Cousin Brittney's baby

This a picture of me holding my cousin Brittney's newborn baby girl Sabrina Marie. She was born on Saturday October 11, 2008. She was 8 lbs. 11 oz. and 20 inches. Mom and baby went home on Wednesday and I was there from Wednesday night to last night.

job possibility

Those who I have talked with know that I am a member of a babysitting site called care.com that helps put parents in search of babysitters/nannies together with those of us that provide that service. Well, in the last week, I have had a mom request access to my background check that the site had done, and I approved the request. And just tonight, I got a message from her telling me about her "job offer" and asked me to reply if I was interested. Well, duh!! I was interested. It is for a work-at-home mom who has a 1 month old baby boy. And the duties would be to just watch him during the day. No housekeeping or anything like that. Just watch the baby. It would be a steady 4 to 8 hours a day Monday thru Friday. So I am really looking forward to where this opportunity takes me.

new music

I have a new favorite music group. It is along the same lines as bands I've liked in the past and everyone knows what kind of music I listen to. It is a group of 3 brothers and I just love their music. Well, don't want to go on and on and on and on, what broken record, about them.

Family Vacation Fun

I finally figured out how this works! Yeah for me!

Family Fun

Here is a video that I made during recent vacation visiting family. Enjoy.

blah

Sometimes I wonder what my purpose in life is. For some people their purpose is their families, their jobs, or other things like that. Right now in my life I feel like I am floundering in a sea of emptiness. My job starting giving me less and less hours at work so much so that it was almost a total waste of my time going there to work for 2 1/2 hours to 3 hours just to take 2 hours to get home on the bus. So I gave them my notice saying that it wasn't working for me there anymore and that my mental health needed to be looked after right now. So I am now currently unemployed. Except for the times that I get an emergency phone call from friends that need me to babysit for them while they run to the doctor with contractions. My friend has 2 1/2 weeks left in her pregnancy so when she called her doctor about what was going on, they told her to come on in and get things checked out. Well, she ended up not having her baby today, but I told her that if she needed me to watch her 3 other children while she is in the hospital, then I am more then willing to drop everything and be there for her.

I have also been feeling down because this past week was the four year anniversary of my father's death and funeral. Even though I tell people that that date does not bother me, seeing as the last time I saw him was the June before he died, that is not the whole truth. Because that day still means that I have lost the ability to be able to pick up the phone and say, "Daddy, I love you." and "Daddy I had a bad day can I have a hug?" Just little things like that still to this day sneak up on me and sucker punch me in the gut. I am not sure that he would know quite how to get me out of my doldrums, but I do know that he would try and make me laugh about things that are going on. He would try to find something worth laughing about in almost any situation that life threw his way.

Kraziness Abounds

My life is so chaotic right now it is not even funny. I am 22 years old and I haven't had a boyfriend in 7 years. Yep, not since I was 15 years old. Don't get me wrong, I've like a lot of guys between then and now, but none that actually evolved into anything. But I just know that something is about to happen that will change my life and the lives of those around me and I don't know quite yet what that change will be.
