Snow
Unlike most Minnesota winters we have had very little snow this year. Last night mother nature decided to let us all know that she could change that. Now, so I don't get yelled at to stop complaining let me say that if I could move out of Minnesota I would.
As a kid I loved snow. Playing outside making snowmen and having snowball fights was the best part of winter. The older I got the less I liked it. When I started driving I began to hate it. Snow causes accidents, makes you late for work and can damage your vehicle. There is nothing pretty about brushing 5 inches of heavy wet snow off your car at 6:45 am. There is also nothing pretty about trying to leave your driveway and getting stuck. Shoveling your car out so you can spend 40 min stuck in traffic is not pretty.
I am declaring today a snow day. Liza and myself are going to snuggle up on the couch make some popcorn and watch the lion king for the 7554999282 time. I am also going to day dream about my upcoming trip to the tropical island of puerto Rico. A place that has sunshine sand and palm trees. Before any of that is going to happen I need to put on my big girl boots bundle Liza up and tale her outside because she wants to play in the snow. I am not happy about this. If it was up to me I would cancel everything and declare it a statewide snow day. However, I am not in charge.
I am dreaming of the days when it's sunny 90 degrees and there is no snow.
I am leaving you all with this:
To all my snow/ winter lovers out there I hope you are happy. Mother nature did this for you. Also, because I have to constantly hear about how the summer is too hot and uncomfortable you are going to have to suffer through my comaints about winter and snow. If you would like to come to my house and shovel that would be lovely.
Love,
Me
Ps. I would have posted pictures of what my car looked like this morning but I can't do that from my phone. Please use your imaginations.

crazy days, sleepless nights
hey all!!
So, it has been a few days since my last post and I am just now finding the time to write something up. I would like to thank my best friend for creating my blog for me, it would have never gotten done otherwise. That being said I need to blog so her hard work doesnt go to waste.
February is finally here! I have been dreading this month for quite awhile. Work will be insanly stressful. I am a nanny for a wonderful family that consists of two small business owners and two very adorable chldren. Liza is two and Rad is one. Jill, my boss, will be going on two week long busniess trips this month to Orlando and Belize. Now in most families this wouldnt be an issue because dad would just step up and take over. Gordy (dad) has NEVER been left alone with either kid for more than 6 hours. I REPEAT, NEVER BEEN LEFT ALONE WITH THE CHILDREN!!!! I honestly do not know if he will be able to handle it. I have talked to Jill about this and she has told me that I should let Gordy figure thibngs out on his own but I am terrified that I will get a call at some point saying that one of the kids is in the emergency room. Gordy has a hard time focusing on the kids and watching them. I realize that Jill and I are probably partly to blame becasue we have made it easy on him but its past time for him to step it up. To make things worse Gordy's mom is dying. Im hoping that she will make it until after Jill gets back. Gordy will come unglued if his mom dies and Jill isnt there. All of this adds up to one very stressed out tired Jaymee.I am crossing all my limbs that nothing goes wrong and we all survive. After this month everything will go back to normal and we can focus on the next big thing. I keep having to tell myself to take it one day at a time and not freak out. I have a hard time listening to myself. Im a work in progress.
I am going to try really hard to blog more and get more people to follow me and find some interesting blogs to follow. I promise to make you laugh, cry, cringe and become very frustrated with this crazy life I lead.
