Many Things in One

Okay, so I'm going to cram about 3 or so things into this post (just a heads up).



So, first of all I talked to the family I've been nannying for and they agreed to give me Thursdays off so that I can have at least one day out of the week to do whatever I need to do starting tomorrow (: and since Wednesday's I'm in school until midnight I'm using my in-between class time to catch up a little on IS, Anatomy, and a really awesome assignment I got for English where I have to choose a brand I've been loyal to for years and write a script or draw a picture of how the logo or products have changed. So because coffee is my life I chose Starbucks (:



Second: This Sunday I came home and my baby sister was really sick, so my mother took her to the doctor Monday morning and she had to be put on a respirator. The doctor insisted we bring one home so she can be put on it for one hour in the morning and one hour before bed. It made me a little upset that I couldn't be at the appointment to ease her but it was nice of my mother to FaceTime me so that my baby sister could talk to me while she was there. She's doing better now, her lungs were really congested and it made her unable to breathe well on her own, but with the respirator she's gotten back a good percentage of her normal lung capacity, which I'm very happy about. And for that I'd like to post a picture of her (:

 



Third: I was the idiot that tried to add a video to their PowerPoint and, in the end, couldn't send it to Prof. Wu. So in honor of my idiocy and you all not being able to see the video, I'm posting it on here (: The point I wanted to make with this video was to showcase the theatrical performances Motionless In White gives [that I was talking about] and also show Kylie Devyn's now-role in the band other that just being "Ghost's girlfriend". Enjoy all (: [oh and their music is a little loud so if loud isn't your thing you may want to turn the sound down a little, but give the instrumentals a listen because the synth/keyboard in the beginning is great].

The "Need A Vacation" Blues

Full disclosure: this is going to be a rant of things I need to get off my chest.

So, I like my second job, it pays decent and the kids aren't too much of a handful but good lord was I horribly wrong thinking I would get more time to myself. At this point in time I'm working 7 days a week (Sunday-Monday, sometimes both jobs on Saturday and Sunday since I don't  have school those nights) and my in and out times are changing so often I can't sleep without waking up every half hour.

I've been taking care of the little boy I signed up to originally take care of, his mom (who is recovering from a surgery), and his 6-year-old sister. I've been doing some housekeeping also, on top of buying their groceries and clothes and art stuff for the kids, and taking the 6-year-old to and from school. I'm home about 10% of the time (not even over exaggerating), which is leaving me little to no time to be with my baby sister (whom is more like my daughter) or let alone do homework.

At this point I just say it's about time for a vacation. And a 3-day nap!

A New Beginning

 I just got a second job as a Nanny for a 3-year-old boy. It feels so much better working with children than at a restaurant. I'm happy to announce that with this second job I've reduced my days at the restaurant and will hopefully have a little more time on my hands (:

I Don't Really Know How to Title This Post (:

I'm sitting in the library working on homework for all my classes before my English 102 class starts and it really makes me wish I had more time to spend doing this sort of thing at school or just in a library. It would be great if I could do what I did a few years back and just sit here doing work hours before my classes start and after they end.

I have a younger sister that's 16 and she's in the CSN High School program here at the Charleston campus. She doesn't drive just yet so it gets hectic arranging my schedule so I can take her home, to work, etc. But at least she's as driven as I am to be working towards her diploma and Associate of Science in Dentistry at the same time. Makes me really proud of her (:
