A lady in town lost her nanny to vacation & the holidays, & my great sister in law got me the job. Three boys that are ALL boy. James comes with me most days plus one other family friend. Yesterday we all (5 kids & me) went mini golfing & to the park! It was fun & not too crazy. The oldest brother is great with the one year old so it makes it quite easy.
It was perfect timing too...which i think has more to do with changing my perspective. I'm having a pretty home sick week & to have something to distract me & help me stay connected emotionally here helps. It's easy for me to check out & just go through the motions...it's all apart of adjusting but I want to enjoy the moments here.
Changing my perspective & expectations helps in seeing things happen at the "perfect time.". Between so much change this year & feeling & trying to learn lessons of not people pleasing has left me spinning a bit. For me it's all a process & journey of mostly learning that life isn't perfect & expectations aren't bad but adjustable. When hold too tightly to my expectations I often have missed cool gifts along the way.
This week it's hanging out with three boys, next week who knows. I just want to keep learning to love, let go of things that have hurt & accept myself exactly where I am. Funny how watching carefree kids teaches you things.
