So it's almost been 3 months since I posted something on here...Wow...thats kind of crazy. Who knew work could keep a person so busy??? I really should have been informed. Aside from the being crazy busy part, things are good here at 6969 Bayers Rd. A lot has happened since my last post but i'm promising myself this is not going to turn into one of those posts that require pee breaks.

The biggest change in my life was probably the fact that i'm now working 2 jobs. In addition to fun times at the Y, I'm also nannying for one of the cutest and dare I say oddest babies on the planet. Her name is Sophia, she's 14 months old and everyday with that child is an adventure. A day does not pass without some new quirky behavior being discovered. She also eats everything in sight. If its on the floor it's probably going in her mouth. I can't wait for the holidays when she begins pooping out pine needles LOL.

I've driven her to drink!


Christmas preparations are going well. I have about half of my Christmas shopping complete and am just waiting for some moola to finish the rest. Although I am excited about the holiday season, Christmas will be tough this year for my family and in a way I'm not looking forward to part of it at all. This year will mark the 1 year anniversary of my uncle Gary's death and the end of a christmas tradition. Every year the whole family would go to his and other nanny's home for Christmas Eve. It was truly one of the only family traditions we have and it was definitely something I looked forward to the whole holiday season. This year I don't know what will happen that night, but whatever it is, it will feel like somethings missing.

I really don't want to end this post on such a sad note. It wouldn't be fair to all you people who will help to make my holidays happy. I am looking forward to seeing everyone and giving you all the fabulous presents I have carefully picked out for each of you. My travel plans involve returning home to Pictou County on the 20th of December for a 10 day stay before heading back to the big bad city for New Years Eve. This will give me just enough time at home to spend with everyone but not enough to lose my mind with boredom (fingers crossed).

Well I feel I've said enough for one post. Sorry bout the roller coaster ride of emotions. It's the damn hormones I swear!!!!
