Finally, I win.
After 2 months of looking at childcare website everyday, applying for loads of jobs, going to interviews, and getting jobs then being screwed out of them... I finally win. Last Thursday I was responding to my emails from people wanting me to watch their kids for ridiculous prices (i.e. two kids from 5 am until 6 pm for 100 a week... seriously...) and I came upon one that looked promising. I emailed the lady and said if she was interested in meeting with me to call. Well as a surprise to me, she actually called. We met Sunday afternoon and she hired me within an hour. Today was my first day, and even though I was a bit iffy about it at first, I ended up loving it. Granted I have to get up at 6 in the morning to get ready and be there by 7, but who doesn't love extra money? That is what coffee is for! So I have a little 19 month old boy I watch all day, him and Sophie just love each other. It was adorable. And there are two older boys that are 9 and 1o, I only watch them for about 2 hours, I get them up for school, then make sure they do their homework when they get home. Plus the kids take care of themselves... crazy! They get up by themselves, shower, eat, get ready, and head out to the bus. I didn't have to do a thing, they even get their baby brother his cereal. Then at 5 Denny picks me up on his way home from work, so this is all working out with one car. I'm so excited we'll finally have a place all our OWN, no damn roommates or family running around. SEX ON THE KITCHEN TABLE! hehe... I kid.
ANYWAY... The other night Sophie was diving me nuts. Two hours of crying because she refused to go to bed (she is her father's child). So daddy came to the rescue. I gave up and we went downstairs to watch a bit of tv until she got tired. Well that didn't happen. They played for a good hour or so. It is so cute watching them. Denny is getting really into the whole "daddy" thing lately, because Sophie actually plays with him now. When she was smaller she would just scream and cry when he wanted to play. Now he will attack her and she will just giggle and try to run away. After all this Denny went to get a PushPop. Sophie saw all the colors and decided she wanted some. So after they shared it - her face, arms, legs, my arms, and my face were all sticky. Then she went right to sleep within 10 minutes... who knew. I posted a few new videos of the PushPop incident, and some pictures. Enjoy.

A Tooth!
8 1/2 months and I finally feel her first tooth breaking through! Huzzah! We were at Wal-Mart yesterday, and on the ride home I was making her giggle. I noticed a little white speck on her gums, so being a concerned mother, what did I do? I shove my finger in her mouth, of course. I felt the little tooth! So she will probably be extra crabby for the next few days. I've also been trying to get her to drink from a bottle since July. And on the ride home I have her a bottle of pear juice and she drank a good two ounces. :) It was a good night.

I am officially EMPLOYED :)
That's right. I'm a workin' lady. I finally got a nanny job, even though its only until December 18th. A single mother is paying me to watch her kids in the evening, while she finishes her degree. All will be wonderful! I start on Monday, and we are going to try it out for a week to make sure everything works out. Wish me luck!

Ready For My Close-Up!
Bad Things Happen In 3's
So that nanny job for $200/week... ya I didn't get it. I think the worst part is knowing that she WAS going to pick me, until her boss told her that she could work from home. Damn boss. I suppose its good for her, but I'm still crossing my fingers that the kids drive her back to work. Yes, I'm a horrible person, I already know this. :) If I had gotten the job, we could have easily afforded a place of our own, we even went to look at houses yesterday. *sigh*
Then with our 2nd car, the geo, didn't pass inspection today so we can't get it registered at the DMV. Joy of joys. We are still down to one car, which leaves me stuck at home all day every day. I feel the need to remind you people with lives, that being home all day can drive a person insane. Anyways.
I'm now waiting for the 3rd thing to strike when I least expect it.
