Pretty Little Liars

So, I am addicted to the show Pretty Little Liars. Season 4 starts on Tuesday and season 3 just came out on Netflix, 3 days ago, so I've been a vegetable trying to get all season 3 watched before then.  Since I have been on this Pretty Little Liars overload, some of that show is starting to mix into reality...not really but I had a funny experience. So the other morning one of the kids came into my room, I was sleeping but could sense that someone was in there with me. As this person was walking out the door I opened my eyes to try to see who it was.  Because I am practically blind without my glasses or contacts my mind (due to PLL) jumped to the terrifying thought that "A" (the blackmailer[s] in PLL) was in my room. Yeah I think I've watched quite a few episodes....but thats ok, by Tuesday it will be an episode a week!!! :)

I'm sorry

Today as I was driving down loudoun County Parkway I saw a thick black rope laying on the road. As I got closer going approximately 50 mph I noticed that this rope wasn't like normal ropes. It was somewhat slithering. By the time my brain registered what it really was I was halfway over its poor body. Looking in my rear view mirror I saw a snake go flying into the air. Landing and writhing in pain. If snakes could scream it would have been very loud. I feel so horrible. Rest in peace big guy. I'm sorry to have killed you. Like literally I cried even if you are a disgusting creature. 

In loving memory of the snake. ?- May 20, 2013 

A Difficult Decision

This last week was one of the hardest yet.  After a few fiascoes with the children I finally made up my mind that I just can't do this job anymore.  After donating so much of my time, love and care for these kids and getting nothing but disrespect and rude behavior, I just can't do it anymore.  So this week I told my boss that I'm done.  He sadly didn't take it well, believing somehow that I would be with them forever.  He blamed the kids, went crazy etc.  and now he won't talk to me...but oh well.  At first deciding this was so extremely difficult for me. I love these kids! I don't want to leave them, but I need to get my life back on track and stop acting like BOTH parents for them.  They have been through a lot and its heartbreaking having to leave, but its for the best.  I truly believe that this is the best thing that could happen on both our ends.  Hopefully they can come closer together as a family and realize the good thing they had (ME) and maybe a change it up a bit attitude wise.  As time has gone on from this ultimate decision, I've come to grips with it and I CANNOT WAIT TO BE HOME!!!! At first  I was a hot mess (like really) but as more and more time passes I am so ready! FREE ME! So, if any of you readers know of anyone looking to be a nanny for a great family, let me know. And if any of you readers can hook me up a job in Logan that would be great too! A month and a half until I see my family, start school again, and just enjoy being a 19 year old for a little bit! :) 

Spring Break Dolphin Style

I know I haven't posted in a while, but I've been busy and without my own computer it has been difficult.  I mean lets face it, typing a novel on an iPhone isn't as easy as it sounds....But anyways, in March me and the Namily (nanny family) went to Florida for Spring break!!! WAHOOO!!!!! I got to do some things I never thought I would be doing, at least not anytime soon. And of course those kiddos had done it all already so it wasn't as awesome for them -_- *ahem* *Spoiled* *Cough Cough* But, I GOT TO SWIM WITH DOLPHINS AND SEE HARRY POTTER WORLD at Universal Studios!!!! I LOVED IT!!!! I NEVER WANTED TO LEAVE!!!!! And so now, me and the bestie +Katie Jessop are going there before she gets married to her man :) Can I just say we're awesome?  Cause we are :) haha anyways, Florida was fantastic. I wish I could post pics but I'm on a library computer and all the pics are on my phone.

The Dolphins we swam with were Axel and Akye.  Axel was a younger dolphin so he was extremely playful :) It is so amazing how interactive and well trained they are.  It was almost like they were humans stuck in dolphin bodies.  They would talk to us and play with us. It was amazing! I wish I could have a pet dolphin.  It literally almost made me change my major! I used to read about dolphins all the time and as a youngster seriously considered becoming a marine biologist, so being able to experience that was a dream!!! At Discovery Cove (where we swam with dolphins) we also got to go snorkeling with sting rays and all sorts of beautiful fish! I want my scuba license so bad! Or at least live near an ocean so I can do that more often! It was so amazing! I love the ocean I love fish, I LOVE dolphins!!!! They had a shark and eel tank in the snorkel area.  I didn't know they did so when I looked to my side and saw these scary eels I was shocked that they had allowed those to be swimming around with us. Then I realized there was glass and it was a separate tank...yeahhh....freak out moment for sure.  But all in all it was amazing. I am so glad I got to experience that beautiful place!

Being in Florida, we of course went to Disney.  Magic Kingdom was at full capacity for part of one afternoon so we went to Epcot to pass the time.  That place is laaaammmmmeeee. For us high adventure thrill seeking roller coaster crazed kids we wanted the big stuff and well, Epcot is more for sight seeing. But we eventually got to MK. And Oh my Lanta! That night it was FREEZING!!!! Ally and I had made the mistake of wearing shorts and forgetting sweatshirts. And we all about died.  The wind was blowing super hard and it was just miserable.  The kids were complaining the whole time while I was trying to have fun.  If I hadn't been there they probably would have left within 5 minutes.  But I was determined to ride the Peter Pan ride and Winnie the Pooh! NO ONE could stop me! NO ONE!!!! No matter how lame the said it was, I was NOT going to leave!!! Oh and since it was so cold and fairly late at night, we got the whole park to ourselves.  We rode splash mountain 3 times in a row. despite how freezing it was and the ever pending doom that we would get soaked. Oh and I came in second place on the Buzz Lightyear ride.  Take that gamers :) (aka Ryan)

Universal Studios was one of my favorite places. Mostly because it had the Harry Potter area!!!! Oh my goodness. I was so in love.  Drinking butter beer and riding the dueling dragons, visiting Zonkos joke shop and Honeydukes sweets, and that Hogwarts castle/ride....I was in heaven.  Really though, heaven should be exactly like that. Thinking about it makes me want to cry... but not really...but yes at the same time because I miss it. I just can't even begin to describe it. It was my childhood, and it was tangible. Magic is real folks!!! I swear!!! Maybe not quite like Harry Potter magic, but its out there everywhere. I can't wait to go back again! Cannot wait! It couldn't come soon enough!!!
