is it March 7 yet??

only one week till i see my love, KELLER!!! I'm so excited to see him and for a much needed break from work. after working 25 days in a row after this week, i think all that work is worth it because i get to take the whole week off while Keller is here!! were going to have so much fun, lay on the beach, go on dates, visit his friends in ft. Myers, and just be together!! i am so luck he is able to come down here for his spring break. its very hard being away from him, especially sense we usually only get to see each other only every 5 weeks or so. being away has definitely made out relationship stronger, we definitely don't take our time together for granted anymore but we make the most of every moment we spend together!! absence does make the heart grow fonder!! i cant wait till the day we get married and get to spend the rest of our life's together!!!

its all in a days work.

my day started out fabulous, that's new for a change...i woke up to warm pancakes, played tennis for a couple house, beat an 80 year old man (i feel pretty good about that) and went to the beach, how ever as soon as we got to the beach the weather took a turn for the worst. its was cold really cold, the weather went down to about 65 and if you live in Florida it actually is cold. so me and the kids had some lunch instead and went home for some good play dough time. later in the day i somehow managed to get the kids to rest for 2 hours. ahhh life is sweet. however it turned sour real quick after i said I'm tired and ken didn't understand why i was tired after a mere 20 days of work he somehow came up with the idea I'm not really working...i don't get, it i thought to myself, why am i here if I'm "not really working". why do someone people trust you with their kids life and have you watch them 12 plus hours a day and say your not even working, will someone please explain to me what i am doing here, cause it sure isn't my first pick. why are some people not content with themselves, they have to pick other people apart?

supernanny...I THINK SO!!! super fiance...i dont know!

19 days straight of work, 190 hours, 11400 minutes, 684000 seconds later i am tired. i have played every game possible from hide and seek to candy land to lets see who can rest the longest (i always win.) we have crafted every craft possible from cutting out shapes and making our own puzzles to just about everything you can think of with paper plates including caterpillars! we have watched enough wonder pets, Ni ho Ki-Lan, and Dora to last me a year! i know its too much when i know all the songs and start clapping with them! i would like to classify myself a super nanny!! i really can do it all, if i don't say so myself. however when it comes to super fiance, i struggle and I've been being a girlfriend/fiance for much longer, a little over two and a half years, 933 days, 55980 hours, 3358800 minutes, 201528000 seconds, and counting. and after all that time I'm not tired of it! but at night when i finally get to talk to Keller I'm always too tired to talk i just want to rest and be. its not fair to Keller after he waits all day to talk and all i have to offer up is "i don't really have much to talk about" that's not nice. i maybe in some ways resent that he still get to live his life go out and have fun whenever he wants while I'm usually stuck in bed by 9:00am, which is way to early for a girl like me. i need to take more time for Keller and put him first instead of my job.

as you can see we really are fit for each other!!

why God did you give me such bad ovarian plains!!

its 5:00 am, where are those aspirin!! as i wake up annoyed from my dreams to my worst night mare, i am not a happily sleeper. ovarian pains at 5 in the morning just wont do!! who ever invented the saying "have a happy period" had to have been a man because i have never been too happy over this visitor!!! ( this is for my mom so she would give me sympathy)
two nights ago i was talking my Keller (my wonderful fiance) and he says "how come you don't write anything about me". well one, i don't see you hardly as much as i would like to and two i have no other excuse. i should express how grateful i am to have him in my life, whenever things seem bad he always seem to make them better with a snap of his fingers. Keller is without a doubt the most caring, sympathetic, loving, hardworking, motivated, HANDSOME, fiance ever!!! i am one lucky, lucy ladybug girl that he stuck around and put up with me :)

Coxsackievirus is not my best friend

Coxsackievirus is not what i had planed for this week!! This is hand, foot and mouth disease, Lexi came down with it yesterday and the Doctor said not school for a week, i respond "are you nuts" little did i know Kenny would come down with it to! 12 hour days are not what i had planed this week after working many hour last week when there parents were gone. well what can i do, noting but make the best of it i guess. so before lunch time we did: play dough, school project, made brownies, straightened Lexi hair, mine too and learned how to play candy land! we were busy to say the least. just as i started to think this is crazy, i cant do this anymore, Kenny made it all the more challenging as i was putting on my make up, he was really busy himself, he took all my shoes from my closet, emptied my underwear drawer and broke a game.
i was going to loose it, luckily before i did i went to my computer to check my blog, i just couldn't deal with it anymore, i was reading my sisters newest post about compassion and both the kids jumped on my lap and listened to the music video about compassion that Jessica uploaded, as the music was playing i started crying, Lexi not only told my that "its okay sweetheart" but started hugging my tightly and whipping my tears and asked me if i miss Keller and my mom in Michigan? i said of course i do and she said she did to. as soon as i pulled myself together she made it even more clear to my why I'm here, i don't know many four year old that will comfort you when this are bad but she said i know you would hug my if i was sad too.



also I'm wearing the smallest pair to jeans i own, today is a good day!!

you think you know someone...until they're nice to you?

Wow Chelsea that shirt look great on you, aqua really bring out your eyes. um well thanks Ken. Now I'm thinking what does he want from me? More hours, something cleaned. No nothing just a compliment, that was weird. An hour later "Chelsea want me to make you lunch", "no that's okay i can do it." No Chel how about a hot dog i know you like those want one, I'm making one for myself anyways? okay where is he and what have you done to Ken?? I do believe in the power of prayer...and a good vacation!!!

ready or not here He comes!!

in our every day life we have uncertainty's, what time will i be done working? what time will i start working? will my face be clear when i see Keller next? all these questions leave us wondering, but we never have to wonder if Jesus is coming because we know he is. this was the message at church today (i got to Calvary Chapel in Fort Lauderdale) for some people there whole life they're left wondering whats going to happen when i die? this was a very simples message but i know it made a huge impact on people, over 50 committed themselves to Christ this morning! now that's a PTL!! (praise the Lord)
However this morning i realized i need to work on not judging people, before i even say hello. i saw a "ghetto" couple walking in, the girl has a dress that would be perfect for a night out at the club, the guy a sweet flat rimed ball cap and jean that would fit his over sized grandmother. i thought to myself what are they doing, they'll probably get up half way through because they dint like what there hearing. little did i know that when the pastor asked people to come forward to commit themselves to Christ, they were the first couple up there hand in hand. i thought wow i am shallow for think so low of them.
please help me stop judging people for i know i don't want people judging me!!

p.s. thank you Jessica for making my blog cute!!!

i need a day off, or do i?

ahhhh...ahhh.....OH NO! Kenny's up, its gotta be like 7:30 right?? no, no, no 6:30!? what, this is not right, who get up that early on a weekend?I'm not a mom, but i am a dun da dah...super nanny!! well i know i shouldn't complain both my sisters do it everyday and don't get a day off and they do a great job, plus I'm getting paid for it so you think id be okay, right? well as I'm still half sleeping we go downstairs start watching blues clues, and I'm thinking to myself this is going to be a long day. little did i know God had a better idea. i changed my attitude got the kids ready and headed off to our favorite indoor play place, A latte fun!! we play for hours then enjoyed a nice lunch at Panera Bread, the kids did great. its a beautiful day so i think we'll moise on down to the park later this afternoon. thank you God for my attitude change!

the begining

this is the beginning of my blogging.
little did i know back in may 2009 that i would become a nanny (i like to call myself super nanny) none the less i worked the summer and was asked to move to Florida and continue working for them. WOW!!! Florida heck ya i love Florida that sounds awesome!!! But my idea of FL and there idea was really quite different, me: 50 hours of work, the beach, meeting new people, having fun in FL. Them: working 80 plus, having no life, working more, and then working a little more. i have lately been struggling with this whole thing. well i can sure say God is using me. i have sense then learned to adapt to living and working in FL (luckily i can say i work fewer hours these days)

well i thought this whole blogging thing might be a good way for me to learn not to complain but to be grateful for what i have, maybe, just maybe if i type, read it, re-read it then post it i will learn not to blab about how horrible it is in Florida,but to count my blessings and remember what i have waiting for me every time i come home!! well...what i have is a wonderful fiance ( i couldn't have asked for a better guy, hes more then i could imagine, but God knew he was perfect for me) i have a great family how supports me beyond belief, and my home!! I'm not yet sure what ill be blogging about but i think this will be my outlet of gratefulness!
