first week as a nanny

while my experience so far has been great, there have been a few surprises i think my first big shock was the cleaning. i never realized how much of a mess and how much laundry a 5 year old could create! the second surprise was just how much energy they have, and, more importantly, how little i have. i talked with mom yesterday and was telling her how tired i've been feeling a lot of the time. i just don't feel like i have enough energy! i know a lot of it has to do with the heat and humidity, but part of it is also the amount of running around i've been doing. the heat here, by the way, has been almost unbearable! its been like 100 for the past 3 days, no breeze, and very high humidity. thankfully, tonight there was a storm and the humidity is down to a little over 30% and its only 80. tomorrow, i'm planning to go down to the city and hang out down there for the day. hopefully, i'll get to go to a couple museums and just walk around the park or something. we'll see what happens. hope you all have a great weekend!
