THE MOVE!
Ok, so I'm moving to Oklahoma on Thursday! Eek! And since both of my friends in St. Louis can't have me due to very real reasons, I'll be driving the whole 15+ hours straight through. Ugh. My dad's working on my car so it will be all shiny fixed and ready to go by the time I leave, hopefully. I'm starting to say goodbye to people and my things. I can't take most of it with me.
But the job:
There are three kids: Hayley is 10, Madison is 8 and Londyn is 2.5 (and potty trained!). I will be doing a lot of driving Hayley to gymnastics and working with her on her homeschooling, doing hair, swimming (they have a pool and Londyn is a fish), cooking, grocery shopping, laundry, dishes, and staying on the girls about keeping the upstairs clean. Other things as needed, of course.
They have a housekeepers that come in once a week, and pool guys to do the chemicals in the pool and a robot cleans the pool. His name is Ray. It is a VERY large house in a VERY nice neighborhood - gated community and all. I can't see my parents ever stepping foot in such a place. No pets to look after, too.
I have a very nice room with en-suite bathroom and shower and it's actually furnished! There's a full bed, bedside table, dresser, bookcase, desk and chair, tv and my own DVR that's not connected to the main one for the house so I can record my own programs, and a nice sized closet and storage in the bathroom.
I got to meet one of their babysitters while I was out there and we got on famously. I've already found a friend! And the current/old nanny will still be around in town working on college, so there's someone else I get on with. It is my goal to stay out of trouble with the boys. I don't need that crap following me. I want to be done for a while - no more than friends. I also look forward to finding a church out there. I'll miss Calvary, which I said goodbye to this Sunday, but I've been here less than half the time for the last 5 years.
Um... what am I forgetting to pass on? I don't know. Questions from the peanut gallery?
