I actually did it!

I guess you are all wondering what it is I have done. Well at the beginning of the summer sometime I wrote a blog (that I cannot seem to find) about a goal that I was going to make. Now it was not a big goal but a goal at that and I would just like to inform everyone that I have succeeded. Now if you don't know what my goal was I am sorry but I guess you will have to pay better attention to my post. Anyway moving on. Today I spent the day canning apples. I have the most favorite dessert in the entire world and that is Apple crisp. SO today I canned 27 jars of apples and it only took me 5 and half hours but it was worth it because now I will be able to eat it whenever i want and I hope that it will be delicious.

Frustrating stories of my life as a Nanny.

As I sit here at 1:15am trying to stay awake I think to myself. I should update my blog. I don't have much to update about but I have nothing better to do. Lets see. . . What have I been doing in the last month? Well I am still working in Park City as a nanny. Which I have to say is going OK. I have started school which thankfully I only have one class that I am taking. It is on Wednesday night and it is about the best class ever. It is a literature class and all we have to do is read elementary novels and do some form of book reports on them. The books I have to read include: hatchet, The Giver, Maniac Magee, Esperanza Rising, One series of Harry Potter and Watson's go to Birmingham. Pretty good selection if I do say so myself. Well that is about it. 

I do have a funny but frustrating story to tell about my job. I was babysitting on Thursday and I watch two little boys. They both take a nap. The 4 year old has to be in bed from 2 to 3:30 and believe me this time flies by. So the other day at about 3 I hear him practically throwing a fit in his room. So after about five minutes I go in there to see what the problem is. And you will not believe what he told me. He says to me, "My Poop will not come out. I just keep squeezing and pushing and it will not come out." I was just baffled. I really did not know what to say. So trying not to laugh at him I tell him that he should just lay back and calm down and his poop will come out when it is ready. I was quite proud of myself for the answer I came up with because I was about to strangle the kid. You can tell that my life is quite pathetic when this is the best story of the month that I can give but there it is. I did get to spend the day with my favorite kid today so I am fully recovered from the incident.

July

Ok, so I have been getting a few complaints that I have to updated my blog for a long time so here it goes. The rest of my summer has just flown by. I cannot figure out where it all went. So I will just tell you all the things that I have been doing sense July.

July started off with a bang when I woke up one morning with my tooth feeling like I have rammed an ice pick through it and into my ear. So I set off to the dentist only to find out that my month of July was going to be filled with pain and it was going to be expensive. Starting off on the 30th of June I had to go on antibiotics to clear up my huge infection I had in my tooth so that I could get one of those awesome root canals. After being on those for a week I got to go in on the 6th and have my root canal done. The next couple of days we horrible. My jaw hurt from being propped open for an hour and a half because one they got in there it was still pretty infected so they had to but cleanser down there and made me sit for twenty minutes. Promptly after my root canal I headed to Lake Powell with Susan and her extended family. Can you say Fun! No actually it really was not that bad. The best was getting to drive home with Don because he decided that he had had enough of Susan's family and wanted to come home with me the night before everyone else left. Oh what fun that was. It was probably the longest drive home from lake Powell ever recorded. After getting home from the longest drive ever I had about 6 hours of sleep and then I was up the next morning to go to a babysitters bash where I met Bryna. She has two little boys and wanted me to start babysitting two days a week. So two days before my birthday I started my nanny job in Park City. This is Leo. He is the youngest of the two boys and a complete cutie...

Next was my Birthday. Which I did nothing except at around 4 I went to my friend Patti's house and had cake and then ended up going to a movie with her and her son. The next day Susan felt a little bad because she had forgotten that it was my birthday so she decided that she was going to pretend that it was still my birthday so we had our traditional cake out on the lawn. It is way more fun for the kids then it is for me as you can tell from the pictures of Luke and his little mini look-a-like cousin Zach...

The next Monday was followed by possibly the worst week of my life. I had my wisdom taken from me and the dentist had a hard time getting my left tooth out and he dug and dug at it until it finally came out in five different pieces. This is how I looked three days later. I had to eat apple sauce and chicken noodle soup for four days!!!

Not that this was the end of all my fun. Later that week I developed a dry socket and if you have ever had one I am terribly sorry because it hurts like none other. But because this wonderful thing developed on a Friday night I had to wait until Monday to get it fixed. Not to mention that I had to work a catering job on Saturday. When I got home that night I don't think that I have ever been in so much pain in my life! But once Monday came around I was a happier person. All the dentist had to do was but a few medicated gauze rolls in the hole and it was as good as new. I ended up working all day on Monday and Tuesday so I had no contact with the outside world.

Then to finish up the month I went to the snake river with my family. And wow was the the best time ever. Not. We went up on Wednesday and rafted down the river on kayaks. Then at about one thirty in the morning on Thursday my mom, sister, and my sister's boyfriend showed up at camp. The next two days were filled with arguing, river rafting, and my brothers complaining that they were bored. Tyson and Shawn left Friday night so it was pretty quiet that night but we woke up to the sound of rain puring down on us and it didn't let up all morning. We had to be out of our camp ground by noon so we had to take everything down in the rain. I was soak through to the bone and all muddy. This trip just gets me looking forward to the ten day trip up the coast that my mom insists we need to take as a a family before my brother leave to go on his sail trip around the world. So now as you can see from this very long post that I have been extremely busy in July and so I get to be excused from not updating my blog.
