its time

I took a job. We need me to take a little job, nothing major, nothing too time consuming, but another source of income would be nice. So today is that day - the day that I start my new job. I will be picking up, and then dropping off a little girl from after school. I'm getting geared up for when little girl starts going - I know, I'm several years early, but you can never be too prepared! I'm nervous. Like w/ anything new, that I've never done before, I don't really know what to expect. How long will it take me? Is this going to be a good use of my time? Will I be making enough to make it worth it? Will it cost me more than its worth in gas - I'll be driving? Just the first day jitters thats all I guess. But I really want to help, and be able to make a contribution to our family financially, I hope this works out. The little girl seems to be sweet and I won't be driving too far w/ her so we'll see.

 

In other amazing and developing news w/ the adventures of little girl - she pulled up to standing yesterday! I couldn't believe it! We were playing w/ some friends and I saw her playing w/ a toy sitting on the floor, and then I look back and she's standing and playing w/ the toy! I couldn't believe my eyes - my nanny friend didn't realize that she'd never done that before, b/c she said 'I'm so use to seeing the girls - she watches - do that I didn't think anything of it.' She's getting to be such a big girl. Needless to say , she didn't do it again @ all after we came home - maybe today she'll give it another shot! 

We're off to the Dr office this morning - she's got a bit of a rash, I think from a reaction to peanut oil that some fries were cooked in that she had on Monday. I'm a little concerned, b/c the little red spots all over her tummy, chest, back, neck and face don't seem to be going away. She is going alright, it doesn't really seem to be bothering her though. I'd like to know if there's anything I can be doing for her though. Gees - being a parent is hard! In times like these, where she can't tell me what's bothering her. . . . this is the hard part - the guessing game!
