Life has been interesting lately; in many different aspects. Despite a few bumps in the road, I am still trucking along. Most of my energy is being channeled into my new job as I near the end of week 2 as full-time nanny. I have taken care of a lot of kids over the years, but twins is a whole new experience. It's double the work of a single baby and has to be done at twice the speed. But I love it! The boys, who I've nicknamed Cookie Monster and Grover, are a lot of fun to work with and I really look forward to getting to work in the a.m. because I am usually greeted by big toothless grins that could make Oscar the Grouch's morning a little brighter.
The other great part about my job is that I am working with children, which, really inspires me to work on my writing. Even better than that, I get to use that inspiration during nap time, which I have recently found is the perfect time to work on my writing. It's usually about an hour, but that is a perfect amount of time to jot down ideas, or edit an already typed out manuscript. Today, I started working on a new idea that I have been pushing around for a few months. I got a lot done and felt accomplished for the first time in awhile. Hopefully I will locate my desk under the moving mess soon so I can get even more done! Though that won't be this weekend as Heather and I are headed to Ponte Vedra Beach.
Heather and I haven't been to PVB in a long time; at least together. That is where we met 10.5 years ago and our epic best-friendship began. I haven't been back since my family moved 8(ish) years ago. It is going to be weird (and I'm not sure that word even covers it). But, it will be fun, because we will be together and that usually results in nothing less than epic moments. And, after all, there will be a beach ;)
Last but not least, I mastered getting home without a GPS today and no "almost" accidents in the 4 lane traffic! Things are looking up!
I'm off to work on the apartment for now, but until then...
Creatively yours,
