Sleepless Nights

Good morning? Not so much. Last night was horrible. I could NOT fall asleep. After many failed attempts at relaxing I got up and moved to the couch for a bit. My mind just jumps straight from one thing to another. If its not my new job (starting in two days) then its how bad I want a puppy. I envy Josh sometimes… Once his head hits the pillow he is asleep in seconds. I however have to go to bed two hours early just to ensure that I fall asleep in time to get enough sleep. Isn’t it funny how when we are kids all we want to do is stay up late? Just pushing ourselves to make it past midnight was a huge deal. And then at some point in life all we want to do is sleep. And here I am still lying in bed at 10:37 a.m. because I was up so late (not by choice) that I slept in today. Unfortunate this was a failed attempt at getting my body ready for my new job where I will have to wake up at 5:45. I can already tell I am going to be tired on my first day.

Being tired as a nanny is not a good thing. Especially since I will be taking care of three kids. At least Monday will be a run through day. I can’t decide if I am more excited or nervous. I love kids but I have never had a full time job before. Welcome to adult life!
