I can hardly believe that the day is all but here....the day that I have been dreaming of for a whole year! No, it's not the day that Jesus raptures His church! That has been on my mind for many years!!! I'd choose that above all else! No, this is the day I start my dream job, a nanny job! Will I know how to act? Will I know when to be firm and when to let things go? Can I go from a single's life to a "mom" of 3 children without being stressed out? Oh, I won't have a problem loving the kids! You see, I have spent 2 half days already with them and that is definitely not a problem! They are sweet children! I think I shall bond quickly with the 2 youngest. But it's the oldest, the 5 year old, that I hope I can win. I hope I can keep from being irritated at him. He seems to crave attention and he is very intelligent for his age. I hope I can spur him on to learn more and not just get frustrated when he gets smart alecky! I will have to get adjusted to shooting motions and loud "pow! boom!" noises. I really don't like loud noises but boys seem to like them and the 2 half days I was there, the oldest seemed to be all over that! Sigh! I don't like when kids act like they are shooting others either, so I will have to learn to put up with that too, unless I decide that I have the authority to tell them they may not pretend to shoot around me!
My heart's plea to God is that I can impact these little lives for His kingdom. I need to be a consistent godly example, one that they can fully trust, that they can respect and honor. God, help me to do that! With YOUR help I can! I believe that the parents might go to church but I have no idea what their relationship with God is. The fact that they go to church doesn't say a whole lot, only that they might have an interest in God.
I'm really hoping that I can get on a schedule of taking the kids to the library every week or every other. I love books and I like reading to kids so if I can take them weekly and have them pick out some books that'd be swell. It might be interesting to have to keep them together and make sure no books get lost but I think it could be done! Moms do it so I guess I can too! I'm also hoping to do crafts with them. I like crafts alot and I think I could get them excited about crafts. I never had a hard time being a sales lady, in other words I do have the gift of persuasion in some areas and I believe I could get the kids interested whether or not they are already!
Today was a fine and dandy day. I slept in of course. Why not, on my last day before my new job! Last night I got my last pictures put in an album....they'd been out the entire year so far and now my table is finally clean. Looks so nice! Now my printer is finally off the floor and I won't have to bend over to print stuff. My scrapbooking stuff is all tucked away and in it's case under the table. I finished some of my odds and ends that I really wanted to finish before I start work. Now updating my blog is the second to last thing on my list. The next thing I have to do is write letters. I don’t know if that will get done because soon I have to get ready to sing. I’m singing in the quartet tonight, with the Hursts.
Today my sister and mom came over. My sis just got back from Kentucky last night. She was there for 3 months, helping at a home with prison babies and handicapped people. I had not seen her for those 3 months. She stopped in last night a few minutes after midnight so I saw her then but just briefly. So she came over at noon and we had Papa John’s pizza and we had a nice time. She looked at the 4 picture albums I did while she was away and I looked at her pictures from Kentucky. Now I’m feeling sleepy but I must soon eat and get ready to sing. I feel like I’m coming down with a sore throat. It really doesn’t hurt yet but you know how it sometimes just feels like you’re getting something, kinda like a draggy feeling. Yuck! I hope it’s just a notion and doesn’t amount to anything!
Oh, how could I forget that I was at the dentist this morning! I was not in the mood, not that I’m ever in the mood! I was so afraid I’d have a cavity but I prayed and I asked my mentor to pray and thank you Jesus I had no cavities. I have so many fillings in my mouth that I don’t want to think about any more of them!
Well, I guess I won’t write again til I’ve started my new job. I’ll have lots to write about, I suppose!
