Wow, it seems like time has gone so quickly. I feel like I dropped my them of at the airport just yesterday and my vacation is just starting. I, of course, know better. Mid-day Wednesday they come home and my vacation is over. I have had lots of fun though. I spent time at the beach with Meredith, Susan, Steven and Meredith threw me a birthday party. They even made me a cake. It was wonderful. Meredith and Chris went out for drinks with me...I had a few too many....or was it just enough ;-) Meredith and I went to the beach. We both got sunburned... her's turned into a tan in about a day whereas mine lasted a week and peeled. I've spent time on the northshore, the southshore, watched movies, cooked lovely meals and just relaxed. It was the best vacation spent at home that I've ever had.
Now life, it seems, will be returning to normal. Matthew and William will resume their normal day to day schedule with me and Scott and Lynn will return to work on Monday. But I've spent all this time off doing what I want every day. It's going to be difficult to get back to catering to the kids' needs, but I'm sure I'll adjust just fine.
I've made a few friends too, which is exciting in and of itself. I can't wait to get to know them better. Over the next month I hope to plan many many outings with them. This summer I want to go hiking every chance I get and spend all the time outdoors that I can. I also need to find a second job to make more money. I need to save as much as I can to move me back to the mainland when Scott and Lynn move. I still have no idea where it is that I want to go, but I have my dream destinations, my dream house and my dream job. I, of course have to do much more thinking into what exactly it is that I want. Dreams are easy, you can change a dream, but what happens when you're living it and you realize that it isn't what you wanted at all?

When I'm right, I'm right
As much as I love being right, I sometimes hate it too. This guy that I was referring to in last weeks post, well he did exactly what I predicted, thus turning himself into yet another statistic. He started pulling away, calling less and less, until finally text messages and/or phone calls go unanswered. I wish I could say I was surprised by this, but no...he behaved as expected. Oh well, that just means there are more people out there for me to make predictions about. lol. I'll keep you informed of my progress. :-)

The Vacation
This blog has been boring. Why should it be so baby-centric? From here on out, this is NOT going to be about them...these are the Nanny Journals, so guess what? LET'S WRITE ABOUT THE FRIGGIN NANNY!!! The previous posts about the kids, and parenting and childare...yeah, they're going out the window. They'll be deleted very soon and this will become strictly about me. How cool is that? Perhaps I'll finally get around to posting pictures.
With that said...I'm FINALLY on vacation. Scott & Lynn took the kids to Seattle for 11 days which means I have 11 days of freedom... but with that begs but one question...I'm on vacation at home...where I live...what the heck do I do that I haven't done already? To answer that, we have Susan and Meredith. My two very good friends that I've recently made. Susan has 2 kids of her own and Meredith works with my brother in the band. Both girls are wonderful to be around and they just brighten up my day.
So during this little vacation there are a few special occurrences. First, Easter...Which I pretty much spend alone except for the hour or so I met up with Susan and had some lunch at the NEX food court. Today is Easter, btw..I've been on vacation for exactly 1 day thus far. Tomorrow is the other special day...My birthday. Now that's going to be interesting. I haven't heard much talk about it...my birthdays have been somewhat disappointing in the past...like last year, my mom came that weekend, but I wound up having to take her to the airport and say good bye that day. It was sad. The year before that, mom flew up and spent it with me, and that was nice. I enjoyed that... but there have been several in the past that were spent mostly alone...and that's never good... But anyway, this one, I have NO family whatsoever to spend it with. Susan and Meredith are making dinner for me tomorrow night and then we're supposed to be going out to the bars and drinking....I do not envy the hangover I'll likely have the following morning, but I digress. I think I'm going to have a lot of fun.
Believe it or not, this is going to be my first visit to a bar in Hawaii since I initially moved here in July of 2009. I'm mildly terrified, but we shall see how it all turns out.
As for the daytime of my somewhat unplanned day, there is a guy I've been talking to. We met at one of those cliché online dating websites. We met last week when he came over for a walk. He's in the military, thus we have to be somewhat discreet, but not too much so...nobody really knows who he is, and nobody really knows me, so who cares. Anyway, on Monday he agreed that we could spend Sunday (today) together because he was off work. Well guess what... he was too hungover to do that. On Monday we had also agreed that we would be spending Monday the 5th, my birthday, together. I have yet to see if that one is going to happen. I have to say though, I fully expect that he's not going to. This would place him in the same douchebag category as almost every other man I've attempted to date over the last, I don't know, LIFETIME! What I expect is that we met, we kissed, we said goodnight, and he thought in the back of his head that he wasn't sure about me, so he dismissed any though all together. This, in turn, makes him pull away and cancel plans, or (what I expect he'll do) just stop communicating all together. It would not surprise me in least which speaks of how much luck I've had dating in the past.
But alas, I shouldn't snap to conclusions quite yet as it is only Sunday night and I don't know if he'll be coming over yet or not. The only way to find out is to sit and wait and see.
For my night as of now, let's say goodnight. Desperate Housewives and Brothers and Sisters should prove to provide a wonderful evening. :)
G'night all!!
