you know you're a nanny when...

- you have random cuts/ bruises on your legs from crawling around, wrestling, etc.
- you now sing songs in the kidz bop version
- you show off pictures of "your kids" like they really are your own children
- you now understand why your mother would get annoyed when you bothered her while she was in the bathroom (sorry mom)
- you never actually get ready for the day and when you do put on regular clothes and do your hair and make up, little girl says "why are you so fancy?"
- soap in the mouth is the ultimate threat... but you're too scared to actually commit to doing it
- you read the same 3 books about 70 times each day, every day
-you consider f.h.e. a good enough reason to get all dolled up
-you are bossed around by a two year old who insists on being called baby
-you try your hardest not to giggle and be serious when one of them says a swear
-you will do anything, ANYTHING to get out of playing pretend (i do anyways...i'd much rather be mia than zigina. that's always my name. i never have a choice)
-you are permanently covered with a thin layer of paint mixed with slobber and a little bit of glitter
-you keep having to come up with crafty ways to get the kids to do chores (listening to gangnam style is really working for me right now)
-gangnam style is constantly stuck in your head (see above)
-no is probably the most used word in your vocabulary
-boogers and poop
-the second you say "lights out" everything hurts

good thing i love these kids to death. cause despite the negativity you may have gathered from this post, I LOVE MY JOB!
