no one tells you that part
okay so i have exactly 38 days left here (my stomach just dropped typing that.. i thought it was more). and coming out here i had SO MANY people telling me how much fun i would have and how much i would learn and how much i would love the city and that being a nanny is such a great experience.
but no one tells you the part about how hard it is to leave. on monday when i was out to lunch with my mom, we started talking about it and it started bawling. and i didn't really stop crying. then when i walked into the house and went in to say goodnight to that sweet little boy and he looks up at me and smiles and says "i missed you mia!" and i lost it again.
no one tells you how attached you get to the kids.
no one tells you how attached you get to your new home
or the runs on the beach
or late night Mel's runs
or the friends you make who will return to their own homes in other states
or the trips you make downtown by yourself
or your uncle who you wished you had spent more time with
i live in one of the biggest cities in america, people travel the world to visit where i LIVE and i feel like i don't have enough time. like i still have things i need to do before i leave. but i think no matter how long i stay here, it will never be enough time.
but leaving the city isn't even the hard part. every time that little boy tells me he loves me or when that little girl runs up to me and hugs me or when the other little boy tries and fails to scare me, my heart just breaks knowing that i'm just going to leave them. i cannot believe how much i love these kids. i didn't know that i was capable of loving other human beings the way i love these kids.

me: i'm not telling you. it's in plain sight
LG: what's in plain sight?
me (to LG): you are driving me crazy
LG: cray cray
LG: there's braille, in case you go blind for a sec
LG: can we put it in the sun to dry?
me: there is no sun
LG: maybe we can put a lantern over it
i hope you enjoyed these as much as i did. look out for part two sometime in the future.
happy weekend!

another thanksgiving blog post
tonight while i was eating my thanksgiving dinner, little girl decided we should all say what we are thankful for. and i thought i would share my answers with you all:
1- my family (obvi) and the relationship i have with them and have been able to maintain being long distance
2- my nanny family and everything they do for me
3- my church
and last but not least
4- my boyfriend
my answers are so cliche but i also think it's important to recognize and voice (or type) what you are thankful for.
i hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving!

i'm not a writer
okay. call me crazy. but i have a sudden desire to write a children's story. i've been inspired by watching once upon a time and also by little girl who is constantly begging me to tell her stories about mermaids and fairies and princesses. and ya know, not to toot my own horn or anything but some of my stories aren't bad, even i feel the suspense when i'm the one creating it. i'm not the most eloquent writer but, i'm gonna give it a try.
