinking today as I was vacuuming and this is what I have realized...

• I talk out loud what I am doing at the house where I nanny and at home.  Dogs and babies/toddlers get practically the same attention from me. "Miss Allysha/Mommy is cleaning this or that... Miss Allysha/Mommy is making a sandwich... What a good boy!... etc...."
• I am living two separate lives.  I clean and vacuum at one house only to go home to clean and vacuum at another.  I make meals at one house to only come home to make meals.  I go grocery shopping for one house only to go back later to grocery shop for my own.
• Getting things done need to be quick and precise.  Quickly make doctor's appointments.  Quickly run into the store for one item.  An hour lunch though seems long is short.
• I love Gold's Gym and the preppy-ness of it.  I love going into the steam room and hot tub after working out.  Makes working out worth it.
• My toes already have blisters... and it's only November 15th...
• Working all day makes you sleep REALLY hard at night.

Well my husband is finally home and now we have to figure out when and how to figure stuff out.  Like Thanksgiving.

The Past 2 Weeks

I've slacked on posting... Shame on me...  In a nutshell here's what's been happening...

• I turned 25.  Had a great birthday.  Drank a venti soy pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks and went to a pumpkin farm.  Super fun.  Thanks hubby!

    

too old for a regular box of candles...

• Buckley greeted me one day at the door with a 5 pound weight in his mouth.  Definitely working his jaw muscles!

• Buckley sprained his tail (swimmer tail) because he gets way too excited and is just one special pup.
• Saw our new nephew Jackson.  Super cute.

• Saw our good friend Augie get married to his best friend and lover, Naomi.  Andy was the best man.

my claim to fame: decorating the get-away car

• Saw Andy's family and their new broken legged puppy.
• Saw Megan who flew in from Mexico just for the wedding.  Love her and her future sombrero wearing babies.

• Saw Gregg from PT school and went on a sickening 4 hour pizza hop in downtown Chicago, only ending in running to catch the train home.

• Saw Grandma.  Love her.

• Hung out with my parents and played a mean game of Nertz.
• Saw other nephew Parker who has grown so much in a short 2 months!

• Came home to Buckley after his week in rehabilitation (aka our 80 year old neighbors' house).
• Back to work for Andy and back from my long sabbatical to work this coming Monday.... (nannying a 2 year old, 40 hours a week, etc, etc)

Well that's all I wrote.  Apologizes for the delay and shortness of this post but a nutshell isn't very big...
