Thinking About: I am thinking about so much right now, I kid you not! School starts in two shorts days, which means my summer has about come to an end. School, school, school...yay! I am pretty excited (for the time being) about school starting back up and me being able to go to class and actually DO something...but I am a little scared because I got a new job (which I have been praying so badly about!!! THANK-YOU JESUS!!!) and this particular job for this particular family is definitely going to test me. I am a babysitter now/part-time nanny. Every other week I stay the night with the munchkins: a 3 month old, Kora, a 5 year old, Nate, and an 11 year old, Nick. On the off weekends I babysit throughout the day, BUT, what worries me is that on the weekends that I do stay the night with the kiddos (getting no sleep what-so-ever because, again, Kora is a 3 month old) and having to sleep except for about 2 hours the next morning before my classes, go to my classes all day, and then turn around and go back to babysitting until very,very late at night is definitely going to keep me on edge. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" (Phil 4:13) That is what I will be going by for the next year or so. I can do it!!!
Reading: I haven't had much time for reading thus far. I still need to finish the book from the last time I posted. I probably have only read about a page and half since I last posted...that is so sad...so sad...
Listening To: What have I been listening to? hmm...that's a hard one. There hasn't been a specific song that has been keeping me on my toes. Mostly, I just play my playlist titled "Bree" and sing along to every song on that thing. Which is why it is titled "Bree". Because I can sing every single song on that playlist, horribly I might add, but I do know the lyrics. It's the playlist that I put on whilst we travel from town to town, or even down the street to the grocery store. I would link some kind of cool website where you can listen to the kind of songs I listen to...if only I had one...*sigh* Get it together, man!
Watching: Wow, I feel like I have been very boring these past two weeks!!! Again, I've got nothing. I suppose I can put "The Lego Movie" since that is all that seems to be playing all day every day while I babysit. Boy, does Nate love that movie!!! I've probably seen it about 10 times in the past 5 days that I have been babysitting...
Thankful For: I am so extremely thankful for my job!!! Although at times it can be taxing, I find that I have been so blessed to have gotten this job. The family is incredibly kind and the children (and baby) are so sweet. I couldn't have asked for a better opportunity right now. It proves to be a great experience as well as good practice for my future in teaching little ones and having my own little ones.
Praying For: Oh, Lord! Please give me the strength to stay focused in school. Give me the energy to stay on top of my homework even when I am chasing the little munchkins around! Help me to see passed the stress I might feel or the emotional roller coaster I am about to board.
There you have it, my passed to weeks in a few paragraphs. Until next time!
Cheers,
Bree
