8 days later...


I am finally posting a new entry. My sister jdoc was here visiting, so I spent my time with her instead of writing. It was great to have her here with me, even if I did have to work for part of her visit. We spent some time in "The City" (as everyone calls it here) with her friends, which was great fun. Then she got to experience my life as a nanny in CT. Not as much fun, but better with her around. It is nice to have someone finally see what my life is like as a nanny far from home. I already miss her. Having her visit gave me something to look forward to, something to keep my mind off of my job. Now I need something new to count down to help pass my time until I leave, so do I have any takers for a visit to CT? Let me know. I know this is brief, but I need to go to bed. Not only was it an emotional day with having to say goodbye to my sister, it has also been a long day since I worked until 9:30 tonight (it was supposed be until 8 pm, but who's keeping track?). Buenos noches to all. I will write more soon.

Hopefully, you will have your parents coming to visit you. I want to see the city and what a better time to do it.

I'd love to come but I am so broke. :) So, I shall virtually visit you. We shall commence reminiscing about my visit there... Remember when I came to CT? Wasn't that a good time? Especially when we went to the one place that one time. Wow, thanks for showing me around the city. It's amazing. End virtual reminiscing. :)

"Absence makes the heart grow fonder"

I was always a bit skeptic of this phrase. How can being away from a person make you fonder? With time, you will slowly start to forget the sound of their laughter and the scent of their hair. You will forget the way they dance and the way they like their toast. Sure, when you see them again, when they laugh or dance, all those things come rushing back. Being away may make you yearn for them, but you no longer know them as well as you used to. At least that is what I used to think. I should have know this phrase was true since whenever I would see my sisters again, it was like no time had passed. I don't know what it was that made me realize all that I took for granted, maybe it is being away from home for so long or my travel mishaps or my friend's car accident or maybe just that I am getting older, something made me see how I took everything for granted in my life before I came here. It was so easy, I could go up the stairs or across the hall or get in my car and spend a day

What do I do?

All week I have made some attempt to tell the parents I am leaving. It started on Tuesday, all night I tried to tell them, but everytime I was about to bring it up, one of the parents would leave the room or the baby got hurt, etc. Wednesday, I made plans to go to the neighbors when the parents got home, but I made an attempt to tell them anyway, but S was glued to my side. I kept trying to distract her with food and television, but no go. I could have just said "I need to talk to you parents, go away", but I know her well enough to know that would have only peaked her interest and she would never go away. Last night, I was SO ready to tell them. The father asked me to watch the girls for 15 minutes while he weed-whacked the yard. I said sure, thinking the mother should be home any minute and then I could tell her when he is outside (I decided that if I can't tell them both at the same time, I will tell the mother alone). I waited and waited and waited. Not only was it 8

Target

I called my Mom to tell her that the parents are back and that I am responsibility-free in the evenings and weekends again. She didn't answer, but returned my phone call soon after. I told her my news, and she shared with me that she was about to head into the new Target. We are a family of Target-lovers, what's not to love? As she walked in, she said "it's huge." I tried talking to her, but could tell that she was distracted. She started to ask me something, "Did you... you should see the card section, it is like the one in Grand Forks." I, again, tried to change the subject back to what I was talking about. I finally let her go because she needed to finish shopping in there before returning home to watch Lost, throwing in "it has a Starbucks" before we said our goodbyes. A few minutes later my phone rings. It is my Mom again, she called to say "You should see all the food they have. They have a lot of organic food, organic oatmeal and or
