Adventures in Babysitting

So im babysitting for a friend of ours whose a single parent. well i have the kids overnight for this week and its been really interesting. its been a test on my patience and now i know how parents the world over feel. and im sure its been really interesting for the kids as well. they are the sweetest kids but with the lack of structure in their lives for the past 8 months its like teaching an old dog new tricks when it comes to rules and stuff. i want to be a good babysitter and make sure these kids are well taken care of and i only hope that im making an impact on their lives. these kids are great and im looking forward to taking care of them for the next several months. it gives me something to do and taking care of kids is something i love anyway so it works out. More adventures to come.

Week 4

So Im here in the great state of IL. I love it here. Everyone Ive met so far has been so nice to me. I mean there have been a couple people that have been rude to me but ive sort of looked past that and just chalked it up to a bad day. We are doing well here. We've had to buy some furniture and we are still in the process of unpacking boxes. Its been a slow process. I figure it will take us awhile to fully unpack everything. The hardest part for me has been the fact that I miss all my friends and the rest of the family back in NC. Ive cried a couple of times because i miss everyone so much sometimes. But its getting easier for me. Being here with Jon makes it all better. Plus im making friends here. I just had a friend move in half a mile from me and shes really cool. So with that I will bid you all adieu for now. Ill write more later.
