Nannies?

So it seems when I take my daughter to the park I am one of say no mothers as I have just entered the Nanny Zone. I do live in an area where yes there are a lot of Nannies but it's becoming less and less Stay at Home Mothers around me.

Now when I used to work Full Time I too wanted a Nanny but now I feel lonely at the park lol with no one to talk to. So really, no offense to Nannies I just want more mothers now that I'm trying to be social.

Which brings me to a couple of things I found online. I thought these were both great. The first is a website to report "Bad Nannies" and the second is a real add from Craigs List for a Nanny.

More to come as I get used to blogging again from the mind of a Stay At Home Mother who should find some work because she really wanted these Juicy pants yesterday at Costco and Pixies tickets today and this whole "Staying within a budget" is hard.

Yes, today I would like a job so I can shop. Call me shallow, it's ok...

Loving My Job...Finally!

So the past 10 years I've really hated all my jobs after some time. I'm usually in fear a lot at those jobs that I'm going to be fired. Usually starts pretty quickly into those jobs. Ok there were 4 in the past 10 years, not like I just up and left jobs but seems like employers sold or went out of business.

Then I found this current job.....I work out of my bosses home, I'm allowed to have my daughter at work, I can wear whatever I want, I have a fridge that I don't have to worry anyone will take anything (except diet coke which my boss loves), I set my own schedule, It's just the two of us, sometimes three in the office but mostly it's just me. Who wouldn't love that. Oh and from 12 to 1 I have I Love Lucy playing in the background and even watch it sometimes while I eat a yummy Morning Star Griller with Cheddar.

I woke up today and I have to get KK up for school and it hit me, I won't be at work today and it's ok. I'm walking KK to school and going to the Skirball Center to see the Noah's Ark exhibit with KK's class and my boss ok'd it and for the first time I don't feel like I'm going to be fired. My boss knew that I was a stay at home mom (part time) and that I'm so willing to go there again. Yet, I don't ever have to remind her of that. She says I'm a big part of the company and how grateful she is to have me and she's one of those bosses who is sincere when they speak, what a difference from Corporations to Small Home Businesses.

My boss also informed me that unless I receive a degree in music I can't quit. I'm stuck with her and you know it's ok. It's a small business and there is no overtime really. I've been doing trainings with employee's the past week and so I've had some long days but nothing like I'm used to.

I'm off, I'm going to join a 2nd grade class visit the Noah's Ark exhibit and I'm making two sack lunches for the park, and I'm going to enjoy a day with my 7 year old girl while she still loves to hang out with her mother.

It's all working out...

So yes, I'm still employed as of this weekend (:

Ms. Boss lady has decided to keep me for three more weeks to do a project for one of their clients. See I am the original person who worked on it and well, it's a job for the next three weeks!

What's super cool for me is that I don't have to drive to the Valley except for Fridays!

I've been given a company cell phone, email, and will be reimbursed for expenses. Yes, the comfort of my home with music or the Nick at Night channel as my background noise, instead of office noise.

I do have an interview this Tuesday for my daughters after school program and it could be a large pay cut but a lot less stress and better work hours and possibly summers off.

Everyday is a new journey so I'm off for today's....Universal Studios, Dinner, and The Pasadena Playhouse to end the night...I'm loving this really letting go and just being!
