The Nanny Adventures and Library Visit!
My adventures and misadventures in being a nanny and mom as well as the creations I make for the ones I nanny and love. I am temporarily using this blog fora class I am taking, you will all now hear about my visits to my local library
We went to Ruth’s Reusable Resources http://www.ruths.org in Portland this afternoon. C picked out some large and small buttons priced at .05 and .03¢ respectively, as well as 1/4 of a roll of pinkish (her fave color) string at .25¢ this place is my new favorite place.
“Angie, i’m the same as you!, just kidding, you’re bigger”
Shaving cream exploration. She made “shrek’s swamp”
So I pick the 5 year old up after school at 4:30 (she had yoga after school) she is mopey, but still energetic (if that makes sense) she almost falls asleep on the 5 minute ride home and then refuses supper saying she’s too tired. She ends up falling asleep on the floor at 5:30. I try to rouse her because i know there will be hell to pay if she falls asleep. She ends up falling asleep regardless of my attempts to keep her awake. I decide to let her sleep and to take the wrath of her dad when he gets home. Enter 7:00 pm… i tell dad L is asleep. If looks could kill. I feel horrible. I explain everything to him but he is still not happy. He goes to write my check and i try to rouse L. She wakes up and says “i slept that whole time!” I said yep you did. I see she had an accident while sleeping so i take the blanket and throw it in the laundry, and tell her to start to get undressed. dad throws my check on the stairs and says thanks then goes to get L. I hear talking and scolding but can’t make out words. He cones storming out to the sunroom, tosses the baby gate and stomps upstairs saying “she had an accident all over the floor and herself” he is pissed at this point. He comes back down and storms off to tend to L. I gather my stuff and leave saying good bye to E. i just wanted to get out of there at that point. It is now 8:45 and i just got a txt apologizing and saying 30 mins after i left L spiled a huge temp and feels miserable. :( my heart breaks for her.
The 5 year old made “starry night” i couldn’t be prouder.
Because kool aid is only .22 a pack i got one of each color, i knew C would want pink so this is salt, flour, oil, boiling water, and pink lemonade kool aid. I’m a little disappointed there is no more “koolaid points”
Today at the playground there was an asian mom and her kids and their dad. C while swinging says to me “wow angie i didn’t know she could speak english!” All i can think is that she has only ever heard an asian person speak their native language. I didn’t even know how to respond.
