So I was feeling really depressed yesterday because I was feeling like I wasn't a very good nanny, and I was going to blog about it, but I knew that it would only make me think about it more and feel worse. Today I am having a better day! My boss (the boy's mom) told me that the other nanny had trouble the first month she started so I felt better. I also got more ideas of where I could take the boys from my boss and from my wonderful blog readers!!
So, I was going to make plans today to do NOTHING (I'm sick), but the I realized that every time I walk into my apartment I want to vomit because the mess is so horrifying. It sucks because I'm a good cleaner.....when I get paid for it. I find it so hard to motivate myself and to find energy to clean when I know that its only me and Ryan....and Tim that are going to see it, but I also get depressed when its so messy.

Question of the day: What are some things I could do to motivate myself, or my husband, to clean? OR What are some ways I can KEEP my place clean?

I feel like such a lazy person to ask those questions. Oh well, at least I can admit it! I need some insight fast because Justin and Nicole are coming over to tacos next week....if the baby hasn't come yet.

Hey, look at me, I blogged 2 days after my last one...I'm so proud!
Well, I had a really great evening last night. I went to TYN and we had a worship night. It was cool because my friend Sarah sang with Tim and I and my friend Jeremy was playing the wicked awesome drums. It was cool because we did all the songs that we planned and practiced, and then we took requests, and the request songs sounded better musically than the planned songs. It's weird how that happens.
So I went to the train station with my boys today, because they are really into trains right now, and I went there hoping it would be really cool for them....it wasn't. They really liked how tall the ceiling is, but thats about all that interested them. I was hoping we'd see a train go by, but I don't know if you can even see it from the building. AND the Sugar Mountain train was closed for the season. They were kind of dissapointed in my field trip I planned for them, I felt so bad.

Question of the day: Where would I take boys who are into trains on the weekdays, or what kinds of activities could I do with them?? (Don't suggest snow forts, because I already made three, and one even has a slide that I made out of ice)

Wow, its been a month since I last blogged. I never want to blog when I have nothing to write because I don't want to bore anyone, and when I have stuff thats on my mind that I want to express, I can't seem to put it into words. Either I can't put it into words, or I SHOULDN'T put it into words.
So my new job is going pretty good. This is the start of the third week and I think that we're almost used to eachother now. The older one and I have similar attitudes, so sometimes we butt heads, but for the most part we like to play together. I love listening to the younger one talk, it's so cute. Today the younger one and I went to a gas station to get me some very needed coffee, and the lady at the cash register kept telling me how cute he was. I told her thank you, but I couldn't take credit for it, I'm only the nanny.
So I have to say, I really love going to LDN. Those of you who don't know what LDN is, its a Leadership Developmen Network. What we do is go somewhere for a night, usually a cabin, and we have three sessions. The sessions consist of three different areas in our ministry. Hands, Heart and Head. Hands teaches you how to be more effective in our ministry, Heart is your personal growth and mental health, and Head is Bible knowledge. It sounds like a lot of work, and it is, but its worth it!! I LOVE the people I do LDN with, they are just so awesome!! I really great community builder!
So I've been trying to learn how to skate this winter, and I went yesterday which was my 4th time this winter, and it felt like I had never been skating ever. I'm not sure why. My skates recently got sharpened so it can't be that, so I was wondering if any winterized manitobans had any insight for me.
So I'm pretty sure I'm going to be more on the ball with this whole blogging thing....hopfully!
